Much of this guide describes sending your text to a word processing 
application on your computer, but you can send text to any 
application that accepts text:

•

Multimedia text fields

•

Text tools in a page layout or graphics application

•

Email applications

•

Spreadsheets

Wherever you would normally type text in your application, you can 
easily send text from Neo by placing your cursor at the appropriate 
location in your application and pressing 

.

Spreadsheets keep track of information in columns and rows. On 
Neo, you might set up some of your data in AlphaWord Plus using 
tabs and returns to eventually transfer into a spreadsheet application 
on your computer.

You can transfer text directly into a spreadsheet without formatting 
problems if you beam it. However, for some spreadsheet 
applications, transferring the text (if it contains tabs and carriage 
returns) using a USB cable doesn’t produce the desired results. If 
your text doesn’t appear in columns as you’d expect, try sending the 
text to a word processing application first. Then select the text in the 
word processing application, copy it, and paste it into your 
spreadsheet file. The paste operation usually produces more 
desirable results.

In general, if you’re having formatting problems with text 

you’ve sent from your Neo, try sending it first to a word
