Sending Text to Applications
Since the AlphaSmart 3000 simply retypes the data from your files, you
can transfer the text in an AlphaSmart 3000 file to any application that
you can type into—not just word processing applications.
Sending to Applications
When in another application, simply put the cursor where you want the
text to go and press the send key on the AlphaSmart 3000. This can be
a multi-media text field, or when using the text tool of a page layout
program, or in an e-mail program. Wherever you would normally type
in the information, you can easily download information from an
AlphaSmart 3000 by placing your cursor at that point in the new appli-
cation and pressing send.
Spreadsheets
You can transfer text directly into a spreadsheet if you are using
TurboTransfer Software or Infrared Transfer. However, for some
spreadsheet applications, transferring the text directly via a cable will
not produce the desired results, as shown in the following example:
1. Open a spreadsheet application and create a new spreadsheet.
2. Put the cursor into the upper left cell of the spreadsheet file.
3. Press send on your AlphaSmart 3000.
