2-8 Using the Interactive Menu
The [Interactive] menu includes most of the commands that are on the [Action] menu. Selecting a command on
the [Action] menu will simply input the command.
With the [Interactive] menu, you drag the stylus across existing input in the work area and then select a
command. This encloses the highlighted expression with the command and opens a dialog box if more
arguments are needed. When you select an [Interactive] menu item without highlighting an expression first, a
dialog box will open prompting you for the necessary arguments.
Tip
• Operation of the following [Interactive] menu commands is identical to the same commands on the [Action] menu. For
information about using these commands, see "2-7 Using the Action Menu".

2-9 Using the Main Application in Combination with
Other Applications
You can access the windows of other ClassPad applications from the Main application and perform copy,
paste, drag and drop, and other operations between them.
Tip
• Copying data that includes color information from another application and pasting it into the Main application will cause
the color information to be disregarded, and the pasted data will become black. This is also true when dragging data from
another application to the Main application.
• Copying data in the Main application and pasting it into another application will cause the pasted data to be displayed in
accordance with the other application's color settings. This is also true when dragging data from the Main application to
another application.
