Application ID: 14882786

Base Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon for propagating changes to copied text that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause a computing system to at least: monitor changes to text copied into multiple documents, the copied text having been copied from a previous document; determine that a same deletion and different insertions have been made to the copied text in at least a threshold number of documents, the threshold number being greater than one; and prompt the same deletion and a new insertion to be made to the copied text in a subsequent document based on the determination that the same deletion and different insertions have been made to the copied text in at least the threshold number of documents.

Claim 2:
2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein: the instructions are further configured to cause the computing system to increment a change counter each time the same deletion is made to an instance of the copied text in a different document; and the determining that the same deletion has been made to the copied text in at least the threshold number of documents includes comparing the change counter to the threshold number.
