Formatting Text
NEO lets you concentrate on the content of your text rather than its layout.
Formatting—such as margins, fonts, and style attributes—are more
conveniently performed on your computer (with its larger screen and mouse)
after you transfer text from your NEO. Only the characters themselves (ASCII
key codes) are transferred from NEO to the computer.

Changing Font Size
You can change the font size that is used on your screen when you work in
AlphaWord Plus. Changing the font doesn’t add any attributes to the text, so
when you send text to your computer or printer, the text itself is plain text
and uses your default font or the font you’ve chosen in your computer
program.

Six font sizes are available:
• System (four lines per screen using a fixed-width font)
• Small (six lines per screen)
• Medium (five lines per screen)
• Large (four lines per screen with a proportional font)
• Very large (three lines per screen)
• Extra large (two lines per screen)
When you change the font size, that change applies to all files in AlphaWord
Plus. You can’t set different font sizes for different files. If, for some reason,
some of the font sizes are removed from your NEO (using AlphaSmart
Manager), AlphaWord Plus goes back to the four-line system font.
