                 Application 07/854,921                                                                                                                


                 include a user selected format of the second presentation.                                                                            
                                   Accordingly, we reverse the rejection of claim 17                                                                   
                 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as anticipated by Conrad.                                                                                       
                                   As regards claims 18-22, we note that Appellant has                                                                 
                 indicated on page 6, section VII, of the brief that claims 18-                                                                        
                 22 are grouped together.  We further note that Appellant has                                                                          
                 argued all the claims in this group together  and based upon                  24                                                      
                 the same arguments.   In accordance with 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7),25                                                                                                  
                 it will be presumed that the rejected claims stand or fall                                                                            
                 together unless there is a statement otherwise, and in the                                                                            
                 appropriate part or parts of the arguments Appellant presents                                                                         
                 specific reasons as to why Appellant considers the rejected                                                                           
                 claims to be separately                                                                                                               


                 patentable.  We will, thereby, consider claims 18-22 as                                                                               
                 standing or falling together.                                                                                                         
                                   In regard to claims 18-22, Appellant asserts that
