ABSTRACT:
Historically, graphics editors, text editors, presentation editors, and word processors provide a number of special processing functions that operate on a presented object as a whole. For word processors, these special functions might include: spelling checks, style (grammar) checks, hyphenation, and pagination. The present invention provides a transparent mechanism for making these special processing functions incremental, in the sense that the mechanisms re-process only those portions of presented objects that have changed since the last time the function was performed.
