This disclosure provides a data recording system and, in particular, an electronic digitizing clipboard and a remote computer. A stylus of the clipboard is used to write on pages, with a digitizer underneath the pages generating an electronic record of entered marks for storage and later recreation of the pages. The electronic record represents both stylus spatial coordinates, normally sampled every ten milliseconds, certain user commands such as page identification, inserted at significant locations within the aggregate data stream, or other data, for example, audio data from a built-in microphone. Data in the stream is associated with prior page identification commands, such that subsequent data may be cut or sorted based upon timing of that data relative to the page identification commands. In this manner, data may be distinguished and moved by a "splicing" mechanism, notwithstanding any spatial overlap with previous stylus data.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A data recording apparatus adapted for creating plural pages or forms of data in a format adapted for editing by a remote editor, comprising:an input device selectively operated by a user to enter a first sequence of data representing spatial coordinates;a command mechanism selectively used to command a first change from a first one of the plural pages or forms of data to a second one of the plural pages or forms of data and adapted to command a second change, back to the first one of the pages or forms; andone of software, firmware and hardware that inserts command codes representing the changes at locations within the first sequence of data dependent upon the relative timing between commands of change by the user and individual ones of the data, such that a second sequence of data is produced which includes both data representing spatial coordinates and at least two inserted commands;wherein the inserted commands are adapted to permit the remote editor to subsequently distinguish, based on the second sequence, data intended by the user for different ones of the plural pages or forms, notwithstanding any possible spatial overlap of represented by the data, based upon relative timing of inserted commands relative to data of the first sequence.
