Working with TI-Nspire™ Documents

All work that you create and save using TI-Nspire™ applications is stored as a

document, which you can share with others using TI-Nspire™ software and with those

using handhelds. There are two types of documents:

• TI-Nspire™ document (.tns file)

• PublishView™ document (.tnsp file)

TI-Nspire™ Documents

A TI-Nspire™ document consists of one or more problems. Each problem can contain

one or more pages. A single page is displayed in the work area. All work occurs in the

applications within pages.

Because the TI-Nspire™ software and handhelds share the same functionality, you can

transfer TI-Nspire™ documents between computers and handhelds. When you create a

document, you select one of two page sizes.

• Handheld. Size: 320 × 217 pixels. This size allows documents to be viewed on all

platforms. The content will be scaled when viewed on a tablet or larger screen.

• Computer. Size: 640 × 434 pixels. The content will not be scaled when viewed on

smaller platforms. Some content may not be visible on a handheld device.

You can convert a document from one page size to the other anytime.

PublishView™ Documents

PublishView™ documents can be printed on a standard piece of paper or published to a

website or blog. PublishView™ documents can include formatted text, images, and

hyperlinks as well as all TI-Nspire™ applications.

For more information, see Working with PublishView™ Documents.

Creating a New TI-Nspire™ Document

When you open the software, the Documents Workspace opens with a blank document

containing one problem. You can add applications and content to this problem to

create a document.

Note: The Welcome Screen is displayed when you open the software if the "always

show this at startup" option is selected. Click an application icon to add a problem with

an active application to a new document.

To create a new document, complete the following steps:

1. On the TI-Nspire™ File menu,

• Select New TI-Nspire™ Document - Handheld Page Size.

—or—

• Select New TI-Nspire™ Document - Computer Page Size.
