The interface loads document data into a separate template which defines various fields, and the interface determines the fields that should be displayed based on the information entered by the user. The user enters an unlimited amount of data into each field, thus creating a free-flowing document, and the user can create groups of entries for each field. The interface also contains a data validation and error correction feature, that provides automatic correction, prompts for manual correction, and allows the user to save a draft document with a list of errors for future correction at a later date. | InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 165354 filed on 10/02/1998US Classes:715/505, Form715/500, PRESENTATION PROCESSING OF DOCUMENT715/506, Form creation715/508Fitting data into field on formExaminersPrimary: Feild, Joseph H.Assistant: Kindred, Alford W.
