Abstract
A method and system through which an application program can access textual data through a common text accessing interface. The system provides a hierarchy of interfaces through which various text manipulation functions can be accessed. These functions control the editing and displaying of text. The hierarchy of interfaces include an interface for manipulating a document and for manipulating a range of characters within the document. By using these interfaces, a server can expose its text to various clients.
