Working with documents
The TI-Nspire™ handheld lets you save your work in documents that you can share with other handheld users and those using the desktop software. In fact, all of the work you do with the TI-Nspire handheld is contained in one or more documents. The three main components involved in organizing and saving work on your handheld are:
- Documents
- Page Sorter
- My Documents
Documents
The TI-Nspire document model is simple and easy to use when you understand its structure:
- Each document is divided into one or more problems.
- Each problem contains one or more pages.
- Each page can be divided into as many as four work areas.
- Each work area can contain any of the TI-Nspire math and science learning technology applications (Calculator, Graphs & Geometry, Lists & Spreadsheet, Data & Statistics and Notes).
Page Sorter
Although the handheld typically displays the pages in your document one at a time, the Page Sorter lets you see all of the problems in your document and all pages within each problem in thumbnail format. You can use the Page Sorter to rearrange and delete pages, and copy a page from one problem and paste it in another.
My Documents
My Documents is a file manager where you store and organize your documents. Documents are stored in folders.
Creating documents
There are two methods for creating a document. You can create a blank document and then add applications and apply a layout. Or if no document is currently open, you can create a document containing a single application.
Creating a blank document
Press 
to open a document from the home menu, or use the shortcut keys.
Shortcut keys:
A new document opens and displays a blank page with the Add Application menu.
Note: The tab at the top left of the screen indicates that this is the first page of the first problem.
