Abstract
Adapting an interface for a word processor includes automatically switching to a focus mode in response to detecting that a user is entering text into a document being entered for a first amount of time, where in the focus mode, a window of the word processor shows only text of the document and includes automatically switching to a perspective mode in response to detecting that a user has stopped entering text for a second amount of time, where in the perspective mode, the window of the word processor includes user-actuated controls to apply formatting to the document, save the document, and import non-textual objects into the document. The second amount of time may vary according to whether a user is looking at the window of the word processor. Font size may be enlarged when the word processor is in the focus mode.
