File formats, methods, and computer program products are provided for representing a document in a modular content framework. The modular content framework may include a file format container associated with modular parts. A file format includes logically separate modular parts that are associated with each other by one or more relationships where each modular part is associated with a relationship type. The modular parts include a document part operative as a guide for properties of the document. The modular parts may also include a document properties part containing built-in properties associated with the file format and a thumbnail part containing associated thumbnails. Each modular part is capable of being interrogated separately, extracted from the document, and/or reused in a different document.
A file format for representing a document created by a word processing application, the file format representing the document in a modular content framework implemented within a computing apparatus, the file format comprising:
A method for representing a document in a file format wherein modular parts associated with the document include each part written into the file format, the method comprising:
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium having control logic stored therein for causing a computer to represent a document in a file format comprising modular parts wherein the modular parts of the file format include each part written into the file format, the control logic comprising computer-readable program code for causing the computer to:
