A method and system for storing data used by an add-in application in, or associated with, a document. Document-based applications, such as Microsoft� Word and Corel� WordPerfect�, can be functionally enhanced with third-party add-ins. Present methods of storing data in a document body can slow down the document-based application processing significantly as the document grows large and the data associated with the add-in or document application also grows. Other current methods use auxiliary files, which means that the auxiliary files must be kept with the document. The presented method and system enable efficient add-in storage in a document, without substantial slow-down in performance or interference with the user's ability to manipulate the document. Because data is stored within the document itself, the document can be shared without losing data used by the add-in application. |
