The options and allow the user to insert the text from the dictionary, indexes, fractions and special
symbols into the expression of the edited variable. Both options contain the lists of embedded icons. Any of
them can be shown in the automenu. Usually it is the icon of the option which was invoked the most
recently.
When using the options of insertion into the expression of the edited variable, the special symbols
of formatting by rules adopted for the string text are automatically added (see section “Subscript
and Superscript Text. Use of Variables in Text”).
The options , , are provided for handling the selected portion of the current variable value. As
the contents of the clipboard are being pasted, the system checks the correspondence between the types of
the clipboard contents and the current variable. Therefore, it is impossible to insert a character string into a
numerical variable.
Besides, the system checks for presence of the tab character dividers in the text being inserted. If the text
being inserted into the field of a textual variable contains the tabulation characters, it will be processed as
follows. The portion of the text before the first tabulation character will be inserted in the current variable. If
there are more textual variables in this paragraph text, then the next portion of the clipboard text will be
automatically entered in the field of the next variable, and so on until all variables or the clipboard contents
are used up.

The option toggles the display of the formatting marks (tab, new line, etc.) in the text being edited.
To confirm the changes you have made, press the option or click the mouse outside the text area. The
