Merging two documents

[diane....@gmail.com]

I am presenting this afternoon and want to merge two of my Nspire
documents. Is there a quick way to do this or should I just send out
two files?

The only way I am aware of to combine two TNS files is to open them both and copy and paste the pages from one file into the second (which I think has to be done a page at a time...)

Dear Diane Broberg,

I would do the same thing as Andy Kemp does. It seems very slow and
tedious but I don't know any faster way.

The only thing you have to watch out for is that there might be a
defined variable, program, or function that is not in a list. If you
copy and paste that page onto another document, that defined variable,
function, or program will no longer be there, even though you pasted
the page. So what I do, in terms of variables, is have a calculator
page open, from the original document. Then I would recall the
definition of variable, by pressing [Menu][1][2], and then navigating
to the variables. After every variable is defined on the calculator
page, I would also copy that page and paste it onto the other
document. Then I will redefine every variable from that calculator
page on that other document so all of the variables are then
transfered. Hopefully my explainations were clear...

Here is a simplified step-by-step way:
01. insert a new page
02. add a calculator
03. press [Menu][1][2]
04. recall the definition of the variable or program or function
06. press enter
07. continue the process from steps 03 to 06 until all variables
programs and functions are redefined
08. copy the page
09. paste the page on the other document
10. define the variables by executing the definitions you have just
created

Tadaaaaaaa! Hopefully, that helped...


Sincerely,
-TJ

another thing to keep in mind is when variables are linked in multiple
pages. For example, you have a measurement stored as a variable in a
G&G page and you use it in a L&S page. Sometimes you get an error when
pasting the second page (it will tell you that you're trying to paste
an application with variables already in use).

In these cases you can try two things:
1. Try to paste the pages in reverse order (some apps are more
tolerant to existing variables than others;
2. First paste those apps into 1 single page in split screen; then
copy the entire page and paste it into the new document.

After completing the process it's very important to check that all
variables are still well linked, as sometimes G&G objects will
"forget" they're linked to a variable and you lose functionality.
