Copying the Key Press History to Another Application

You can copy all or only a selected portion of the key press history to another application such as a word processor. You can copy the key graphics as they are shown in the key press history panel, or you can copy the key presses as font text characters 2 U 3.

Note: When you copy keys as font text characters, only primary key fonts paste. Second key fonts do not paste from the copy as font feature in TI-SmartView™. You can manually insert second features using the installed font. This font is installed on your computer automatically when you install the TI- SmartView™ for MathPrint™ calculators software.
