In an approach for generating a file, a computer provides a selection window associated with a second file, wherein the selection window is at least partially transparent and at least partially overlays an opened first file. The computer identifies content within the opened first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file. The computer transfers a copy of the identified content within the opened first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file, wherein the opened first file does not incorporate changes that are made within the second file.

File generator

In an approach for generating a file, a computer opens a first file within application software that includes content. The computer receives an indication to generate a second file based on the opened first file and an indication of a file format for the second file. The computer provides a selection window associated with the second file, wherein the selection window is at least partially transparent and at least partially overlays the opened first file. The computer identifies content within the first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file. The computer transfers a copy of the identified content within the first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file.

A user interface for a touchscreen display device including a technique for cursor positioning, with respect to: (i) a touchscreen display upon which the cursor is displayed; and (ii) displayable content (also sometimes herein referred to as a 'display area') which is also, at least in part, displayed on the touchscreen display. Based on a desired position to which the activated display area is moved while a cursor remains static on the display screen, a placement position at which the cursor is to be placed with respect to the displayable content is determined.
