About the File Size Limits
AlphaWord Plus has minimum and maximum file size limits:
• Default minimum size: 512 characters (about a quarter of a page)
• Default maximum size: 51,200 characters (about 25 pages)
You can change these limits using the NEO Manager software; see page 188
for more information.
When an AlphaWord Plus file reaches the limit, you will see the message
shown below. You should continue in another file or send this file to your
computer as recommended.
Checking the Size and the Number of Pages Available for One File
To see how many pages you’ve written in a file and how much space you have
left, follow the steps below.
For the purposes of this estimate, a page is the amount of text that would
print on one piece of paper when the text is in the 12-point Times New Roman
font and double-spaced.
1. Press a-i. You’ll see a screen like the one below. This screen shows the
pages used and available for this file and for all files (System).
2. When you’ve finished, press any key to exit the screen.
The amount of space
available is affected
by the size of data
files for your other
SmartApplets. For example,
if you have the AlphaQuiz
SmartApplet, which needs to
reserve space for quizzes,
you will have less space
available for AlphaWord Plus
files.
You can see the file
size as a percentage
of the limit when you
view the character, word,
paragraph, and page counts.
See page 46.
