Using the Button keys in Word

[Ray Fox]

How do you access the images of the keys in Word or Excel.

I have downloaded fonts from TI into Windows/font directory, and tried to access from the character map.

 

Thanks

[Nelson Sousa]

Did you copy the font file to c:\windows\fonts?

Usually the character map will let you choose which font to use. By
default it's usually Arial, just change the font to TINspirekeys.

Thanks,

 

I've done that but still can not access some key features I know are there from opening the downloaded file, i.e. the pictures of the buttons, like click, menu, ctrl, etc.

What am I missing?

 

Thanks,

[Nelson Sousa]

Did you select the correct font on the character map dialog? It must
be TINspirekeys.

[Ray Fox]

Yes, and I see many of the items, but not the ones mentioned.

[Nelson Sousa]

weird. They should be there... I never had any trouble finding the
correct keys, although some of them don't appear on the most intuitive
places. Remember to scroll all the way down to the last characters,
those symbols could be buried somewhere near the bottom.


Cheers,
Nelson

[Ray Fox]

It seems I had to reboot for the  TI-Nspirekeyfonts to appear!!

After that, problem solved.

Should have figured!

 

Thanks,

Ray

 

BTW: Like your video Bryson.

Hope to see some of you Saturday at MTSU.

Does anyone know how to get the buttons to work on word for Mac? I
can get them as a font, but not as a symbol to insert as I can on a PC
version of Word.

Thanks,
Dan

There are a couple of ways.
(1) Use the "Character Viewer" and drag & drop.
(2) Use the Insert Symbol menu item, and type in "TINspireKeys" into
the font field.

There are a few more details I can add to make it a bit easier, and
I'll make a short video - posted soon.

Hi everyone - does anyone know if there is a way to view all equations, sort of like the y= options on the 84's?  My students are creating holiday images with conic sections in parametric mode and I would like to print their equations along with their images, but I can only see 2 equations at a time and some of them have more than 40 equations in their designs.  I do not plan to print that many pages.

Thanks

40 equations? Wow!

One possibility is adding labels to the graphs (the label of a graph
is the equation), but at most you can have 3 or 4 on screen at the
same time. Otherwise it would be quite confusing. You can display all
of them, but I don't think you'd like the result.

[Andy Kemp]

As you are planning on printing them - the best thing would be to transfer them to the computer then open them in the software version - in 'normal' view you can display 10 equations at a go...

[Theresa Rice]

I'll try that - thanks for the suggestions.

You could have the students copy and paste the equations into a spreadsheet,
but printing is not what we want yet. It only prints the screen. But you
could copy into another spreadsheet program, like Excel, and print from
there.

Teachers who do this activity are more interested in the final outcome which
now can be a combination of functions, scatter plots, parametric, sequences
and polars all in one picture. Wow.

And to find out which function is which piece of the picture, simply hover
your mouse over that part and the function definition will appear without
messing up the picture.

See www.tomreardon.com for some cool graphics.

Thanks John - I might try the spreadsheet. I understand how to see the
equations on the screen, but it is nasty because the students have so much
work there. I want to display their work in the display case in the hallway
and the idea is that this is not just an "etch a sketch" activity but a real
math project. I did this last year with the 84's and displayed all the
equations with the graphs and was amazed at the interest this generated in
the student body. Random kids were coming into my classroom to ask how they
could do the same thing.
