Sending Empty Files to NEOs
In the AlphaWord Files to Send tab, you can check the box next to the number
of an empty file and send it to your NEO to overwrite any existing text in that
file on the NEO. This is a handy trick to use if you’ve retrieved text from your
NEO and no longer need the text on the NEO.
If you want to delete all the AlphaWord Plus files from your NEO, including
named files that aren’t in workspaces, it’s better to use the Delete All Files
setting described in “AlphaWord Plus Settings” on page 111.
Retrieving KeyWords Data Using AlphaSmart Manager
KeyWords is a SmartApplet that helps students learn to type. Using
AlphaSmart Manager, you can retrieve information about students’ progress
through KeyWords lessons on NEOs.
If your students are using KeyWords, when you connect the NEOs and click
the KeyWords tab, AlphaSmart Manager displays the students’ names and
gives you options for creating and saving reports and for synchronizing the
information with Renaissance Place (for Renaissance Place subscribers).
The KeyWords tab, its features, and tasks are described more fully in the
AlphaSmart Manager User Manual. If you do not have a printed copy of this
manual, you can find it on our Web site or the NEO Documentation CD.
For more information about KeyWords, refer to the NEO 1 and NEO 2
SmartApplet User Manual on our Web site or the Documentation CD.
Installing SmartApplets on NEOs Using AlphaSmart
Manager
SmartApplets are programs on your NEO. For a list of the SmartApplets that
come installed on NEOs, see page 8. By following the steps below, you can
install other SmartApplets or updates or reinstall SmartApplets that you’ve
removed. To do this, you install a SmartApplet on your computer (if
necessary), then select it and send it to your NEO with AlphaSmart Manager.
For more information about available SmartApplets, visit our Web site.
1. If you have a new SmartApplet that isn’t already available to install in
AlphaSmart Manager, install the SmartApplet on your computer, following
the instructions in the SmartApplet package.
UK NEOs use KAZ
instead of
KeyWords.
