Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enabling simultaneous group editing of electronically stored documents are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for embedding within an electronic word processing document are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing the electronic word processing document, wherein the electronic word processing document contains text; detecting an in-line object inserted into the text at a particular location, the in-line object including a URL-based rule linked to a portion of the text; executing the URL-based rule to retrieve internet located data corresponding to the URL-based rule; and inserting the retrieved internet-located data into the text at the particular location.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for embedding and running an electronic non-word processing application within an electronic word processing document are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing a display interference in an electronic collaborative word processing document are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing a electronic collaborative word processing document; presenting a first and a second instance of the electronic collaborative word processing document via a first and a second hardware device running a first and a second editor, respectively; receiving from the first and the second editor during a common editing period, first and second edits to the electronic collaborative word processing document, respectively; locking a display associated with the second hardware device to suppress the pagination change caused by the first edits received by the second hardware device; and upon receipt of a scroll-up command via the second editor during the common editing period, causing the display associated with the second hardware device to reflect the pagination change caused by the first edits.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for tracking on a slide-by-slide basis, edits to presentation slides are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing a stored deck of presentation slides; populating a first window, a second window, and a third window with slides of the deck; receiving a selection of a particular slide having a current version displayed in the second window and a former version displayed in the third window; receiving a first selection of the particular slide in the second window; upon receipt of the first selection, causing a rendition of the particular slide to appear in the first window; receiving a second selection of the particular slide in the third window; and upon receipt of the second selection, causing a rendition of the particular slide to appear in the first window.
