Abstract
A system and method processes designating regions in an electronic text to associate with those selected regions freely editable popup windows. In a preferred embodiment, embedded tag delimiters are used to mark out the boundaries of the selected region and the content of the popup window. In an alternative embodiment, keystroke combinations are utilized to associate a selected region in an electronic document with a popup window, and the popup window is then freely editable.
