  • Patent number: 5940846
    Abstract: A method of displaying an electronic manual which minimizes the labor and time required for displaying a sentence containing a specific character string, particularly when the character string exists in more than one sentence in the electronic manual. Upon retrieval of an item present in plural areas, a sub-window is opened to list all the pages containing the item, partly displaying the contents of one of the listed pages. This allows the user to view and check the brief contents of the other pages prior to determining the page to be fully displayed. The page number can be designated at random and the description can be viewed as many times as required.
