All About AlphaWord Plus

25

AlphaWord Plus makes use of workspaces—eight of them—one for 
each 

 key along the top of keyboard. 

In AlphaWord Plus, you’re always in one of the eight workspaces, 
which you use for your work in progress. When you press one of the 

 keys in AlphaWord Plus, the associated file immediately opens. If 

there is no file associated with the file key you pressed, then you have 
a blank space in which to create a new file. 

These workspaces give you instant access to your text—either text 
you’ve just typed, or a file you worked on before that you’ve named. 
By simply pressing the 

 keys, you switch instantly between 

whatever files or text are loaded into the workspaces.

Just because you have eight workspaces doesn’t mean you’re limited 
to eight files only. You can name your files, move them out of a 
workspace, then swap them back in when you’re ready to work on 
them again. 

The first time you start up AlphaWord Plus, it places you in File 1 (the 
workspace associated with the 

 key). After that first time, the last 

file that you used opens whenever you start AlphaWord Plus. 

In AlphaWord Plus, press the 

 keys until you find an empty 

workspace and begin typing.

There is no need to save your work, because Neo saves each 
character as you type it. (You can, however, “save” your file in order to 
give it a name. See “Formatting text” on page 28 for more 
information.)
