Chapter 24: File Creation and Display in Documents Workspace 273

Do you want to copy more than one page of a document? Consider copying
and pasting an entire problem. The steps are similar, but in Step 1, click the
name/number of the problem that you would like to copy (located directly
above the first page of any problem in the Page Sorter view).

Using the virtual keypad


The third tab in the Documents Toolbox is the TI-SmartView™ Emulator (or
what I refer to as the virtual keypad). You have a number of different ways
to display the keypad (nine in TI-Nspire Student Software). Using the drop-
down menu near the top of the keypad, you can choose which calculator to
display: TI-Nspire CX, TI-Nspire with Touchpad, or TI-Nspire with Clickpad.
In addition, each keypad can be displayed in these three views: Normal, High
Contrast, and Outline. See Figure 24-2.

Why would you want to use the keypad when all the tools are easily acces-
sible? You have at least two reasons. If you learned TI-Nspire on the hand-
held, sometimes it is easier to find the command/symbol you are looking for
by typing it on the keypad. Because I know it so well, I often choose to use
it to access items that are a bit tricky to find (or if I don’t have the patience
to try to find them). Consider, for example, the Store Variable operator (→).
To access this symbol on the virtual keypad, just click /h. To find this
symbol without using the virtual keypad, choose Utilities➪Symbols to open
the Symbols palette. Scroll down to find the Store Variable operator and
press Enter to paste it into your application.
