There may be times when you want to turn off the spell check feature. For
example, if students use NEO for spelling assignments, you may not want
them to be able to spell check their work.
There are three ways to turn off spell check or turn it back on:
• You can press option- -spell check on a NEO and enter the master
password.
• You can use the Control Panel SmartApplet on the NEO (page 65).
• From AlphaSmart Manager, you can disable spell check for all connected
NEOs (page 110).
For the first two methods, you'll need to enter a master password. For
information on master passwords, see "The Three Passwords Used with
NEOs" on page 75.
If you have a list of custom words that regularly trip up your spell checks—
such as scientific terms, proper names, or acronyms—you can add them to the
AlphaWord Plus dictionary so that spell check doesn't question them in the
future. There are three ways to add words to the user dictionary:
• During the spell check, you can press A for "add" when spell check
questions the word.
• You can change the Spell Check Settings in the Control Panel (see page 65).
Using this method, you can add words to the user dictionary or delete the
user dictionary. (You can also turn off the ability to add words to the
dictionary.)
• You can create a text file on your computer that contains the words to be
added, and then you can send it to your NEO(s) using AlphaSmart
Manager. See page 118.
The AlphaSmart Manager method is the most efficient because it allows you
to update more than one NEO at the same time. If you use this method, you
can also add several words to the NEO's user dictionary at once, and you can
delete individual words from the user dictionary. (You can't delete words
using the other methods.) Whenever you make updates to your text file,
simply use AlphaSmart Manager to send the file again, and the existing user
dictionary on the NEO(s) will be overwritten. To find out how to use
AlphaSmart Manager to send a user dictionary to NEO(s), see page 118.
