    Abstract: method for editing data stored in a word processing system in a table entry format. Means are provided for operator selection and definition of a top reference area (178, 212, 222) for displaying table column headings or a side reference area (186, 196, 204, 208, 220, 226, 234) for displaying table row entry headings, or both. A vertical separator column (184) of video-reverse spaces separates the display screen into left and right viewports, when a side reference is defined. A horizontal separator bar (176) of video-reverse spaces separates the display screen into top and bottom viewpoints when a top reference is defined. Means are also provided for scrolling the displayed side reference area headings in synchronism with the scrolling of the editable portion of the table, and segmenting the top reference area headings in synchronism with the segmenting of the portion of the editable table entries.
