The Create New User page lets you create a single TypingWeb user account and specify the user's personal information and preferences. The following table describes each field in this window.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Username | The user's login username. |
| Password | The user's login password. |
| First Name | The user's first name. |
| Last Name | The user's last name. |
| The user's valid email address, in the format name@somewhere.com. | |
| Group | Select the group to assign this user to. |
| Show Hidden Characters | Select 'Yes' to have the user see hidden characters while they type. ¶ is placed at the end of lines where ENTER must be pressed, and a '·' (raised dot) replaces the space character. This can act as a visual aid while typing. |
| Spaces Between Sentences | Choose how many spaces you wish to have after an end of line punctuation, and before the next sentence begins. Single spacing is suggested. |
| Play Sounds | Select Yes to generate typewriter sounds while typing. (Note: this feature works only with Internet Explorer. Some slower computers may have problems. ) |
| Small Fonts | If the user's exercises are cut off at the bottom, their font settings are higher than normal. Select Yes to correct this problem. |
| Allow Backspace Key | Select Yes if the Backspace key can delete typing errors. Deleting errors is optional - it will not help accuracy scores. |
| Keyboard Layout | TypingWeb contains helpful on-screen keyboards in Beginner Lessons and the Keys Section. By selecting your keyboard layout, you ensure that TypingWeb teaches you proper typing technique and finger placement. |
