Converting Documents

You can convert PublishView™ documents (.tnsp files) to TI-Nspire™ documents (.tns files) for display on handhelds. You can also convert TI-Nspire™ documents to PublishView™ documents.

Converting a document creates a new document—the original document remains intact and is not linked to the new document. If you make changes to one document, the changes are not reflected in the other document.

Converting PublishView™ Documents to TI-Nspire™ Documents

You cannot open a PublishView™ document (.tnsp file) on a handheld. However, you can convert the PublishView™ document to a TI-Nspire™ document that can be transferred to and opened on a handheld. When you convert a PublishView™ document to a TI-Nspire™ document:

• Only the TI-Nspire™ applications become part of the TI-Nspire™ document.
• PublishView™ objects such as text boxes, images, hyperlinks and videos are not converted.
• Text contained in PublishView™ text boxes is not converted; however, text in a TI-Nspire™ Notes application is converted.
• If images are contained in a TI-Nspire™ application, they are converted; however, images contained in PublishView™ objects are not converted.

Complete the following steps to convert a PublishView™ document (.tnsp file) to a TI-Nspire™ document (.tns file).

1. Open the PublishView™ document to be converted.
2. Click File > Convert to > TI-Nspire™ Document.
• The new TI-Nspire™ document opens in the Documents Workspace.
• All supported TI-Nspire™ applications are part of the new TI-Nspire™ document.
• Starting from top to bottom, and then left to right, the layout of the TI-Nspire™ document is based on the order of the TI-Nspire™ applications in the PublishView™ document.
- Every TI-Nspire™ application in a PublishView™ document will appear as a page in the converted TI-Nspire™ document. The order of the pages in the TI-Nspire™ document is based on the layout of the TI-Nspire™ applications in the PublishView™ document.
- If two or more problems are at the same level, the order is left to right.
• Problem breaks are maintained.
• The new TI-Nspire™ document is not linked to the PublishView™ document.
3. When work in the document is complete, click to save the document in the current folder.

—or—

Click File > Save As to save the document in a different folder.

Note: If the document has never been saved, both the Save and Save as options allow saving in a different folder.

Note: You can also use the Save as option to convert a PublishView™ document to a TI-Nspire™ document.

Note: If you try to convert a PublishView™ document that does not contain TI-Nspire™ pages or applications, an error message is displayed.

Converting TI-Nspire™ Documents to PublishView™ Documents

You can convert existing TI-Nspire™ documents to PublishView™ documents, which enables you to take advantage of the richer layout and editing features for printing, generating student reports, creating worksheets and assessments and publishing documents to a website or blog.

Complete the following steps to convert a TI-Nspire™ document to a PublishView™ document:

1. Open the TI-Nspire™ document you want to convert.
2. Click File > Convert to > PublishView™ Document.
• The new PublishView™ document opens in the Documents Workspace.
• By default, there are six objects per page.
• When converted, each problem from the TI-Nspire™ document will start a new sheet in the PublishView™ document.
• Problem breaks are maintained.
3. When work in the document is complete, click to save the document in the current folder.
