Various areas of a displayed document (e.g., text, image, etc.) may be selected and clipped as a separate document. In some arrangements, a user may wish to change the area of the clipped area without having to retrieve the displayed document again. Accordingly, the area of the clipped region may be modified by retrieving and storing the displayed document when the region is initially clipped. When the selected region is to be modified at a later time, the stored document may be used instead of having to retrieve the document from a source location.
