ABSTRACT:
A document manager runs at a client computer and retrieves documents downloaded from a server computer across a communications medium. The documents can contain embedded links to objects, which are building blocks that make up or are associated with the documents. The client computer keeps a local copy of a standard-set of objects, so that when the client computer needs to present the linked objects to the user, the linked objects that are part of the standard-set do not need to be retrieved from the server by the client. When a linked object is needed, the document manager parses the embedded link to the object and extracts the file name of the object. The document manager then searches a name list, which contains all the names of objects in the standard-set. If the file name from the link is in the name list, the document manager uses the object of the same name in the local copy of the standard-set. If the file name is not in the name list, the document manager retrieves the linked object using the full embedded link.
