ABSTRACT:
A method of displaying text having improved useability is described which overcomes the difficulty of losing eye contact with an occurrence of a word in a line of text as the display is changed from one of disparate lines in one or more files to a new view of a single one of those disparate lines shown in context with the lines surrounding it in the file displayed above and below the selected occurrence. The display of the surrounding text in this way gives the illusion that the surrounding lines in the file were "filled-in" around the chosen line, such that the eye of the user does not have to move and re-locate the text of interest, since the text has not moved on the physical display screen.
