Setting Page Size and Document Preview

When you ceate a document, you specify its page size as Handheld or Computer, depending on how you expect the document to be used. Documents of both page sizes can be opened on either platform, and you can convert the page size anytime.

• Handheld. Size: 320 × 217 pixels, fixed. Handheld documents can be viewed on all platforms. You can magnify (zoom) the content when viewing it on a tablet or larger screen.
• Computer. Size: 640 × 434 pixels, minimum. Computer documents scale up automatically to take advantage of higher resolution screens. The minimum size is 640 × 434, so some content may be clipped on handheld devices.

Note: You can view documents of either page size using Handheld or Computer preview.

 

▶ On the main TI-Nspire™ File menu, select Convert to, and then select the page size.

The software saves the current document and creates a copy that uses the requested page size.

 

1. On the application toolbar, click Document Preview, and select Handheld.

The preview changes. This does not change the document's underlying page size.

2. (Optional) Adjust the viewing magnification:
- Click the Zoom tool beneath the work area, and select a magnification value.

—or—

- Click the Zoom to Fit button to make the handheld preview adjust automatically to the window size.

 

1. On the application toolbar, click Document Preview, and select Computer.

The preview changes. This does not change the document's underlying page size.

2. (Optional) Click the Boldness tool beneath the work area, and select a value to increase or decrease the boldness of text and other items.

 

1. On the main TI-Nspire™ File menu, select Settings > Page Size Settings.
2. Select a default page size, either Handheld or Computer.

The new size applies to documents that you create (Windows®: Ctrl+C, Mac®: Cmd+C) after setting the default, including the blank document created automatically each time you open the software. Changing the default setting does not convert any currently open documents or other existing documents.

 

By default, when you open a document, it is automatically displayed using the preview that matches its page size. You can override this rule and specify a preview that you prefer.

1. On the main TI-Nspire™ File menu, select Settings > Preview Settings.
2. Select the preview that you want documents to use when you open them.
