摘要:
Aligning the contents of document objects on an electronic document page. Organizing a page of document objects so textual content is aligned to natural eye scanning patterns promotes readership and usability. When a user creates a new island of text, the new text can be snapped into alignment with an existing island of text. Invisible guidelines that emanate from textual features in a document object can page. In response to placing a content insertion point (“IP”) on an electronic page with an existing document object, the IP can be automatically aligned to the content of the existing document object. A page with several arbitrarily positioned document objects can be automatically rearranged so that the contents of the document objects are each aligned to one another.

A summary page provides a current overview of a document. A query may be created or selected to search for a particular type of data in the document. Metadata associated with the document is analyzed to locate the type of data identified in the query. The query result is displayed on the summary page. A user may scan the summary page to determine an overview of the document based on the query result. The summary page may also include a link to the source of the query result in the document. The query or the query results may be stored in a dynamic content container associated with the document. The dynamic quality of the content container causes the summary page to be continuously updated and synchronous with a current state of the document. Thus, modifications to sources of the query result in the document are dynamically updated on the summary page.

This document describes techniques for presenting a resource user interface. These techniques present, in a summary section of a user interface, multiple selectable resource tiles that each include real-time and/or static information corresponding to one of multiple resources of a computing device. Each of the multiple selectable resource tiles are presented simultaneously, which enables a user to compare live, real-time resource usage for different resources of the computing device. Further, these techniques present, in a detailed view section of the user interface, additional real-time resource information and/or a real-time resource graph corresponding to a selected one of the multiple resources.

A display environment for a plurality of display devices is described. In one or more implementations, a display environment of an operating system of a computing device is configured to display a plurality of shells that support user interaction with the operating system by launching a first shell for display on a first display device of the computing device and launching a second shell for display on a second display device of the computing device such that the first and second shells are displayable simultaneously by the computing device.

A computer-implemented method for fitting content of a network document onto a reduced-size screen comprises displaying the document on the reduced-size screen and receiving a user input to indicate a desired portion of the displayed document. In response to the user input, content is extracted from the desired portion of the document and displayed in a manner formatted to fit the reduced-size screen. An apparatus for displaying a network document in a graphical user interface for a reduced-size screen is also described.
摘要:
Determining and applying format attributes associated with content in an electronic document that is cut or copied from an electronic document and pasted into the same or different electronic document. The determination may be based on the format attributes of the content within a region of an electronic document containing the cut or copied content and the format attributes of a region of content that includes the location where the cut or copied text may be pasted. Local formatting may be associated with the source region of content and the destination region of content. Direct, or emphasis formatting, may be associated with content that has been cut or copied.
摘要:
A personal media player is arranged to capture information, such as wireless network information (including network ID and key) and other kinds of information such as credentials (e.g., user name and password), and then share the information with a wireless networkable device when the player is physically coupled to the device in a docking process. When the personal media player is docked, the information is automatically transferred from the player to the device to enable the device to perform some action without any additional effort by the user. This could include, for example, discovering and be securely admitted to the wireless network, or accessing a remote service using the transferred credentials.

摘要:
Different levels or categories of text or images or both can be selected on a display device with simple commands. A selection region including one of selected text and selected images can be increased or decreased depending upon an executed command. A first command can increase a selection region while a second and different second command can decrease a selection region. Once a maximum amount is selected by using the first command and if the first command is selected again, the selection region can return to the minimum amount of text and images that can be selected. And vice-versa.

Displaying a membrane, or container, around a document object on an electronic document page. In response to placing the insertion point (IP) on the page, a ghost membrane can be displayed on an output screen at the IP. After content is added at the IP, a membrane around the content can be displayed. This membrane can be continually displayed, even when an IP is not in the document object. One or more handles may be displayed around the membrane of a document object containing an IP or underlying a cursor. An IP can also be placed within a hit region associated with a membrane of a document object, allowing a user to add content to that document object at the IP. Similarly, selected text can be dragged from one document object to another document object and added to that document object when the selected text contacts a hit region of the document object.
