2.On the eActivity window, insert the text, expressions, application data, and other data you want to include in the eActivity. For details, see “Inserting Data into an eActivity” below.

3.After the eActivity is the way you want, tap [File] and then [Save].

4.On the dialog box that appears, enter a file name and then tap [Save] to save the eActivity.

Tip: eActivity files are stored in a memory area that is separate from that used for storing other types of data (variable data, Geometry data, Spreadsheet data, etc.). Because of this, you cannot access eActivity files data using the Variable Manager. You have to use the eActivity application to perform eActivity file operations.

Inserting Data into an eActivity

The following describes the four types of data you can insert into an eActivity.

Text rowA text row can be

used to insert text data and mathematical expression text in natural format. You can also bold the text in a text row.

Calculation row

Use the calculation row to insert any of the calculation operations that are available in the Main application.

Application data strip

The application data strip lets you display a window from a ClassPad application (Main, Graph & Table, Geometry, etc.) and use the window to create data, which is inserted into the eActivity.

Geometry Link rowUse this row to insert data that is linked with a Geometry window figure.
uTo insert a text row

1.On the eActivity window toolbar, check to make sure that u is displayed. If it isn’t, tap < to toggle it to u.

•u indicates the Text Input mode is selected.

•If the cursor is located in a line that already contains input data, place the cursor at the end of the line, tap [Insert] and then [Text Row]. This inserts a text row on the next line.

2.Use the soft keyboard or keypad keys to input the text you want.•Pressing Ewill advance you to the next line without displaying results.

•Standard text (words separated by spaces) is automatically wrapped to the next line as required. A continuous text or number string (one that does not include any spaces) will not be wrapped to the next line if it does not fit within the width of the window.

•Note that any mathematical expressions or commands you input into a text row are treated as text. They are not executed.

Tip

•Text can be changed to bold by dragging to select it and then tapping B. However, note that you cannot bold numeric expressions of a natural display expression that you input with the template input mode (page 22).

•You can select a range of characters with the left and right cursor keys. Simply press the ClassPad fkey and then press e or d. Each press of the cursor key will select (highlight) the next character in the applicable direction.
