ABSTRACT:
A compound document in a computer, which includes a first object editor embedded in the compound document for rendering first data in a first data content area of the compound document. The compound document further includes a second object editor embedded in the compound document for rendering second data in a second data content area of the compound document, the first data content area and the second data content area being mutually exclusive. Further, there are embedded a plurality of editing controllers in the compound document for selectively editing attributes of a selection of one of the first and second data. The compound document further includes a data switching system for communicating attribute data between the editing controllers and the first and second object editors, the attribute data representing the attributes of the selection, wherein the data switching system determines which one of the plurality of editing controllers receives the attribute data based on interest registered by each of the plurality of editing controllers with the data switching system.
