The Windows calculator can be used with this program.

The easiest way to use the Windows calculator is

to start the calculator program from its icon. Then reduce the calculator to an icon on the toolbar by
clicking its minimize button, (The _ button at the upper right of the calculator). Start the Trig Challenge
program by clicking its icon. The calculator can be used at any time now by pressing the Windows button,
(the button with the Windows symbol at the lower left corner of the keyboard). The tool bar will appear at
the bottom of the screen. Click on the calculator button to pop the calculator up for use. The calculator can
be dismissed by either clicking the calculator minimize button or clicking outside of the calculator.

A calculated number can be pasted directly into a Trig Challenge activity by following the steps listed
below.

(1) Click on Copy in the Edit menu on the calculator. You can also type Ctrl-c, (Type c while holding
down the Ctrl key).
(2) Click on the answer block of a Trig Challenge activity. Type Ctrl-v, (Type v while holding down the
Ctrl key). Most operating systems will also allow pasting by clicking the right button while the mouse
pointer is on the answer block. A menu will appear in which the user clicks on the paste option.

Pasting numbers with many digits will cause only the last digits to be visible in the answer edit block. You
can use your mouse or cursor keys to scroll left to view all of the pasted digits.
