Using Linked Files
Each AlphaWord Plus file can have a linked file, that is, a file connected to the
main file.
A linked file is a place to store information related to a file. For example, you
could create a linked file with an outline of what you plan to write, a checklist
of tasks, vocabulary words, or rubric information for an assignment. Teachers
can use them to include guidelines for writing assignments.
A linked file is read-only. You can’t create or edit linked files in AlphaWord
Plus. You create them on your computer by enclosing the text within <form>
tags, and then send them to NEOs using NEO Manager (see page 42).
On your NEO, you can press ctrl-L to switch between the file you can write in
and the linked file.
Here’s an example of a simple linked file that lists vocabulary words. In this
example, the linked file includes the vocabulary words and instructions for an
assignment, and the student can write sentences with the vocabulary words in
the main file.
