You can cut, copy, and paste content within Maple documents, and from other sources.

To copy an expression, or part of an expression, to another location on the document:

If you paste into a math input region, Maple interprets all the pasted content as input. If you paste into a text region, Maple interprets all the pasted content as text. However, note that 2-D Math retains its format in both input and text regions.

When you copy and paste to another application, in general, Maple retains the original structure.

The Format→Character menu provides access to the following quick formatting features: Bold, Italic, Underline, Superscript, Subscript, Font Color, and Highlight Color.

To modify text:

Alternatively, use the context bar icons. For example, to apply a color to the parameters "f, x=x0..x1":

For font and highlight colors, you can select from Swatches, a color wheel, RGB values, or choose a color using the eye dropper tool. See Figure 7.1.

In this example, choose a dark purple color, as in the help pages.

To format this text as bold, click the Bold toolbar icon, . Also, select the text "Calling Sequence" and format as bold.

Result: For more information, refer to the paragraphmenu help page.

Maple has predefined styles for characters and paragraphs. A style is a set of formatting characteristics that you can apply to text in your document to  change the appearance of that text. When you apply a style, you apply a group of formats in one action.

Applying Character Styles

By using the drop-down list in the document context bar, you can apply: •  Existing Maple character styles. •  New styles that you have created through the Style Management (Figure 7.4) and Character Style (Figure 7.5) dialogs.   To apply a character style to text in your document: 1.  Select the text to modify. 2.  In the styles drop-down list in the context bar of your document, select an appropriate character style. All character styles are preceded by the letter C. The selected text now reflects the attributes of the character style you have chosen. 3.  (Optional) If necessary, you can remove this style. From the Edit menu, select Undo.

Creating and Modifying Character Styles

You can create custom character styles to apply to text, or change existing character styles. New styles are automatically added to the styles drop-down list in the context bar of your document. 1.  From the Format menu, select Styles. The Style Management dialog opens. See Figure 7.4. To create a character style: •  Click Create Character Style. The Character Style dialog opens. See Figure 7.5. •  In the first row of the dialog, enter a style name in the blank text region. To modify a character style: •  From the style list, select the character style to modify.  Recall that all character styles are preceded by the letter C, while paragraph styles are preceded by the letter P. •  Click Modify. The Character Style dialog opens with the current attributes displayed. See Figure 7.5. For either action, continue: 2.  Select the properties for the new character style, such as font, size, attributes, and color.  In the font attributes, the Superscript and Subscript check boxes are mutually exclusive. When you select one of the two check boxes, the other is disabled. You must clear one before selecting the other. Note: A preview of the style is displayed in the last row of the Character Style dialog. 3.  To save the style, click OK or to abandon, click Cancel. If you have modified a style, all text in your document that uses the altered style is updated to reflect the changes. Figure 7.5: Defining a Character Style   For example, in the pasted text, suppose we want to create a character style for the bold, purple parameter. •  From the Format menu, select Styles, then click Create Character Style. •  Enter the style name, "Placeholder", and then select the character attributes. In this case, click the Bold check box. Then click the Color button and choose a dark purple. Click OK to create the character style. Now you can apply the style to any text. Under Calling Sequences, select each list of parameters inside the command. To apply the style, from the Styles drop-down menu in the toolbar, select Parameter. Result:

Applying Paragraph Styles

By using the drop-down list in the document context bar, you can apply: •  Existing Maple paragraph styles. •  New styles that you have created through the Style Management (Figure 7.4) and Defining a Paragraph Style (Figure 7.6) dialogs.   To apply a Maple paragraph style to text in your document: 1.  Select the text to modify. 2.  In the styles drop-down list in the context bar of your document, select an appropriate paragraph style. All Maple paragraph styles are preceded by the letter P. The selected text now reflects the attributes of the paragraph style you have chosen. For example, to format the title of the pasted text as a title, first select the line: "plot - create a two-dimensional plot". In the Styles drop-down, select Title. Result: 3.  (Optional) If necessary, you can remove this style. From the Edit menu, select Undo.

Creating and Modifying Paragraph Styles

You can create custom paragraph styles to apply to text, or change existing paragraph styles. New styles are automatically added to the styles drop-down list in the context bar of your document. 1.  From the Format menu, select Styles. The Style Management dialog opens. See Figure 7.4. To create a paragraph style:  •  Click Create Paragraph Style. The Paragraph Style dialog opens. See Figure 7.6. •  In the first row of the dialog, enter a style name in the blank text field. To modify a paragraph style: •  Select a paragraph style to modify.  Recall that all paragraph styles are preceded by the letter P. •  Click Modify. The Paragraph Style dialog opens with the current attributes displayed. For either action, continue: 4.  In the Units drop-down menu, select the units used to determine spacing and indentation. Select from inches (in), centimeters (cm), or points (pt). 5.  Select the properties to use for this paragraph style, such as Spacing, Indent, Alignment, Bullets and Numbering, Page Break Before, and Linebreak. 6.  To add or modify a font style, click Font. The Character Style dialog opens. For detailed instructions, see Creating and Modifying Character Styles. 7.  To save the style, click OK, or to abandon, click Cancel. If you are modifying an existing style, all text in your document that uses the altered style is updated to reflect the changes. Figure 7.6: Defining a Paragraph Style

	Style Set Management: Saving Styles for Future Use
	You can use the style set of a particular document as the default style for all documents. Figure 7.7: Style Set Management Dialog   For information on creating and managing style sets, see the worksheet/documenting/styles help page.

You can organize your document into sections, either before or after the text has been entered.

Using the Insert Menu to Add Sections

1.  Place the cursor in the paragraph or execution group above the location at which you want to insert a new section. •  If the cursor is inside a section, Maple inserts the new section after the current section. •  If the cursor is in an execution group, Maple inserts the new section after the execution group. 2.  From the Insert menu, select Section. An arrow marks the start of the section. 3.  Move the cursor to the text area beside the arrow. Enter the section heading. 4.  Move the cursor to the body of the section.  Enter the content.

Tips for Adding Sections and Subsections

•  If you are in a section and select Insert→Section, a subsection is created. •  To insert a subsection immediately after the current subsection, use Edit→Split or Join→Split Section.  The newly created section is at the same indentation level as the existing section. •  To outdent, use Edit→Remove Section.  This decreases the indentation of a worksheet element by one level by removing one subsection that encloses the worksheet element.

Using the Indent and Outdent Toolbar Icons

You can shift sections to create or remove subsections. Enclose the selection in a section or subsection Outdent the selection to the next section level, if possible. For example, to create two sections containing the two categories of information in the pasted text: 1.  Select "Parameters" and all of the items under it. 2.  Click the Indent toolbar item. 3.  Cut and paste "Parameters" from inside the section to its title. 4.  Similarly, create a section with the title "Calling Sequence", containing the items under that heading. Result: Note: The section titles are automatically formatted as section titles, but you can change the formatting through the Paragraph Style dialog.

You can add headers and footers to your document that will appear at the top and bottom of each page when you print the document.

To add or edit headers and footers:

From the Insert menu, select Header Footer. The Header Footer dialog appears. See Figure 7.8.

The available elements include the current date, page number, number of pages, an image, the filename, or any plain text. These elements can be placed in the left or right corner or the center of the page.

You can choose one of the predefined header or footer styles in the Predefined Header and Footer tab, or create your own by clicking the Custom Header or Custom Footer tab.

For more information on header and footer options, refer to the headerfooter help page.

You can hide document elements of a specific type so that they are not visible. This does not delete them, but hides them from view. Hidden elements are not printed or exported, but they can be copied and pasted.

In a document, use the Show Contents dialog to hide all spreadsheets, input, output, or graphics, plus markers for section boundaries, execution group boundaries, hidden table borders on mouse pointer roll over, and annotations. The dialog is accessed from the View→Show/Hide Contents menu.

Using the Show Contents Dialog

A check mark beside the item indicates that all document elements of that type are displayed for the current document. See Figure 7.9. Figure 7.9: Show Contents Dialog   1.  From the View menu, select Show/Hide Contents. The Show Contents dialog opens with all items selected for display. 2.  Clear the check box associated with the document components or markers to hide them. Note: By clearing the Input check box, Maple Input (1-D Math) and 2-D Math input are hidden. However, this will not hide Text input in Document mode. Clearing the Graphics check box ensures that a plot, an image, or the Canvas inserted in the document by using the Insert menu option is also hidden.

Command Output Versus Inserted Content

Output is considered an element that results from executing a command. Inserted components are not considered output. Consider the following examples. The plot resulting from executing the plot(sin) command is considered output. •  To show a plot from the plot(sin) command, select both the Output and Graphics check boxes in the Show Contents dialog.   Inserted images and the Canvas are not considered output. As such, they are not hidden if you clear the Output check box. •  To hide an inserted image or canvas, clear the Graphics check box in the Show Contents dialog.

The Tab key has a few different uses:

Control the behavior of the Tab key using the Tab Navigation feature in the Format menu.  For more information, refer to the tabkey help page.

With document blocks, you can create documents that present text and math in formats similar to those found in business and education documents.

In a document block, an input prompt or execution group is not displayed.

By hiding Maple input such that only text and results are visible, you create a document with better presentation flow. Before using document blocks, it is recommended that you display Markers. A vertical bar is displayed along the left pane of the document. Icons representing document blocks are displayed in this vertical bar next to associated content.

To activate Markers:

For further details on document blocks, see Document Blocks in Chapter 1.

Working with Document Blocks

In document mode, each time you press Enter, a new document block appears. Documents consist of a series of document blocks. 1.  Create a new document block after the last section of the pasted example, either by pressing Enter, or by selecting, from the Edit→Document Blocks menu, Create Document Block. 2.  Enter text and an expression to evaluate. For example, enter "Plot the expression $\sin \left(x\right)$ and its derivative, $\frac{\ⅆ}{\ⅆ x} \sin \left(x\right)$". For detailed instructions on entering this phrase, see Example 6 - Enter Text and 2-D Math in the Same Line Using Toolbar Icons in Chapter 1. 3.  Select the expression to display the context panel. 4.  From the context panel, click Evaluate and Display Inline. The expression is evaluated. 5.  Check that the input mode is Text, then enter the rest of the sentence: ", in the same plot."  See Figure 7.10.   Before After Figure 7.10: Working with Document Blocks   Result:

	Inline Document Output
	Document blocks can display content inline, that is, text, input, and output in one line as presented in business and education documents. To display content inline: 1.  Place the cursor in the document block. 2.  From the Edit→Document Blocks menu, select Inline Document Output.

View Document Code

To view the contents, that is, all code and expanded execution groups within a document block, you must expand the document block. 1.  Place the cursor in the document block region. 2.  From the Edit→Document Blocks menu, select Show Command. 3.  To hide code again, clear the check box beside Show Command. Expand an Execution Group within a Document Block An execution group is a grouping of Maple input with its corresponding Maple output. It is distinguished by a large square bracket at the left called a group boundary. As document blocks can contain many execution groups, you can select to expand an execution group within a document block. 1.  Place the cursor near the end of the document block region. 2.  From the Edit→Document Blocks menu, select Show Execution Group. 3.  To hide the group, clear the check box beside Show Execution Group. Switch between Input and Output 1.  Place the cursor in the document block region. 2.  From the Edit→Document Blocks menu, select Toggle Input/Output Display. Input from any executable math or commands is displayed in one instance, or only output is displayed.

You can control typesetting and 2-D Math equation parsing options in the Standard Worksheet interface. Extended typesetting uses a customizable set of rules for displaying expressions.

The rule-based typesetting functionality is available when the Typesetting level is set to Extended (the default).  You can set the typesetting level under Tools→Options→Display tab). This parsing functionality applies to 2-D Math editing (Math mode) and output.

For example, you can change the display of derivatives to suit the content and audience of your document.

To specify rules, use the Typesetting Rule Assistant.

For more information, see the Typesetting, TypesettingRuleAssist, and OptionsDialogDisplay help pages.

The Autoexecute feature allows you to designate regions of a document for automatic execution. These regions are executed when the document opens or when the restart command is executed. This is useful when sharing documents. Important commands can be executed as soon as the user opens your document. The user is not required to execute all commands.

Setting the Auto-Execute Feature

1.  Select the region to be automatically executed when the document opens. 2.  From the Evaluate menu, select Set Selection to Autoexecute. Regions set to Autoexecute are denoted by exclamation mark symbols in the Markers region (View → Markers),   . For example, to display a plot in your document without saving the plot, making your document use less memory, you can set a plot command to autoexecute. 1.  After the plot instruction, enter a Maple prompt (Insert → Execution Group → After Cursor). 2.  Enter the plot command: $\mathrm{plot}\left(\left[\sin \left(x\right)\,\int \sin \left(x\right) \ⅆx\right]\right)$ and press Enter to execute. 3.  Select the plot, then select Evaluate → Remove Output from Selection. 4.  Place the cursor in the plot command, then select Evaluate → Set Selection to Autoexecute. 5.  Save and close the document; on reopening, the command is re-executed. Result:

	Removing the Auto-Execute Setting
	To remove the setting in a region: 1.  Select the region. 2.  From the Evaluate menu, select Clear Selection from Autoexecute. To remove all autoexecuted regions from a document: •  From the Evaluate menu, select Clear All Autoexecute.

	Repeating Auto-Execution
	To execute all marked groups: •  From the Evaluate menu, select Repeat Autoexecute.

	Security Levels
	By default, Maple prompts the user before automatically executing the document.    To set security levels for the autoexecute feature, use the Security tab in the Options dialog. For details, refer to the OptionsDialogSecurity help page.

To create a table:

The default properties for the table include visible borders and auto-adjustment to 100% of the document width. These options, as well as the table dimensions, can be modified after table creation.

Create a table with 4 rows and 2 columns at the end of your document. In document mode, the input mode is set to Math by default; in worksheet mode, the default is Text mode.

Any content that can be placed into a document can also be placed into a table cell, including other sections and tables. Table cells can contain a mix of:

Enter a heading in both columns of the first row, in 2-D Math. You can use any text formatting features within each cell; for example, bold and center the headings.

Use the Tab key to move to the next cell. Ensure that Format → Tab Navigation is selected.

Tab between the cells of the table and enter the following expressions in the first column. For each function, from the context panel, select Differentiate → With respect to → x. Cut and paste the resulting expression into the second column.

The number of rows and columns in a table are modified using the Insert and Delete submenus in the Table menu or by using the Cut and Copy/Paste tools. The Table menu is found under the Format menu.  The same table menu options are available in the Context Panel when the cursor resides in a table.
                

Inserting Rows and Columns

Row and column insertion is relative to the table cell that currently contains the cursor. If the document has an active selection, insertion is relative to the selection boundaries.

In your table, add a third column on the right to display the plots of these expressions. Add the heading, and insert a blank plot region in each cell below it, by selecting Insert → Plot → 2-D (or 3-D for the second expression). Then Ctrl-drag (Control-drag for Macintosh) each expression in the row into its plot region to display it. For details on this procedure, see Plots and Animations.

Resize the plots and table as desired.

Deleting Rows and Columns

With deleting operations using the Delete key, the Delete Table Contents dialog opens allowing you to specify the desired behavior. For example, you can delete the selected rows, or delete the contents of the selected cells. See Figure 7.11.

Pasting

Pasting a table subselection into a table may result in the creation of additional rows or columns, overwriting existing cell content, or the insertion of a subtable within the active table cell. When there is a choice, the Table Paste Mode dialog opens, allowing you to choose. See Figure 7.12.

Merging Cells

To merge adjacent cells in a table, select the cells you would like to merge. From the Table menu, select Merge Cells. You can merge cells across row or column borders. See Figure 7.13. The resulting cell must be rectangular. The contents of the individual cells in the merge operation are concatenated in execution order. See Figure 7.14. For details on cell execution order, see Execution Order Dependency.

The overall width of the table can be controlled in several ways.

The most direct way is to press the left mouse button (press mouse button, for Macintosh) while hovering over the left or right table boundary and dragging the mouse left or right. Upon release of the mouse button, the table boundary is updated. This approach can also be used to resize the relative width of table columns.

Alternatively, the size of the table can be controlled from the Table Properties dialog. The Table Properties dialog is found in the Context Panel or through the Format menu under Table and then Properties. Two sizing modes are supported.

The Table Properties dialog contains options to control the placement of page breaks when printing. You can fit a table on a single page, allow page breaks between rows, or allow page breaks within a row.

The order in which cells are executed is set in the Table Properties dialog. The following tables illustrate the effect of execution order.

Tables can be marked as editable or non-editable. The editable property for tables is independent of the document editability, though if a document is marked as non-editable, tables cannot be edited. After a table has been marked as non-editable, any content stored in the table cannot be modified. It is not possible to add any new content such as embedded components or to run computations in execution groups or document blocks. Existing interactive embedded components inside of a table will continue to work.

A table can be marked as editable or non-editable in its Table Properties using either the DocumentTools:-SetProperty command or the Context Panel. To make a table editable or non-editable using the Context Panel, in the Table properties, select or clear the Editable check box

For more practice creating and manipulating tables, try creating the following tables at the end of your document.
