About the SmartApplet Settings Available in NEO Manager

AlphaWord Plus has its own settings that you can control through NEO
Manager:

Disable This
SmartApplet
If checked, this setting prevents the user from using
AlphaWord Plus. See page 190.
Passwords Enabled Enables the use of individual file passwords in
AlphaWord Plus. See page 72. When teachers share a
SmartOption Mobile Lab, it is helpful to enable file
passwords and teach students to password-protect
their files. When you first enable passwords, all file
passwords are set to write. To set unique file
passwords, see page 73.
File Passwords Specifies a common password for all AlphaWord Plus
files. See page 73.
Maximum File Size
(in characters)
Set by default to 51,200 characters (about 25 pages).
The highest maximum file size allowed is 102,400
characters (about 50 pages). For more about size
limits and checking file sizes, see page 47. When
working with large files, you might notice some
performance issues, depending on the number of
SmartApplets on the NEO, the number of files, the
size of files, and data on the NEO.
Minimum File Size
(in characters)
Set by default to 512 characters (approximately a
quarter of a page). The minimum size limit ensures
that a certain amount of space is reserved on the NEO
for each file. For more about size limits and checking
file sizes, see page 47.
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 176.
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.
