Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus, and particularly to a sheet size, a sheet direction, a margin, a character interval, a line interval, and a column required when a document is created. The present invention relates to a document creation device that can easily set format information such as the number of sets. [0002] In a document creation work in a normal business,
Format information such as paper size, paper direction, margins, character spacing, line spacing, number of columns, vertical and horizontal writing, etc., is often determined in advance depending on the individual who creates the document and the type of document to be created. is there. [0003] However, in the conventional document creation apparatus, the same format information is used almost every time before the document data is input at the time of document creation, but the format information has to be input every time, which is difficult to use. In order to remedy this drawback, standard format information is stored in advance as described in JP-A-56-152075, and if no format information is input, the standard format information is used. In some cases, documents were created. [0004] However, in this method, the stored standard format information is fixed, and when a document is created using a format other than the stored format information, the format is not changed every time. I had to re-enter the information. Further, in order to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks, there is a type in which user-specific user format information can be set and stored in advance in addition to the previously stored standard format information. I could only remember. An object of the present invention is to provide a document creator capable of easily setting a plurality of format information according to the type of a document created by each operator in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and having good operability. . In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input unit for inputting document data, a storage unit for storing the input document data, and displaying the document data. in document creation apparatus and a display unit, given the written expression setting means to set the I Risho type information to the input of the operator, before Kisho plurality of format information and identification name set by expression setting means , and format storing means for storing a plurality of book type information format is predetermined, an identification name assigning means for assigning the identifier to the book type information that will be stored in the format storage unit, stored in the format storage unit and priority setting means for prioritizing information to that book type information, the format

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, wherein 1 is a keyboard, 2 is a control device, 3 is an external storage device, 4 is a display device, 5 is RAM, 6 is ROM, and 7 is The printing device 8 is a bus line. The keyboard 1 is a part for inputting format information and document data for creating a document. As shown in FIG. 4, a character key 18, a format setting key 9 required for inputting format information, and a format change key 10, a new document creation key 11 required when creating a document, and various control keys such as an execution key. The control device 2 performs various controls in accordance with information input from the keyboard 1.
, The document data stored in the document buffer 17, the document data stored in the external storage device 3, the document data displayed on the display device 4, the printing device 7 printed, and the keyboard 1. Is stored in the format buffer 16 or stored in the external storage device 3. The external storage device 3 is controlled by the control device 2 so as to store the contents of a document buffer 17 for storing document data input from the keyboard 1 and a format buffer 16 for storing format information with an identification name. In the part to be controlled, preset fixed format information is stored for each sheet size. The display device 4 controls the display so that the document data input from the keyboard 1 is displayed, and when the user format information is newly set or changed, the user format information input from the keyboard 1 is displayed. It is controlled by the device 2. As shown in FIG. 5, a document buffer 1 for storing document data inputted from the keyboard 1 is stored in the RAM 5.
7, a format buffer 16 for storing format information currently used for document creation, an identification name of the format information, and priority information. As the priority information, in this embodiment, 1 is set for the format information having the highest priority, and 0 is set for the other format information. The ROM 6 stores data indicating a processing procedure in the control device 2. The printing device 7 is controlled by the control device 2 so that document data input from the keyboard 1 is printed according to the format information currently stored in the format buffer 16. Hereinafter, the operation will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. If the user-specific user format information is not yet stored in the external storage device 3, the most standard information, for example, A4 format, among the standard format information stored in the external storage device 3 in advance for each paper size. In the standard format information corresponding to the size, 1 is set in advance as priority information. When a document is created by using the fixed-format information having the highest priority, the controller 2 first presses a new document creation key 11 on the keyboard, and the controller 2 proceeds to step 3.
In step 31, the input is determined. In step 32, the fixed format information having the highest priority is read out from the external storage device 3 and stored in the format buffer 16. Next, the control device 2 proceeds to step 33 and moves to the document buffer 1.
7 is displayed on the display device. At this time, since nothing has been input from the keyboard 1 to the document buffer 17, no document data is displayed on the display device 4. Here, when the document data is input by the character keys 18 of the keyboard 1, the control device 2 inputs it in step 34, judges the input in step 35, and stores the input data in the document buffer 17 in step 36. , Step 33
And the document data is displayed on the display device in accordance with the format information stored in the format buffer 16. After all the document data has been input from the keyboard 1 in this manner, the user presses a print key 14 provided on the keyboard 1 so that the document corresponding to the highest-priority standard format information stored in the format buffer 16 is entered. Is printed by the printing device 7, and a target document is created. When the registration key 15 provided on the keyboard 1 is pressed, the control device 2 stores the contents of the document buffer 17 in the external storage device 3. When the operator wants to create a document based on his or her own user format information, he first presses the format setting key 9 on the keyboard 1 and the processing of the control device 2 moves from step 31 to step 38 via step 37 to step 38. The format information having the highest priority is read from the external storage device 3 and stored in the format buffer 16. Next, step 40
Then, the priority information of the format information is rewritten to 0 and stored in the external storage device 3. Next, the control device 2 executes step 41
Then, the current contents of the format buffer 16, that is, the paper size, paper orientation, margin, character spacing, number of columns and identification name, and their data are displayed on the display device 4 as shown in FIG. Here, for each item of the displayed format information having a correction, when the target format information and its identification name are input by the cursor keys 13 and the character keys 18 provided on the keyboard 1, the input is performed. After step 42 and determination step 43, the process proceeds to step 46, where the input data is stored in the format buffer 16 and sequentially displayed. Here, when the execution key 12 provided on the keyboard 1 is depressed, the process proceeds from step 43 to step 44, where the priority information of the format buffer 16 is rewritten to 1, and further proceeds to step 45, where the contents of the format buffer 16 are stored. Is stored in the external storage device 3. Therefore, when a new document is created next time, that is, when the new document creation key 11 is depressed, the format buffer 16 stores the most recently stored format information. Will be created. Next, when it becomes necessary to create a different type of document from the document created up to the previous time, that is, when using format information other than the format information having the highest priority up to the previous time, First, when the new document creation key 11 on the keyboard 1 is pressed, the processing of the control device 2 proceeds to step 32 through steps 30 and 31 and reads out the format information having the highest priority from the external storage device 3.
The data is stored in the format buffer 16. Further, in step 33, the contents of the format buffer 16 are displayed on the display device 4, and in step 34, the mode for inputting document data from the keyboard 1 is set. Here, when the format change key 10 provided on the keyboard 1 is depressed, the processing of the control device 2 proceeds to step 35.
Then, the process proceeds to step 48 through step 47, and a list of identification names for all the format information stored in the external storage device 3 is displayed on the display device 4 as shown in FIG.
At this time, when a number corresponding to a target identification name is input from the keyboard 1 from among the identification names of the displayed format information and the execution key 12 on the keyboard 1 is pressed,
The process proceeds from step 50 to step 51, where the format information having the target identification name is read from the external storage device 3 and stored in the format buffer 16, and the format buffer 1
The format information stored in 6 is rewritten. Further, the process proceeds to step 52, where the priority information of the format information is rewritten to 0 and stored in the external storage device 3. Next, in step 53, the contents of the format buffer 16 are displayed on the display device 4. Here, if there is an item in the displayed format information that is different from the target format information, the target data is input to the item from the keyboard 1 as described above in step 54, and the identification name can also be changed. The input data can be stored in the format buffer 16 in step 58 and displayed sequentially. Next, when the execution key 12 on the keyboard 1 is depressed, the process proceeds from step 55 to step 56, where the priority of the format buffer 16 is rewritten to 1 and step 57 is executed.
Store the contents of the format buffer 16 in the external storage device 3. Next, returning to step 33, the contents of the document buffer 17 are displayed on the display device 4 in accordance with the format information newly stored in the format buffer 16. In this way, it is possible to create a document of a different type from the document created up to the previous time, and from the next time, a document is created by giving priority to the format information used last. In the present embodiment, the format information used last time is used preferentially from the next time, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it can be easily inferred that priorities may be given according to the frequency of use up to the previous time. As described above, according to the present embodiment,
Standard format information, which is standard format information, is stored in advance for each paper size, and the highest standard format information is given the highest priority among them. Unless format information is input, Since a document is created by automatically setting the format information given the highest priority, there is no need to input any format information as long as this format information is used. Also, when a user wants to create a document in a format other than the standard format information with the highest priority, simply specify the identification name given to the standard format information prepared for each paper size. The target document can be created. Therefore, when creating a document using the fixed format information, the operator does not need to be conscious of the format information at all, and the operation of inputting the format information every time is eliminated and the operability is improved. Further, the operator can set various types of user format information other than the standard format information, and can give and store an easily identifiable identification name by himself. A document can be created using the user format information. Further, the most recently used format information is given the highest priority so as to match the usage tendency of the operator's format information, and if no format information is input, the format information with the highest priority is automatically assigned. Since the document is created with the settings, it is not necessary to specify the format information to be used every time. Therefore, operability is improved, and a document can be created efficiently. According to the present invention, when a new document is created, a high-priority format reflecting the tendency of the operator to use the format information is automatically set. By selecting the displayed identification name, it is possible to easily change the format to a different format, and a document
Equipment can be provided .
