20 Using Your AlphaSmart 3000
x-k moves the cursor to the beginning of the line
x-l moves the cursor to the end of the line
Home moves the cursor to the beginning of the document
End moves the cursor to the end of the document
As with any word processing application, the text will automatically
wrap at the end of each line, so you should use the enter key only to
separate paragraphs.
Text Formatting
All text formatting, including margins, tab stops, font, size, and other
styling attributes, are done on the desktop computer after the file has
been transferred from the AlphaSmart 3000. Only the characters
themselves (ASCII key codes) are transferred from the AlphaSmart
3000 to the computer.
However, the tab key can be used on the AlphaSmart 3000 to create
columns or paragraph indentations which will transfer to the Macintosh
and PC with the file. When the tab key is used, it will appear as a right
arrow on the AlphaSmart 3000 screen when Show Marks is activated.
See the Advanced AlphaSmart 3000 Features – Show Marks section for
further information. Although text will not appear indented on your
AlphaSmart 3000, it will show up indented on your computer. The
AlphaSmart 3000 has cut, copy, and paste functions included. See the
following section “Editing Text” for more information.
Note: These editing features can also be performed once a file has been
transferred to the desktop computer, and may be easier to perform
using a larger screen and mouse.
Caps Lock Indicator
When Caps Lock is active, the lower right character of the screen will
be solid black. Pressing the Caps Lock key toggles the caps lock on and
off.
