  • Publication number: 20060136477
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for breaking a computer-generated document into a number of components where the components have explicit relationships with each other. A relationship representation is generated for the components of the document. A user may then navigate the relationships between the components to quickly understand the nature of the document and its components and to locate particular portions of the document that are important to the user. In addition, the user may open, edit and reuse particular components of the document apart from the rest of the document and without having to open or edit the document.

  • Publication number: 20050278272
    Abstract: Modular content framework and document format methods and systems are described. The described framework and format define a set of building blocks for composing, packaging, distributing, and rendering document-centered content. These building blocks define a platform-independent framework for document formats that enable software and hardware systems to generate, exchange, and display documents reliably and consistently. The framework and format have been designed in a flexible and extensible fashion. In addition to this general framework and format, a particular format, known as the reach package format, is defined using the general framework. The reach package format is a format for storing paginated documents. The contents of a reach package can be displayed or printed with full fidelity among devices and applications in a wide range of environments and across a wide range of scenarios.

  • Publication number: 20040153971
    Abstract: A publishing program can provide continuous and real-time feedback on possible design problems while a document is being edited or created. The feedback can include displaying a user interface that has a real-time list of any design problems that may be a result of the current edits or creations in a document. The list is updated as the document is being created or edited. A user can toggle between the list and the document as often as desired. The list can identify all current potential publication problems of an electronic document as well as the types of the publication problems that may be present in an electronic document.
