b. When the NEO warns you that the text that's already in the file will be
deleted, press y for "yes" if you want to continue. The file will open in
AlphaWord Plus.
You will see a report like the one below, showing information for each

In the Teacher Options, you can also set new speed (Words Per Minute or
WPM) and accuracy (error) goals for students who use KeyWords on this
NEO. As your students' typing improves, you may want to set a higher goal
for words per minute and a lower goal for errors. Only teachers can set goals;
students can't set their own goals.
When you set goals, you are setting them for all lessons and all students who
use this NEO. You can't set different goals for different students who are
using the NEO. The goals apply to all accuracy and speed builders and to
tests.
If you set goals using the teacher options, those goals will stay the same for all
lessons and students until you change them.
If you do not set goals using the teacher options, KeyWords starts with easy
goals for all students and gradually makes the goals more difficult as students
progress through lessons. The following table shows how the goals progress
as the student works through lessons.
