Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To combine an existing object by accepting a choice of the existing object to be combined, defining a retrieved method and an attribute by applying a composition rule, and storing a reference code in the composite object. SOLUTION: The choice of the existing object to be combined is accepted (302) and the method and attribute of the selected object are retrieved (304). Here, the composition rule is applied to the retrieved method and attribute for the selected object to define the method and attribute for the combined object (306). The attribute or method of the combined object can be corrected (308). When the method or attribute of the combined object should not be corrected, the reference code to the combined method and attribute is stored in its composite object (312). To generate a composite business object, other elements, i.e., a key and a data object are defined (314).
Abstract:
A method to control the printing of documents created by interactive text processing systems so that the document image is positioned on the paper in the same location when the document is printed by two different printers with different paper positioning parameters. The method assists the operator in defining to the system the paper positioning parameters of each printer attached to the system so that the location of the first print position of the printer is established relative to the top and left edges of the paper. The next processing program also establishes the location of the first print (typing) position of the document image on the display relative to the top and left edges of the document image. Printer control codes are developed and sent to the printer which align the edges of the document image with the corresponding edges of the paper at its initial printing position by taking into account the relative locations of the first print positions of the printer and document image.

Abstract:
@ A word processing program is configured to produce a series of examples, for operator examination, of alternative implementations of certain printer functions. By observing the printer performance and physical appearance during the printing of these examples, the operator interactively chooses one of a plurality of implementations for each of these functions. The operator choices of implementation are saved by the word processing program and subsequent printing is effected in accordance with the implementation chosen by the operator.
