Solution 32332: Converting PublishView™ Documents to TI-Nspire™ Documents Using the TI-Nspire Family Software.

How do I convert PublishView documents to TI-Nspire documents using the TI-Nspire family software?

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

Note: 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.

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, save the document in the current folder by clicking on the disk (save) icon.
—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.

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, save the document in the current folder either by clicking on the disk (save) icon, or by clicking File > Save As.

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