Abstract: A method is provided for automatically applying named styles to existing documents including word processing documents. The existing document is scanned and parsed into style regions of uniform style. The style attributes of each uniform style region are identified, and these identified style attributes are used to create style groups containing style regions having identical or substantially identical style attributes. These style attributes can be expressed in set or vector form. Named styles are then associated with the identified style group by either comparing the style attributes of a given style group to the attributes of a pre-defined named style or by extracting a named style from the style group. Once associated with a named style, the style regions within a given style group can be modified to be consistent with the named style associated with the style group.

Abstract: For a document with content that has been structured into a set primitive areas, a novel method for performing contiguous selection of document content across different primitive areas in the document is disclosed. The method defines a contiguous section in the ordered list by identifying the first and last primitive elements of the contiguous selection. The first primitive element is identified as the primitive element that is closest in reading flow to a start selection point on the page, while the last primitive element is identified as the primitive element that is closest in reading flow to an end selection point on the page.

Abstract: For a page that has been decomposed into a set of primitive areas, a novel method for organizing the set of primitive areas into an ordered list is disclosed. The primitive areas in the ordered list are initially sorted using start point order relation ordering, which compares the start points of the primitive areas in the coordinate system of the page. The ordering of the primitive areas in the ordered list are then refined by using contextual order relation ordering, which compares primitive areas against each other according to coordinate systems local to the primitive areas being compared. A new ordered list is then created by transposing primitive areas that are incorrectly ordered according to contextual order relation ordering.
