display the information indicative of the part of the second document on the display when the edited part is selected.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of second documents different from the first document are open on the document display application when the first document is edited; and

the processor is configured to associate information indicative of one of the plurality of second documents with an edited part of the first document in a case where at least part of the one of the plurality of second documents is copied to the first document.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

associate information indicative of an in-page part of the one of the plurality of second documents with the edited part, the in-page part being a part within a page of the one of the plurality of second documents; and

display the information indicative of the one of the plurality of second documents including the information indicative of the in-page part on the display when the edited part is selected.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to display the second document in which the in-page part is emphasized on the display when the edited part is selected.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of second documents different from the first document are open on the document display application when the first document is edited;

any one of the plurality of second documents has been already edited so that an attribute is added to at least part thereof; and

the processor is configured to associate information indicative of the one of the plurality of second documents with an edited part of the first document in a case where an attribute of the same kind as the attribute that has been already added to the at least part of the one of the plurality of second documents is added to the edited part of the first document that has the same contents as the at least part of the one of the plurality of second documents.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

associate information indicative of an in-page part of the one of the plurality of second documents with the edited part of the first document, the in-page part being a part within a page of the one of the plurality of second documents; and

display information indicative of the one of the plurality of second documents including the information indicative of the in-page part on the display when the edited part is selected.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

the processor is configured to display the second document in which the in-page part is emphasized on the display when the edited part is selected.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of second documents different from the first document are open on the document display application when the first document is edited; and

the processor is configured to associate information indicative of a second document designated by an editor among the plurality of second documents with an edited part of the first document.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured not to associate the information indicative of the second document with the edited part depending on what kind of edit has been made to the first document.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a memory in which a work document storage region is defined, the work document storage region being a region in which documents used for work which an operator is currently tackling are stored, and the documents stored in the work document storage region being displayed concurrently on the display,

wherein the processor is configured to associate information indicative of the second document stored in the work document storage region with the edited part in a case where the first document is stored in the work document storage region.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

determining a first document is being edited;

determining whether a second document is open on a document display application at the same time as the editing of the first document; and

in response to determining that the second document is open at the same time as the editing of the first document:

determining whether an edited part of the first document is in the second document;

associating, with the edited part of the first document displayed on a display, information indicative of a second document different from the first document,

the information being associated with the edited part of the first document and indicative of the second document comprising at least one of (1) a file path, (2) view mode information including a mode in which the second document was open when the first document was edited, and (3) a part of the second document that was open when the first document was edited; and

displaying the information indicative of the second document on the display when the edited part of the first document is selected.

13. An information processing apparatus comprising:

processor means for:
