摘要： An object tracking module establishes relationships between different types of data objects associated with application programs while a particular activity occurs. Contextual information associated with the data objects and the activity is collected to establish the relationship. The contextual information may include data objects that are accessed or created while the activity is in progress, or any other information associated with the activity. When an event related to the activity occurs, the object tracking module locates data relevant to the event based on the established relationships. The relevant data is presented in the same information space where the event occurs. A user may easily access the relevant information without manually searching for the data. The object tracking module may determine the degree of relevance between the data objects and the event such that only the most relevant objects are displayed.

摘要： A user interface control is provided for navigating, selecting, and organizing document pages. The user interface control includes page tabs corresponding to document pages within an electronic document. The page tabs are organized and displayed adjacent to one another in a horizontal or vertical column. When any page tab is selected, such as with a mouse or keyboard, the document page corresponding to the selected page tab is displayed. A first page tab may be selected and a second page tab may be subsequently selected, such as for instance using a mouse or other pointing device. The selection may include dragging a mouse cursor from the first page tab across several page tabs and subsequently to the second page tab. When such a selection is received, the control displays the contents of each of the document pages corresponding to page tabs between the first and second page tabs. The user interface control may also include next page tabs displayed at either end of the column of page tabs or a new page tab displayed at either end of the column of page tabs. Page tabs may also be selected and moved to a new position between other page tabs.

摘要： A program module may allow a user to change a user interface language. Because a help feature often refers to user interface terms, a user may become confused if the help feature refers to user interface terms in the help language rather than in the user interface language. HTML help feature file tagging may be altered with an HTML tag set so that these user interface terms may be identified and converted to the user interface language. Once a user interface term is identified in the HTML help feature file of the help feature language, the corresponding user interface term may be retrieved from the help feature file of the user interface language by identifying the same tag. The corresponding user interface term of the help feature file of the user interface language may then be plugged into the help feature file of the help feature language and displayed.

摘要： The present invention is directed at a simplified system and method for manipulating data in a data processing application. The system and method allow the user to manipulate data in a table-like manner without resorting to other data entry screens or windows to define a table-like structure. Rather, the table-like structure is defined by interactively monitoring inputs received from a user. For example, if a user enters a tab following data on a same line, the present invention will manipulate that data as two columns of information. Thus, without performing additional tasks tangential to inputting data, the user is provided with table-like features, such as wrapping text, adjusting column width, and the like. In another embodiment, the table-like structure is determined by scanning contiguous lines for lines with identical horizontal alignment in relation to a first line.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for creating asides within an electronic document are provided. The keystroke combination is defined for creating an aside with an electronic document. If the keystroke combination is received, a location is identified within the electronic document for an aside object. Once the location for the aside has been determined, an outline object is created at the location. The outline object holds text or other contents for the aside. An insertion point is then placed within the object. The user may then enter keystrokes or other data into the second object. If the keystroke combination is again entered, the insertion point is returned to its location immediately prior to moving the insertion point to the aside object. The keystroke combination for creating an aside and the keystroke combination for returning from the aside may be identical. Asides may also be created in various portions of an electronic document, such as a title portion, in a similar manner.

摘要： Described is a mechanism for visually categorizing electronic notes so that important information within the notes can be easily discerned. More specifically, a user may request to categorize an object (i.e., a note) in a document that is being displayed on a screen. The request may be received through a menu selection, a short-key combination, an ink gesture, and the like. The request specifies which one of several visual indicators to apply to the object. When the visual indicator is applied, the object becomes distinguishable from other objects displayed in the document on the screen. The visual indicator may be displayed in proximity to the object on the screen and may have a formatting attribute therewith which is applied to the object, such as changing a font color for the object, highlighting the object and the like. Each of the several visual indicators is visually distinct.

摘要： Converting an incoming phonetically-coded string representing an East Asian language into its proper text characters. Conversion is triggered when dynamic IME analysis of the string indicates a threshold probability of correct conversion. Conversion of unconverted phonetic text is also triggered when the user relocates the insertion point. The user may select portions of text affected by conversion error and access a corresponding editable phonetic string and a prioritized list of alternate conversions for that string. The corresponding phonetic string is generated from the selected text if the original input string is unavailable.

摘要： Detecting an encoding system used to encode computer readable text or data across a wide variety of encoding systems. When a user attempts to download and use text or data on his or her computer, encoded data is passed from the desired text or data file to a series of code readers. Each code reader is programmed to read encoded data according to the rules of a given encoding system. When a given code reader is unable to validate a byte of data according to the encoding system rules associated with that reader, that reader is deactivated. This process of elimination leads to a single reader and a single encoding system. If the list of readers is not eliminated to a single reader, ambiguity resolution is performed to narrow the list of readers to a single reader. Once the list of active readers is narrowed to one, the encoding system associated with that reader is returned as the encoding system with which the data is encoded. Finally, statistics gathered on the data as it is read are used to confirm and augment detection of the encoding system.
