1. A computer-implemented method for providing a first user with a link to a word processing document, the relevancy of the word processing document from the perspective of the first user being determined at least in part on data interactions initiated by a second user, the first user being different than the second user, wherein the method comprises:
- storing, on a computer readable storage medium, a record of a role assumed by the second user within an organization;
receiving, from the second user, a cut command that is a cut portion of a cut-and-paste operation, the cut command causing a removal of a collection of text from a word processing document;
responding to the received cut command by modifying information in a database to indicate a creation or alteration of an association between the second user and the word processing document;
storing a data record that includes an identifier indicating a template as being associated with a particular activity;
receiving from the first user a command to open the template;
preferentially identifying and selecting the word processing document based on a programmed assumption that the first user will be interested in the word processing document because those engaged in the activity are likely to be interested in a document from which a person assigned the role within the organization cut material, wherein identifying comprises referencing the record of the role, the information in the database that indicates creation or alteration of the association, and the data record that includes the identifier indicating the template;
utilizing the computer processor to preferentially provide, based on the programmed assumption and in response to the received command to open the template, the first user with the link to the word processing document by visibly rendering the link as part of a graphical user interface displayed to the first user on a display.

8. A computer-implemented method for providing a first user with a link to a word processing document, the relevancy of the word processing document from the perspective of the first user being determined at least in part on data interactions initiated by a second user, the first user being different than the second user, wherein the method comprises:
-
receiving, from the second user, a copy command that is a copy portion of a copy-and-paste operation, the copy command causing a capture of a collection of text from a word processing document; responding to the received copy command by modifying information in a database to indicate a creation or alteration of an association between the second user and the word processing document; utilizing a computer processor that is a component of the computer to preferentially identify and select the word processing document based on a programmed assumption that the first user will be interested in the word processing document because the first user is likely to be interested in documents from which the second user has copied text, wherein identifying comprises referencing the information in the database that indicates creation or alteration of the association; and utilizing the computer processor to preferentially provide, based on the programmed assumption and in response to the received command to open the template, the first user with the link to the word processing document by visibly rendering the link as part of a graphical user interface displayed to the first user on a display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17)

15. A computer-implemented method for providing a first user with a link to a word processing document, the relevancy of the word processing document from the perspective of the first user being determined at least in part on data interactions initiated by a second user, the first user being different than the second user, wherein the method comprises:
-
receiving, from the second user, a cut command that is a cut portion of a cut-and-paste operation, the cut command causing a capture of a collection of text from a source word processing document; receiving, from the second user, a paste command that is a paste portion of the cut-and-paste operation, the paste command causing an insertion of the collection of text into a destination word processing document; responding to the received cut command by modifying information in a database to indicate a creation or alteration of a first association between the second user and the source document; responding to the received paste command by modifying information in the database to indicate a creation or alteration of a second association between the source and destination word processing documents; utilizing a computer processor that is a component of the computer to preferentially identify and select the destination word processing document based on a programmed assumption that the user is likely to be interested in the source document because it is associated with the second user, and that the user is likely to be interested in the destination document because it is associated with the source document, wherein identifying comprises referencing the information in the database that indicates creation or alteration of the first and second associations; and utilizing the computer processor to preferentially provide, based on the programmed assumption, the first user with the link to the word processing document by visibly rendering the link as part of a graphical user interface displayed to the first user on a display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 18, 19, 20, 21)
