Navigating Documents

When the document opens you may see a screen similar to the one shown on the left. For the moment, please do not follow the instructions on the screen just yet! Continue working through this tutorial, which will introduce you to many of the key features of the TI-Nspire document model.

Among these key features are useful and easy ways to navigate through documents. For example, pressing /¢will take you to the next page in a document. Similarly, pressing /¡ returns you to the previous page. Pressing /£ will take you to the Page Sorter which enables you to move quickly and easily through the pages of a document.

Notice the information typically provided on the Page Sorter:
