Abstract
Description
- This patent application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/955,622 entitled “Method, System, And Computer-Readable Medium For Creating, Inserting, And Reusing Complex Document Parts In An Electronic Document,” the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein, in its entirety, by reference.
- Modern word processors enable a user to readily create electronic documents. Many modern word processors include templates to facilitate the insertion of “document parts” which are typical structural elements found in a variety of documents. These typical structural elements include such features as cover pages, headers and footers, and the like. A user of a word processing application program typically selects a desired document part from a template of similarly styled parts created by a template author and then inserts the selected document part in the document. Unfortunately, the creation and insertion of document parts in modern word processors presents a number of drawbacks to both the template author as well as the end user.
- One drawback associated with the creation of document part templates for use in modern word processors is that the template author generally must undergo the time consuming task of creating each document part from scratch utilizing various graphical software tools to design and format each document part. One drawback associated with the insertion of document parts in a document by an end user is that the end user must depend on template authors to design suitable document parts for insertion (i.e., the typical end user lacks the design skill require to design or modify existing document parts). Another drawback associated with the insertion of document parts by an end user is that the end user must typically perform a series of steps so that the document part will fit the size and layout of the document in which it is inserted. For instance, to insert a cover page a user may perform one or more of the following time-consuming steps: 1. Insert a page break at the top of the document; 2. Center the test vertically in the page by using empty paragraph markers so that the title is displayed correctly; 3. Increase the font size of the title; 4. Add empty space to push text to the bottom of the page where the author's name and date will be displayed; 5. Right align the text and make it smaller.
- It is with respect to these considerations and others that the various embodiments of the present invention have been made.
- In accordance with the present invention, the above and other problems are solved by a method and apparatus for utilizing an extensible markup language schema to define document parts for use in an electronic document. According to one aspect of the invention, a method includes providing a glossary document accessible by one or more word processing application programs. The glossary document includes schema elements for defining one or more document parts for insertion in an electronic document. The method further includes receiving, in a properties element, properties associated with a document part. Each property defines the document part for use in the electronic document. The method further includes receiving, in a content element, content to be included in the document part.
- The properties element includes one or more child elements associated with the document part. These child elements include a name element for providing a name to be associated with the document part, a description element for providing a description of the document part, a style element for providing text describing a style for displaying the content to be included in the document part, and an InsertOptions element for providing a value identifying allowable content for insertion in the document part. The allowable content for insertion in a document part may include a paragraph, a page, or a section.
- The schema may include a types element for identifying one or more types of document parts which may be inserted in the electronic document. The schema may also include a categories element for identifying one or more categories of document parts. The schema may also include a global format element for defining a global format to be applied to each document part inserted in the electronic document.
- The invention may be implemented as a computer process, a computing system, or as an article of manufacture such as a computer program product or computer readable media. The computer program product may be a computer storage media readable by a computer system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process. The computer program product may also be a propagated signal on a carrier readable by a computing system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process.

FIG. 3 , anillustrative routine 300 will be described illustrating a process for utilizing the XML schema in theglossary document 28 to define document parts for use in an electronic document. It should be appreciated that although the embodiments of the invention described herein are presented in the context of the wordprocessing application program 10, the invention may be utilized in other types of application programs that support text processing. - When reading the discussion of the routines presented herein, it should be appreciated that the logical operations of various embodiments of the present invention are implemented (1) as a sequence of computer implemented acts or program modules running on a computing system and/or (2) as interconnected machine logic circuits or circuit modules within the computing system. The implementation is a matter of choice dependent on the performance requirements of the computing system implementing the invention. Accordingly, the logical operations illustrated in
FIG. 3 , and making up the embodiments of the present invention described herein are referred to variously as operations, structural devices, acts or modules. It will be recognized by one skilled in the art that these operations, structural devices, acts and modules may be implemented in software, in firmware, in special purpose digital logic, and any combination thereof without deviating from the spirit and scope of the present invention as recited within the claims set forth herein. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , the routine300 begins atoperation 310, wherein a user opens theglossary document 28 to access the schema containing the document part elements discussed above inFIG. 2 . In particular, theglossary document 28 may be opened in the wordprocessing application program 10 view and edit the schema elements corresponding to document parts. It will be appreciated that in alternative embodiment of the invention, the schema or portions thereof may be obtained from a third party source and opened using a conventional text editor. In this manner, document parts may be edited and/or created without having to load the wordprocessing application program 10. - The routine300 continues from
operation 310 atoperation 320 where the global formatting element in the schema receives formatting for all of the document parts to be defined. For instance, a user may assign a font to thefonts element 206 so that a consistent font is applied to each document part defined in the schema. The routine300 continues fromoperation 320 atoperation 330 where thetypes element 214 receives one or more document types to be defined in the schema. In particular, a user may enter the types (e.g., Cover Pages, Headers, Footers, etc.) for each document part to be defined. - The routine300 continues from
operation 330 atoperation 340 where thecategories element 222 receives one or more categories for the document part types defined atoperation 330. In particular, thecategories element 222 allows a user to assign document types to categories. For instance, a user may assign a “Date and Time” category to the General AutoText document type. - The routine300 continues from
operation 340 atoperation 350 where theDocPartPr element 234 receives document part properties for a document part. In particular a user defines a single document part by navigating to theDocPartPr element 234 and entering user values in thename element 238 to name the document part, thedescription element 240 to describe the document part, thepStyle element 242 to assign a style to the document part, and theinsertOptions element 244 to define the type of content which may be inserted into the document part. The routine300 continues fromoperation 350 atoperation 360 where thedocPartBody element 246 receives content (e.g., text) for the defined document part. In particular, the user may enter the content for the document part in thedocPartBody element 246. - The routine300 continues from
operation 360 atoperation 370 where the user decides if there are more document parts to be defined in the schema. If there are more document parts to be defined, the routine300 returns tooperation 350. If there are no more document parts to be defined, then the routine300 then ends. - Based on the foregoing, it should be appreciated that the various embodiments of the invention include a method and apparatus for utilizing an extensible markup language schema to define document parts for use in an electronic document. It will be appreciated that by using the schema disclosed herein has a number of advantages over a user interface for defining document parts in an electronic document. One advantage is that the schema allows a user a more flexible way to define document parts without using the user interface. Another advantage is that utilization of the schema also enables a user to more efficiently add document parts to a collection or to create multiple templates by simply opening a file and inserting the appropriate XML directly into a glossary document.
- The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the composition of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.
