Abstract

See full text

A method and system for selecting a location in a first document, selecting a location in a second document, performing an action on the second document and performing the identical action on the first document at the defined location. An alternative embodiment links a first object to a second object and performs an action, such as launching an application of the second object, and remembering the location where the document was last accessed. Another embodiment, termed the whole model embodiment, provides an anchor to an entire object. The anchor enables an action to be applied to the whole object. For example, to copy data from a clipboard object, the copy command is directed to the anchor of the clipboard object. Still another embodiment provides an anchor representative of the first misspelled word or highest value in a document or a spreadsheet.
