In Document mode, you can enter two types of content: Text and Math. The
Text mode and Math mode icons at the left end of the toolbar indicate the
current mode. The toolbar is located near the top of the Maple window, im-
mediately below the menu bar.
To switch between Text and Math modes, press the F5 key. (Alternatively,
click the Text mode or Math mode toolbar icon.) Consequently, it is easy
to enter sentences containing text and inline mathematical expressions.
