Method, system, and storage medium for providing web-based electronic research and presentation functions via a document creation application

Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method and storage medium for providing web-based electronic research and presentation. The method includes scanning an active document on a computer to identify relevant keywords, searching a database for reference materials relating to the relevant keywords, and displaying relevant reference materials on the computer. The method also includes integrating process software for providing the web-based electronic research and presentation functions via a document creation application. The integration includes determining if the process software will execute on a server, identifying an address of the server, checking the server for operating systems, applications, and version numbers for validation with the process software, and identifying any missing applications required for integration. The integration also includes updating the server with respect to any operating system and application that is not validated, providing any missing applications for the server, and installing the process software on the server.
