TI CellSheet Converter

The TI CellSheet Converter software and Excel plug-in give you two quick and easy ways to
convert your spreadsheets into a format that is compatible with the TI CellSheet application on your
TI handheld devices.

You can also use the TI CellSheet Converter software to convert spreadsheets from one TI device
format into another device format (e.g., TI-83 Plus into TI-92 Plus) or to convert a file in a device
format into Excel or tab delimited format.

Convert and Send to Connected TI Device

The TI CellSheet™ Converter software gives you the option to convert your files and send the
converted files directly to the attached TI device, instead of saving the converted files to the
computer or network. Be sure the device is turned on and connected to your computer before
starting this process. Also, be sure the file on the device is not open. The Send to Device function
does not save the converted file on your computer.

To convert files and send to device

1. Start the TI CellSheet Converter software.

2. To add files to convert, click File > Add > From File or File > Add > From Device.

3. If you want to save the converted file as a different name than the name displayed in the
Save Name column, you can change the Save Name.

4. Select the Save file format for the converted file.
