摘要

A document association device includes a document memory, a reference operation receiving unit, an editing operation receiving unit, an operation memory, and an association unit. The document memory stores one or more electronic documents each including plural elements. The reference operation receiving unit receives a reference operation for one or more elements in an electronic document stored in the document memory. The editing operation receiving unit receives an editing operation for one or more elements in an electronic document stored in the document memory. The operation memory stores information on a received operation. When the editing operation receiving unit receives an editing operation after the reference operation receiving unit receives a reference operation, the association unit associates one or more elements targeted by the reference operation with one or more elements targeted by the editing operation, in accordance with information stored in the operation memory.
