Some of these
settings can also be
changed in the NEO
Control Panel. You can't set
file size limits in the Control
Panel, but you can set
passwords for individual files
instead of setting the same
password for all files. For
more information, see
page 67.
You can estimate
page lengths using a

on your computer.

File Sizes

In the AlphaWord Plus settings in AlphaSmart Manager, you can set
minimum and maximum file size limits. (The minimum size limit ensures
that a certain amount of space is reserved on the NEO for each file.)
The highest maximum file size allowed is 102,400 characters (about
50 pages); the minimum is 512 characters (about one quarter of a page). To
keep track of how many characters and pages are in a file and how much
space is left, press ctrl-W while working in the file on the NEO (see page 46).
If you increase the maximum file size, keep in mind that the total amount of
space available on a NEO remains the same, and SmartApplets such as
AlphaQuiz and their data files also take up space on the NEO. The space
required for SmartApplets affects the amount of space left for AlphaWord
Plus files. When working with large files, you might notice some performance
issues, depending on the number of SmartApplets on each NEO, the number
of files, and the size of files and data on the NEO.
