Abstract

A method for content checking a document, the method including: if the document is a word processing document then: determining if a profile category has been associated with the word processing document; if a profile category has not been associated with the word processing document, applying a default profile rule to perform the content checking; if a profile category has been associated with the word processing document, accessing a user-defined profile rule and applying the user-defined profile rule to perform the content checking; if the document is an email then: determining a profile category for each recipient of the email; determining a profile rule associated with each recipient of the email in response to the profile category; selecting one of the profile rules based on a rank of the profile rules; applying the selected profile rule to perform the content checking of the email.

Claims

1. A method for content checking a document, the method comprising:

if the document is a word processing document then;

determining if a profile category has been associated with the word processing document;

if a profile category has not been associated with the word processing document, applying a default profile rule to perform the content checking;

if a profile category has been associated with the word processing document, accessing a user-defined profile rule and applying the user-defined profile rule to perform the content checking;

if the document is an email then;

determining a profile category for each recipient of the email;

determining a profile rule associated with each recipient of the email in response to the profile category;

selecting one of the profile rules based on a rank of the profile rules;

applying the selected profile rule to perform the content checking of the email.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein:

determining the profile rule associated with each recipient of the email includes identifying a default profile rule for email recipients not associated with a profile category.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein:

the rank of the profile rules is determined in response to a level of content checking performed by the profile rule, a higher ranked profile rule implementing more content checking than a lower ranked profile rule.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein:

selecting one of the profile rules based on the rank of the profile rules includes selecting the profile rule having the highest rank.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the email recipient is an individual.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the email recipient is a group.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the content checking is spell checking.
