Hi Maria,
    My program called "The SignWriter Studio" has many features, one of 
them being SignWriting Documents.  It has been a big project.  Some of 
it´s goals have been faster sign input, keyboard input, standalone 
program not needing internet, multi-spoken language to signlanguage, 
sign lists to helps students learn new signs.
    I am still working on the printing routines but the goal is that the 
columns flow into the space available.  So it can do any size page.  I 
have it working were it will accommodate and re flow to the window size.

Here is an update of the progress of my program.
