User Manual
Follow these steps to change KeyWords options in AlphaSmart Manager 2.
These steps assume that you have started the program and connected your
NEO(s) as described in the AlphaSmart Manager 2 User Manual.
1. Click the Settings tab in AlphaSmart Manager.
2. Click KeyWords
A in the list of SmartApplets on the left as shown.
3. Make changes as needed to the settings listed on the right. (Make sure
the box is checked for each setting you’re changing. As you change
settings, notice that the KeyWords box is automatically checked on the
left.)
Turn Home Row
confirmation ON
Determines whether KeyWords requires students to
type the home row keys at the beginning of each
accuracy and speed builder activity and the beginning
of each test. This helps get students used to placing
their hands on the home row. Click Yes or No.
You can turn this requirement
on or off in the teacher options
in KeyWords. (See page 6-17.)
Set spaces between
sentences
Determines whether students are required to type one
space or two between sentences. Click 1 or 2.
You can change the spaces
required between sentences in
the teacher options in
KeyWords. (See page 6-18.)
Setting What It Does Where to Find on the NEO
If KeyWords isn’t in
the Settings list, one
or more of the
connected NEOs doesn’t
have KeyWords installed. To
install it on all connected
NEOs, click the
SmartApplets tab, click
KeyWords in the list, and click
Add. (Once you’ve chosen to
install it, you can change the
settings.) Then, send the
SmartApplet to the NEOs (see
page 6-3).
