The insertion marker is displayed on a screen of the computer system at an insertion point in displayed text corresponding to a string of text information. The insertion initiater is operative to detect a selection of the insertion marker with a the pointer mechanism of the computer system and to provide an insertion menu on the screen that includes a number of insertion labels. The insertion implementer is responsive to a selection of an insertion label with the pointer and is operative to insert an insertion string corresponding to the selection into the string of text information. A method for inserting an insertion string into a string of text information on a computer system includes the steps of displaying an insertion marker on a screen of the computer system, detecting a selection of the insertion marker with a pointer mechanism of the computer system and providing an insertion menu including a number of insertion labels in response thereto, and detecting a selection of an insertion label and inserting an insertion string corresponding to this selection into the string of text information.Other References
