摘要:
A programmable object model includes a plurality of object-oriented message calls for application programming interfaces allowing a user to programmatically access the schema validation model of an application by sending message calls and required parameters to the schema validation model to customize or otherwise modify the operation of the schema validation model as desired by the user. Once the user has access to the schema validation model of an application, the user may attach Extensible Markup Language (XML) schema files to a document and control definitions, grammatical rules, and other settings dictated by the attached XML schema file. The user also is allowed to customize the application's native schema validation functionality with user-defined rules and error text. The XML schema validation model of an application may be accessed from a user-created program written according to a variety of different languages such as C, C++, C#, and Visual Basic.

Methods and systems are provided for automatically replicating table rows and cells marked up with Extensible Markup Language (XML) data (markup) to create new table rows and cells containing the same XML markup as a selected row and cells from which the new row and cells are replicated. A table row with one or more cells may be selected for replication. The selected row (source row) is parsed to determine XML markup (XML elements (tags)) applied to the row or cells contained therein. A new row(s) and corresponding cell(s) is created. XML markup applied to the source row and its cells is automatically applied to the new row and cells contained therein.

A programmable object model allows a user to programmatically access and utilize a Namespace or schema library containing XML schema files and related XML-based resources for associating the schema files and XML-based resources with one or more documents and for customizing the functionality associated with the schema files and XML-based resources. The programmable object model also allows the user/programmer to remove schema files and other XML-based resources from association with previously associated documents.
摘要:
The present invention provides markers for spelling and grammar errors and the proofing state of a word-processing document stored as an XML file. The markers are used to show where a spelling or grammar error has occurred within the document. The proof state indicates whether the document been fully checked for spelling or grammatical errors.
摘要:
An application can use native field structures, which can store information such as “Creation Date of the Document”, “Formula”, a specially formatted number, a reference to text in another part of the document. Fields are commonly used for document automation, so that the application itself can include certain information among the contents of the document, with possibly no extra user intervention required. Thus a way can be provided to save this field definition information in a markup language (ML) document without data loss. When the format is stored in a markup language, other applications can validate the document stored in accordance with the native format. The other applications can represent the information in accordance to the degree to which they are aware of the unique properties of the application used to generate the document.

摘要:
Methods and systems provide for imposing structure onto a freeform or irregular table so that a subsequent consuming application may use the table, including presentation of the table and location of the data in the table. A generic grid structure is created having a plurality of uniformly-shaped cells such that if the generic grid is overlaid onto the irregular table, each cell within the irregular table may be located based on its position relative to the uniform cells or grids. The grid structure creates a coordinate system for defining the shape of the irregular table, for defining locations and shapes of cells comprising the irregular table and for addressing the locations of data contained in the irregular table.
摘要:
Methods and systems allow style and other formatting settings to remain latent until one or more particular style or formatting settings is instantiated by a user. Data representing each latent style or formatting object is persisted in a data structure apart from the user's document. Each potential style setting or formatting setting may be set as locked for use for a given document or locked for non-use for a given document. Upon saving the document, no data is saved for the numerous available style and formatting settings in the document. When a particular style is called upon by a subsequent consuming application, that application may then instantiate the particular style or formatting setting based on the properties of that style or formatting setting available from the subsequent consuming application.
摘要:
A Word processor including a native XML file format is provided. The well formed XML file fully represents the word-processor document, and fully supports 100% of word-processor's rich formatting. There are no feature losses when saving the word-processor documents as XML. A published XSD file defines all the rules behind the word-processor's XML file format. Hints may be provided within the XML associated files providing applications that understand XML a shortcut to understanding some of the features provided by the word-processor. The word-processing document is stored in a single XML file. Additionally, manipulation of word-processing documents may be done on computing devices that do not include the word-processor itself.
