Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0188748A2] The invention relates to a method for producing an output document (7) in a computer system, in which at least one application (1) is run that generates useful data (3) depending on events. The output document (7) represents a useful content formed by the useful data (3) and a predetermined formal content. A master layout (5) is associated with the event and contains design guidelines (6) for the output document (7) that lay down on the basis of which formal data (8) the formal content and on the basis of which useful data (3) the useful content is produced and how the useful data (3) and the formal data (8) are formatted in the output document (7). The design guidelines (6) of the master layout (5) are processed and the required formal data (8) are retrieved from a data bank and the required useful data (3) are taken over from the respective application (1). Components of a standard program with text processing are used to format the formal data (8) and the useful data (3). The formatted formal data (8) and the useful data (3) are processed for an output type, using components of a standard operating system.
