Working with problems Like a TI-Nspire™ document, a PublishView™ document consists of one or more problems. Problems are used to control the layout of a PublishView™ document so that you can isolate variables. When variables with the same name are used in multiple problems, variables can have different values. To add problems to PublishView™ documents, open the Sheet context menu or use the options on the Insert menu in the Documents workspace. When adding problems, keep the following guidelines in mind: • By default, a new PublishView™ document contains one problem. • You can insert a problem after any existing problem. • You cannot insert a problem in the middle of an existing problem. • A new problem break is always inserted after the selected problem. • Inserting a problem break adds empty space below the break. • Any object between two problem breaks is part of the problem above the break. • The last problem includes all sheets and objects below the last problem break. • Problem breaks are not relative to any object, which lets you move objects within a problem without affecting the problem break location. Adding a problem To add a problem to an open PublishView™ document: 1. Right-click anywhere on the sheet, then select Insert > Problem. The problem is added to the document below any existing problems. The problem break provides a visible divider between problems. 2. To name the problem, highlight the default text, type a name, then click outside the text box to save the name. The problem break is saved. If a document has multiple problems, use the scroll bar on the right side of the document to move up and down through the problems. 198 Working with PublishView™ documents
