Abstract
A method of replacing portions of one revisable form document in a shared library with that of another is disclosed. This invention provides a COPY command with options for specifying objects in a revisable form document to be used during a replace operation. The replace option allows the replacement of the document content and profile information of an existing document with the content and profile of another existing document. The document to be replaced maintains the same library assigned document name instead of having a new one created. The document to be replaced may exist in a folder and is required only to be in a revisable form state. The document used to replace the document content and profile remains unchanged after the replace operation is completed.
