First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for accessing an out-space user interface for a document editor program, the method comprising:
- displaying an in-space user interface having an out-space actuator associated with the in-space user interface, wherein the in-space user interface includes a document comprising content that is displayed within a document display area that is used in creating and editing a document and a ribbon that displays authoring features for authoring the content of the document including editing;
receiving a selection of the out-space actuator; and
in response to receiving the selection of the out-space actuator, displaying an out-space user interface that comprises non-authoring features that do not affect the content of the document within the document display area, wherein displaying the out-space user interface includes removing the document from the document display area, expanding the display area of the ribbon, removing the authoring features from the ribbon and displaying the non-authoring features within the ribbon.

11. A computer-readable storage medium on a memory device having computer-executable instructions for accessing an out-space user interface for a document editor program, the instructions comprising:
-
providing an in-space user interface having an out-space actuator associated with the in-space user interface, wherein the in-space user interface includes displaying a document and a ribbon that displays authoring features for authoring and editing the content of the document; receiving a selection of the out-space actuator; and in response to receiving the selection of the out-space actuator, displaying an out-space user interface, wherein displaying the out-space user interface includes expanding a display area of the ribbon and displaying a non-live document image of the document, wherein the expanded ribbon includes non-authoring features that do not affect the content of the document. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for accessing an out-space user interface for a program, the instructions comprising:
-
a processor; a display; and a memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer-executable instructions are configured to; display an in-space user interface having an out-space actuator associated with the in-space user interface, wherein the in-space user interface includes an information display area and an in-space feature selection surface that includes a display of authoring features of the document including editing; receive a selection of the out-space actuator; and in response to receiving the selection of the out-space actuator, display an out-space user interface, wherein the out-space user interface includes an in-space image and an out-space feature selection surface that comprises non-authoring features that has a larger area than the in-space feature selection surface, wherein selecting the in-space image redisplays the in-space user interface. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
