Patent number: 8650482Abstract: Alignment and positioning of tabs in text-based applications is provided by dynamically positioning the tabs based on content, margins, page size, and indents. Tab positions are aligned relative to a size, at least one margin, or content of a document or text-containing object such as a text box. Tab positions may also be aligned relative to an indent of a paragraph or of multiple columns on the same page. Alignment properties of tab positions are carried over when text is moved to table columns or other text-containing objects. Column-like grouping of text of varying size and alignments is enabled by using multiple tabs in a single line.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2005Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Stuart J. Stuple, Robert A. Little, Sergey Genkin, Igor Zverev

Patent number: 7979792Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer-readable medium are provided for providing page and table layout services. According to the method, a layout manager program provides layout services to client application programs. The layout manager receives requests from client application programs to format document content. In response to such requests, the layout manager performs one or more callback operations to the client application to retrieve portions of the document to be laid out. Once the portions of the page to be laid out have been retrieved through the callback operations, the layout manager lays out the portions of the document and notifies the client application that the layout is completed. The client application can then query the layout manager for the formatting result.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christoph E. Ammann, Andrei Burago, Sergey Genkin, Eliyezer Kohen, Victor Kozyrev, Anton A. Sukhanov, Igor Zverev

Patent number: 7770111Abstract: A method and computer-readable medium are provided for optimized paragraph layout. According to the method, a line-by-line paragraph layout is generated determine a maximum penalty for a paragraph. One or more layout nodes may be generated that include data representing a possible layout of the paragraph to a point within a backing store and identifying any changes to a geometry of the page caused by the layout of the paragraph defined by the layout node. A penalty is also calculated for each of the layout nodes. Each layout node that has a penalty less than the maximum penalty calculated during the line-by-line formatting processing is added to the node pool. This process repeats until only a single layout node remains in the node pool that represents the entire paragraph of text.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrei Burago, Christoph E. Ammann, Sergey Genkin, Eliyezer Kohen, Victor Kozyrev, Anton A. Sukhanov, Igor Zverev

Patent number: 7698637Abstract: A method and computer-readable medium are provided for laying out footnotes. Each footnote includes a footnote reference and corresponding footnote text. According to the method, an attempt is first made to lay out one or more footnotes such that each of the references and the corresponding text all fit completely within one page. If such a layout cannot be made, an attempt is may to lay out each of the footnotes such that all of the reference marks fit on the page and all but one of the corresponding note text fits completely on the page. If such a layout cannot be made, an emergency layout may be generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2005Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrei Burago, Sergey Genkin, Eliyezer Kohen, Victor Kozyrev, Anton Sukhanov, Igor Zverev

Patent number: 7472340Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer-readable medium are provided for generating a multiple column layout. According to the method, a layout is defined that includes two or more columns and one or more spans that extend across two or more of the columns. Each span is defined as being either content defined or height defined. Content is laid out from a document in each span that is height defined until a defined height is reached. Content is laid out from the document in each span that is content defined until a specified point in the content is reached. When all content or height defined spans have been laid out, the remaining portion of the content is laid out across all of the columns.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrei Burago, Sergey Genkin, Eliyezer Kohen, Victor Kozyrev, Anton A.
