A computer system for automatically converting a scrollable electronic
document, including text, graphics, tables and combinations, from a
scrollable format to a non-scrollable format, the system comprising a
page-forming mechanism configured to operatively and automatically arrange
the scrollable electronic information document into a plurality of
non-scrollable pages, each having one or more columns wherein each of the
columns has a width corresponding to a number of characters per line
within a predetermined range of characters per line, a content formatter
mechanism configured to be operatively responsive to embedded formatting
commands, either common word-processing commands or html commands or both;
a font-sizing mechanism configured to operatively permit a user to
selectively alter the size of the characters comprising the non-scrollable
pages; an image sizing mechanism configured either to automatically alter
the widths of graphic images and tables in the electronic document to
proportionately conform to the width of the columns, or to reduce the
graphic images and tables to selectively expandable icons positioned in
the display; a screen having a display window configured to entirely
display a selected one of the non-scrollable pages; and a page-turning
mechanism configured to selectively, sequentially and individually display
the plurality of non-scrollable pages in the display window. A method is
provided for practicing the system.
