> 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.
