Chris,
Here is a simple way:
Suppose you want to include the following expression in a notebook
Integrate[x^3, {x, a, b}]
(For convenience I have shown the InputForm above but you would normal
use the StandardForm)
Step1: Open up a notebook and go to the Input->Create
Table/Matrix/Palette..
Step2: Select palette and enter in Number of Rows Box -> 1, Number of
Columns->1, and then click OK
Step3: A palette box appears in your notebook. Type in the expression
you want into the placeholder (see above)
Step 4: Highlight the cell containing the palette and then go to File->
Generate Palette from Selection. A Palette will appear on your desktop(
at least on Mac OS X it does)
Step 5 Save the palette in a convenient directory.
Step 6 Now open up a new notebook, open up the palette notebook tyou
saved in Step 5. When you click on the palette the expression will
appear in your notebook at the selection point.
If you want a palette with additional expressions select more than 1
row and 1 column in Step 2, and fill in the additional expressions in
Step 3.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Brian
