displays the integral sign so you input looks like math symbols rather
than mathematica speak. I found that I can calculate indefinite
integrals but not definite integrals using this technique. Mathematica
will allow the input for the integration limits but it doesn't evaluate
the integral. Any ideas, besides just doing it the old fashioned way.
Integrate[x^2,{x,0,4}]

You can access a Palette to do this with the menu selection:
File
--> Palettes
--> BasicCalculations
Once the palette comes up select:
--> Calculus
--> Common Operations

Here is the full expression for the part that's giving you trouble:
Cell[BoxData[
StyleBox[
SubsuperscriptBox["\[Integral]",
"a","b"],
ScriptLevel->0]], "Input"]
The short cut keys for entering this are complicated, but it's explained in
the Help Browser under (SubsuperscriptBox).
