Abstract
A method and system in a computer network for assisting users in collectively creating documents with minimal document intrusiveness via the computer network. Initially, a document is displayed in a graphic interface of a computer in a computer network, such that the document may also be displayed at any one of a number of computers within the computer network. Next, portions of the document are designated which may be commented upon by users. These portions of the document are automatically associated with displayable interface wherein users may enter comments pertaining to the document. The displayable interface is then displayed within the graphic interface, in response to user input. A user is then permitted to enter comments pertaining to the document within the displayable interface, such that the comments may be separately stored, subsequently retrieved and utilized in the creation of the document without cluttering. The displayable interface is then automatically closed upon completion of an entry of comments pertaining to the document within the displayable interface.
