Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02084472A1] A method is provided for guiding a user through a multi-step process on a computer-generated display. Layered dialogs are displayed, including a currently active dialog and remaining dialogs. Each dialog provides text for guiding the user through a corresponding step. After the current step is completed, the currently active dialog is removed so that a remaining dialog is viewable, for guiding the user through an additional step. Additionally, a method for displaying a text string in a computer-generated dialog includes storing the text string (316) as a number of tokens (e.g., words), determining widths of lines (320) in the dialog in which text is to be written, and determining which tokens are to be displayed on which line so that a boundary of the dialog is not exceeded. The line widths may be determined based on chord widths (324) of the dialog according to the dialog's geometry.
