The application includes a content display module to display a document selected by a user. The document includes a plurality of pages. The application also includes a timer generating module to generate a document viewing period and a plurality of page viewing periods corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of pages of the document. The timer generating module also generates a document viewing timer and a plurality of page viewing timers for respective ones of the pages. When the content display module displays a first page of the plurality of pages to the user, the timer generating module starts a first timer. The timer generating module also starts the document viewing timer.

Abstract: A system and method for providing network-based functionality to a word processing document includes, on the client side, a productivity application which is augmented with network-enabling software that provides users with new network-based functionality, which may be accessed within the productivity application. The network-enabling software of the present invention enables users to generate and modify word processing documents by embedding network-enabling objects that can launch and make use of network-based functionality from within the productivity application. The invention further includes remote server support for the network-enabling software that augments the personal computer application, and as well as providing support for the resulting word processing document. Network-based content may be placed, for example, in a table, at a specific insertion point or within an embedded portion of another document type within a word processing document.
