Using the Images

The sign graphics files are in emf format, which can be used on their own as clip-art graphics and incorporated into most standard applications such as MS WORD and DTP programs by searching by file name and inserting each graphic in the usual way.

For simpler and more instant access to the signs via words, part words, synonyms and associated meanings, the graphics work at their best in Widgit Software Symbol writing applications such as Writing with Symbols and Communicate: In Print and this is what we recommend.
