Can you help a complete newbie?

Hello!

I am a dedicated fan of my TI 89 Titanium.
I would very much like to be able to view pictures of graphs and such that I have saved as bitmap and jpeg files, on the calc.

I have tried almost every program avaliable, but no luch. I have dowloaded the WordRider and it works on the PC, but I am not sure what to do next.

Can you give me a point by point for dummies version, please?

I really want to have these pictures ready for an exam on tuesday, since it is perfectly legal and a really big help for me!

Hi Hebe, thanks for selecting WordRider .
You have to install some of viewer into calc (Hibview or TxtRider or uView) to view WordRider files (89t). See flash tutorials in the documentation section [wordrider.net]. There are guides for newbies how to do that.
Ask again if you meet with some problem.

Regards
Vity

Thank you for your reply.

I have managed to install txtrider as well as save the files as .89
But when I 2nVarlink the txtrider in home, I get the message done.
What have I done wrong?

I am not sure.
Try to install PreOS, i guess it will help you. It will make some intern changes.

-------------------------------------

Yup, had not marked the preos and installed it, just transferred it. Newbie mistake, I guess...

But, the pictures I have transferred wont show? The textrider just posts a questionmark. Any ideas?

Sorry to be such a nuicance..

Yeah, it's common issue. The reason is quite simple. Ti-89 doesn't support multi-level folders so the picture's file path (which is saved into 89t - text file) can contain only 1 folder name (otherwise it wouldn't be readable in the calc).

This is how saving of links to pictures works:
eg.: inserted picture lies at c:\mydocs\physics\img\mypic.89i
Text file is saved by WordRider into c:\mydocs\mydoc.89t - this file will contain a relative path to the picture as '/physics/mypic.89i'. WordRider will search also for this file in the text file's folder(c:\mydoc\mypic.89i) if that picture is not found at its relative path.
I recommend you to set your pictures to the same folder (which you use also for main document) or just easily create a special folder for them with max 1 tree deep:
eg:
c:\mydocs\physics\mydoc.89t
c:\mydocs\physics\img\mypic.89i

Then TxtRider will be able to find all linked pictures properly.

Thanks a million!! Got it to work properly now, and it`s just great!!!
