Abstract

A computer implemented methods to allow a user to copy content from a rendered document into a target document using a linking command. The target document can be a new document or an existing document, that is not rendered. The copied content can include a link to the document from which the content was copied from. The linking command can be a refer command or a send to file command. A refer command allows a user to copy and paste the content from a rendered document into a target document with text associated with the refer command remaining in the rendered document. A send to file command allows a user to copy and paste the content from a rendered document into a target document with no trace left in the rendered document.
