A method for synchronizing the contents of a line-oriented text document and a stream-oriented text document. The line-oriented text document has a sequence number area. The line-oriented text document listens for a change in the content of the stream-oriented text document and vice versa. When a change is detected in one document, listening in the other document is suspended and a complementary document change is implemented in the other document. Document adjustments resulting from such a complementary change are listened for separately, and echoed similarly into the original document.
