Defining settings
File sizes
In AlphaWord Plus, you can set minimum and maximum file sizes. A
maximum file size lets you have more text in your files. A minimum
file size ensures that some amount of space is kept in reserve for
workspace files.
You can change the file size to allow for longer file lengths, which is
helpful if your documents tend to run longer. Be aware, however, that
the total amount of space available on a device remains the same.
(Keep in mind too that additional SmartApplets and data files—such
as AlphaQuiz, quizzes, and student responses—also take up space
on a device and can affect the amount of space left for AlphaWord
Plus files.)
For example, if you change the maximum file size setting to 82,000
(roughly 40 pages), and the minimum file size to 2,000 (about a
page), you might have only a handful of files that can reach full
capacity. Other files are managed so that the minimum amount of
space is reserved.
The maximum file size that you can set is 102,400 characters
(50 pages or so); the minimum is 512 characters (about one quarter
of a page.) When working with large files, you might notice some
performance issues, depending on each device’s particular setup
