Formatting Text
NEO lets you concentrate on the content of your text rather than its layout.
Formatting—such as margins, fonts, and style attributes—are more
conveniently performed on your computer (with its larger screen and mouse)
after you transfer text from your NEO. Only the characters themselves (ASCII
key codes) are transferred from NEO to the computer.
You can, however, change the size of the screen font on your NEO. See
“Changing Font Size” on page 30 for details.
Using Tabs
You can use press the tab key to create columns or paragraph indents in your
file.
If you have Show Marks on, tabs look like this: . If Show Marks is not on,
tabs look like spaces between characters.
Changing Font Size
You can change the font size that is used on your screen when you work in
AlphaWord Plus or AlphaQuiz 3.1. The font change does not affect other
SmartApplets. AlphaQuiz 3.1 does not support the Very Large or Extra Large
fonts. Changing the font doesn’t add any attributes to the text, so when you
send text to your computer or printer, the text itself is plain text and uses your
default font or the font you’ve chosen in your computer program.
Six font sizes are available:
• System (four lines per screen using a fixed-width font)
• Small (six lines per screen)
• Medium (five lines per screen)
• Large (four lines per screen with a proportional font)
• Very large (three lines per screen)
• Extra large (two lines per screen)
When you change the font size, that change applies to all files in AlphaWord
Plus. You can’t set different font sizes for different files. If, for some reason,
some of the font sizes are removed from your NEO (using AlphaSmart
Manager), AlphaWord Plus goes back to the four-line system font.
