1. In an integrated multiple data editor of the type which produces a compound document having diverse text and/or non-text objects positioned on the same page or on the preceding or succeeding page of the document, said editor manipulating object sets containing said objects wherein each object set has a data structure for its type including data which points to the previous and next object sets and each object set data structure has a unique identification used in paging data, said object sets each having objects of the same type residing therein and being delineated by displayable icons indicating the object set type, the method of implicitly creating a superblock data structure containing data which points to two or more object set data structures for object sets positioned so that the object sets overlap one another, reside side-by-side or extend above or below one another so that the document may be formatted by manipulating the superblock data structure as a single entity as if it were an object set data structure without taking into consideration the complexity inside the superblock data structure except when a page end decision must be made, the process of implicitly creating said superblock data structure comprising the steps of: selecting a location within a first object set where a second object set is to be added, and adding said second object set at the selected location and creating said superblock data structure as an object set data structure while retaining the data structures of said first and second object sets within said superblock data structure.
1. In an integrated multiple data editor of the type which produces a compound document having diverse text and/or non-text objects positioned on the same page or on the preceding or succeeding page of the document, said editor manipulating object sets containing said objects wherein each object set has a data structure for its type including data which points to the previous and next object sets and each object set data structure has a unique identification used in paging data, said object sets each having objects of the same type residing therein and being delineated by displayable icons indicating the object set type, the method of implicitly creating a superblock data structure containing data which points to two or more object set data structures for object sets positioned so that the object sets overlap one another, reside side-by-side or extend above or below one another so that the document may be formatted by manipulating the superblock data structure as a single entity as if it were an object set data structure without taking into consideration the complexity inside the superblock data structure except when a page end decision must be made, the process of implicitly creating said superblock data structure comprising the steps of: selecting a location within a first object set where a second object set is to be added, and adding said second object set at the selected location and creating said superblock data structure as an object set data structure while retaining the data structures of said first and second object sets within said superblock data structure. 7. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the step of adding comprises the steps of: pasting said second object set of type text, image, graphics or data from a paste buffer to said selected location; and linking said second object set of type text, image, graphics or data from another location to said selected location.
