Signwriting Documents - another program?

[MARIA AZZOPARDI]

Hi Jonathan,

All the features mentioned are exactly what I need, but the most imp one
is that when you add a column of signwriting in the middle of the
document, all following columns move to accomodate it.  Like writing
spoken languages in Word, you can insert a paragraph wherever you like and
everything else moves to accomodate it (I don't know what this is called
in technical terms, I'm sure there is a word for it :)

So you are working on a program for signwriting documents?

What about the option of printing A5 is that possible in this program?

Thanks for your response,

Maria
