About the Disable This SmartApplet Setting
Every SmartApplet includes the “Disable This SmartApplet” setting. You can 
check this box to disable the SmartApplet for connected NEOs so it cannot be 
used. (To find out how to disable SmartApplets right on the NEO, see 
page 56.) For example, you might disable Calculator if you want to prevent 
access to electronic calculations during a quiz or math assignment.
AlphaWord Plus Settings
AlphaWord Plus has its own settings that you can control through 
AlphaSmart Manager:
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 (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 
Setting:
What It Does:
Disable This 
SmartApplet 
If checked, this setting prevents the user from 
using AlphaWord Plus. See page 109.
Passwords Enabled 
Enables the use of individual file passwords in 
AlphaWord Plus. See page 77.
File Passwords
Specifies a common password for all AlphaWord 
Plus files. See page 114.
Show Marks
Sets whether to display arrows where there are 
tabs and carriage returns.
Maximum File Size 
(in characters)
Set by default to 51,200 characters 
(approximately 25 pages). See “File Sizes” below.
Minimum File Size 
(in characters)
Set by default to 512 characters (approximately a 
quarter of a page). See “File Sizes” below.
Delete All AlphaWord 
Plus Files
Deletes all AlphaWord Plus files on connected 
NEOs, including files 1-8 and named files that 
aren’t in files 1-8.
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 68.
You can estimate 
page lengths using a 
character count of 
2,048. A page is 
approximately 2,048 
characters, though page 
length can be affected by 
printer and program settings 
on your computer.
