Thank you for your message. Of course you have an excellent idea, and I agree with you. I am sure that will happen someday. It may not be SignWriter 5.0 that is the one that works with Microsoft Word, but some program will, I assure you! The other day, a group using SignWriting in another country, sent me a document that is wonderful! It seems that they typed some SignWriting symbols in Microsoft Word. Now don't jump up and down until I find out more from them! I believe they simply have fonts in SignWriting, rather than a true typing program for SignWriting, but the fonts are very nice and beautifully designed and are better than nothing, that is for sure!! After my guests leave tomorrow, I will be working with my computer programmer, Larry, on SignWriter 5.0 again. The work I am doing on SignWriter 5.0 is something that other programmers will be able to use to create even better programs, so SignWriter 5.0 may not necessarily be the ultimate answer, but the work I am doing is going to help those new programs succeed. So 1999 will be an important year in software development! I want to wish everyone a very very Happy New Year!!
