Abstract

A system for composing storyline content in multiple productivity applications is provided. The productivity applications are each configured with an authoring pane and a storyline pane. Each productivity application has an authoring pane configured to display and edit the contents of a particular file type. Portions of the content displayed in the authoring pane are selected for the purposes of composing a presentation and the selected content is displayed in the storyline pane. The storyline pane of each application is synchronized to enable users to work within each application and view a current version of the presentation that is being composed while also viewing authored content specific to each application. The selected content displayed in a storyline pane can be used to generate formatted storyline data. The storyline data can be in a Web-based format, a presentation file, a multi-frame image file, a video file, or any other suitable format.
