         27 . The method of  claim 24 , further comprising
 displaying a visual document structure indicator pane representative of underlying structure of the displayed content based in part on control data included in the data file;   updating the visual document structure indicator pane to include an element indicative of the designated micro content;   displaying content of the designated micro content in a What You See Is What You Get editor pane for processing content of the micro content in a center area of a second display pane;   displaying underlying structure of the micro content in a visual document structure indicator pane for processing the underlying structure of the micro content in a second area of the second display pane; and   displaying the phrase in a format for processing the association in a third display pane coupled to the second display pane.   
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the plurality of references are one of data of the micro content itself, a link to the micro content, executable code and a pointer to the micro content. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 27 , further comprising updating the reference indicative of the associated micro content based on the processed content or processed underlying structure of the micro content. 
     
     
         30 . A system for processing a document to create micro content, the system comprising:
 at least one memory
 storing the document as a data file comprising content data, and 
 storing instructions for processing the document; and 
   at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to execute the method of  claim 21 .   
     
     
         31 . The system of  claim 30 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to compile the association in part by traversing the association in at least one memory data file to generate a phrase map folder comprising at least the plurality of phrases and the plurality of references. 
     
     
         32 . The system of  claim 30 , wherein the reference indicative of the associated micro content is at least one of a link to the associated micro content and the associated micro content. 
     
     
         33 . The system of  claim 30 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to
 generate and display a graphical user interface comprising one or more display panes,   display content of the document in a first display pane based on executing the content data stored in the at least one memory,   the designated micro content being a portion of the displayed content selected according to user input in the first display pane, and   update the data file based on the selected portion of the displayed content.
