:: Overview of the system ::
The Figure below illustrates iPad interface. It consists of 5 parts: Document
Editor frame, Insert Tag frame, Document Browser frame, Tool bar, and Message
bar.
- Documents (i.e., notes, reports, etc.) are displayed and edited in the Document
Editor frame.

document by clicking on the desired tag in the Insert Tag frame, and the tag

in the Document Editor frame the part of the document labelled by the selected
tag.

shortcut buttons.
