Abstract

A method is provided for rewrapping text when changing from a first to a second zoom level when displaying an electronic document. The line length at which to rewrap the text is chosen such that no horizontal scrolling becomes necessary. Since the rewrapping may result in a change to the layout of the document, the method may further include identifying an element in the electronic document and ensuring that the element is included in the display after a zooming-in or zooming-out operation. Also described is a device configured to perform the method and a computer program including instructions for performing the method when executed by a computing device.
