AlphaWord Plus supports linked files, that is, files that you connect to
AlphaWord Plus files. A linked file is a place to store additional information
related to a file. For example, you could create a linked file that outlines the
writing you plan to do, displays a checklist of tasks to accomplish, stores
vocabulary words, or contains rubric information. Teachers can use them to
include guidelines for writing assignments.
A linked file is read-only. You can't create or edit linked files in AlphaWord
Plus. You create them on your computer, enclosing the text within special
tags, and send them to AlphaWord Plus using AlphaSmart Manager (see
page 43) or Get Utility.
On your NEO, you can press ctrl-l to go back and forth between the file you
can write in and the linked file.
Here's an example of a simple linked file that lists vocabulary words:
