Abstract: A method and system for automatically adding graphics to a document to illustrate concepts referred to therein is provided. The method and system selects an instance of graphics illustrating concepts expressed by an input word in the document from among instances of graphics, at least a portion of which have associated with them one or more words characterizing their subject. The method and system further utilizes a list of words, each representing a concept. The method and system first determines whether the input word is among the list of words that each represent a concept. If the input word is among the list of words that each represent a concept, the method and system identifies an instance of graphics having associated with it the input word. The method and system then selects the identified instance of graphics.

Abstract: A presentation system having a control window that may be invoked while the presentation system is in a slide-show mode. The control window may be displayed on a monitor, in front of a slide, within the boundary of the slide, and without resizing the slide, while the presentation system remains in the slide-show mode. The control window has the appearance of a file folder including an edit field and three tabs that may be selected to invoke three different control functions. The control functions selectively invoked by these tabs allow the user to effectively interact with the content of a slide presentation during the course of the presentation. The three tabs are notes pages tab, meeting minutes tab, and action items tab. Selecting the notes pages tab causes speaker's note associated with the current slide to be displayed in the control window. Selecting the meeting minutes tab allows the user to record a contemporaneous note during the course of the presentation.
