摘要 |
A method of creating an electronic document by entering data into the electronic document, searching one or more information sets to identify a set entry which matches a portion of the entered data, and inserting a link to information from the set entry into the electronic document, wherein the link is associated with the matched portion of the entered data. Searching occurs automatically as the data is entered, and different information sets can be designated for searching from among a plurality of available information sets, such as database files, file folders, web browser bookmarks, or email address books. The link is inserted in response to selection of the set entry for inclusion in the electronic document, particularly when multiple matches to parenthetical information are found. In the example where the set entry is a separate file and the document is an email message, the link points to the separate file as an attachment to the email message.
