  • Patent number: 11562132
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display, a setter, and a synchronization controller. The display displays a first document in a first window and also displays a second document in a second window. The setter sets a synchronization setting between the first and second documents. The synchronization controller executes an operation performed on one of the first and second documents also on the other one of the first and second documents when a synchronization setting is set by the setter, and cancels the synchronization setting when one of the first and second documents is in a first state in which it is not being used and restarts the synchronization setting when the corresponding one of the first and second documents is changed from the first state to a second state in which it is being used.

  • Patent number: 11157142
    Abstract: A document processing apparatus includes a display controller and a button update unit. The display controller performs, in a document processing application that is capable of adding multiple types of objects to an electronic document to be processed, control such that a display screen is displayed, the display screen including multiple recent instruction input buttons that are allocated multiple object adding instructions for adding an object to the electronic document, the multiple object adding instructions having been recently received from a user; and a button update unit that performs button update processing for updating an object adding instruction allocated to one of the multiple recent instruction input buttons to a newly received object adding instruction. In a case where it is determined that object adding instructions for adding a same type of objects to the electronic document to be processed are received consecutively, the button update unit does not perform the button update processing.
