Data processor controlled interactive document editing display system with an implementation for swapping the positions of tow designated segments of data in a displayed document

摘要

A user friendly display interface that expedites the switching of positions of a pair of sections with each other in a displayed word processing document. The invention involves an implementation for defining one segment of displayed data in a displayed document together with defining another segment of displayed data in the displayed document, and a function enabling a user to select to swap said one segment with said another segment. There is a function responsive to such a user selection to swap for swapping the positions of the defined segments of data with each other. As an interactive aid to the user, the defined sections may be highlighted. The defined sections of data may be text; such as a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph or a whole page or more. The defined sections may also include images.
