ABSTRACT:
A publisher program for automatically changing the layout of content-filled desktop publishing documents. The publisher program allows the author of a document to use a menu-driven utility to define a first layout for the document. A program module known as a Wizard then renders a document in the first layout. The author makes changes to the document while the document is in the first layout, typically by adding content and making author-defined changes to the document rendered by the Wizard. The author may then return to the menu-driven utility to select a second layout for the document. The Wizard renders a document in the second layout and a program module known as a Page Manager automatically applies the author's changes to the document and renders a content-filled document in the second layout.
