ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus to enable scanning one or more documents, from within a word-processor program, wherein said method and apparatus automatically identifies key topics and phrases in a document's text, and inserts identifying tokens for the index-generation program in the word-processor to generate an index to those key topics. One embodiment provides an apparatus and method for automatically identifying semantically important key topics within an integrated word-processor environment. A document is scanned from within a word-processor program, automatically identifies significant key topics in the document, and creates and inserts index tokens for these key topics. One embodiment includes a process running in a word-processor program on a computer which (a) allows an author to select index generation for a document being processed (edited) and then, using a semantic analyzer program running on a computer, (b) automatically identifies significant key topics within the document, (c) generates and embeds index tokens into the text of the document.
