Hi Maria, Valerie, Steve, ... Valerie wrote: "... And we can still do that…easily with the PNG format..." I experienced the same - that it seems to be a problem to do this copy and paste easily - smile . My work around for this is to save the single lane as a single .png-file. Afterwards you can insert this graphic into a word-document. Nevertheless I am looking forward to learn more about the new option Steve is going to offer...

I can see that there is a problem with copying and pasting in SVG. However I guess I have just realised that I have a problem copying and pasting the usual png format into Word 7. For some reason I am unable to copy directly into Word column by column. I can paste into the Paint program but not Word. It's not urgent for me to solve right now as I'm working on other things, and it's not a huge problem either because I can still copy from Paint and then into Word 7. However if I had a very long piece of work to transfer to Word it would facilitate if I could paste directly into Word - and anyway if its possible to paste using SVG with Steve's converter then that's even better. I can't check the DocumentMaker just now - racing against the clock with deadlines - but once I'm writing longer texts will surely do so. Really impressed with the SVG format! I really didn't realise that update in SignPuddle 2.0 - probably my fault as I have to scan emails and not able to follow all discussions on the list in depth. thanks for your help maria > SignWriting List > June 12, 2012 > > Hi Maria - > And we can still do that…easily with the PNG format. > > But now we have another choice that looks better…called SVG Refinement > font.
