Abstract
A user edits text in a draft document by providing input including left and right 'anchor' text and replacement text. In response, a document editing system identifies an instance of the left anchor text followed by the right anchor text in the draft document, and replaces text between these instances with the replacement text specified by the user. For example, the user may type a string containing the left anchor text followed by the replacement text followed by the right anchor text, in response to which the system may perform the replacement just described. As a result, the user may specify both the location of, and a correction for, text in the draft document without using cursor keys or other navigation commands to navigate to the location of the text to be corrected, thereby increasing correction efficiency by avoiding the delay associated with such manual navigation.
