Title: Printer-Friendly TI-BASIC Guides
Post by: Demon on February 14, 2007, 01:42:00 am
Are there any guides for TI-BASIC that are all one one page and can be printed out easier?  I tried to print out TI-Freak's BASIC tutorial and it took over an hour of work and 64 pages of printing, and a ink cartridge change to get it right -- literally.

EDIT:  Never mind, it f--ked up about around the eighth page and the text turned back white :grr:mad.gif:banghead:banghead.gif, so now I give up on it until I  can find an all-on-one-page, printable TI-BASIC guide.

I need to print these because I have friends who want to learn TI-BASIC but don't have access to a computer or a printer.

You could try copying the text, and making the font size 8 or whatever, and try printing that. That is how I did it for several tutorials that I printed off...

I tried that, and that worked okay, but the problem was the color.  I tried AutoFormatting in Word and that worked for a few pages up until around the eight page and then all the text went back white for some reason...

Select all the text and put the font black

I'd do that, except that he has some text colored to annotate things, and setting 'Automatic' won't help because it changes that text back to the default color, too.

 Try selecting all text you want to copy in your browser, open notepad and paste it there (all text make up is gone now). Finally select all Notepad text and paste that into Word.

Or you could try this http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/391/39193.html

It has 17 lessons and it is already in Word

The http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/ wiki has lots of quality TI-Basic information and the wiki actually has print capability built in. Just scroll to the bottom of each page and click on the print link. A pop-up will appear with the page content and you can change the font size and font type to what you want. If you have any questions, just ask.

Thanks.  I converted that one this morning and printed the whole thing out in only 26 pages :Ptongue.gif
