FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between one document 21 and each page 20 that constitutes the document 21.

In this example, four pages constitute one document.

In FIG. 4, the configuration of this embodiment will be explained step by step using three scenes. The four pages of the document 21 in FIG. 3 are arranged side by side, as shown in FIG. 4(a). At this time, the keyboard 5 and the pointing device 6 are used to instruct the operator to edit one page of the 1st page, 3rd page, and 14th page in this document, and then edit the other designated pages in the same way. Thereafter, the first page is displayed on the display 2 and the first document information 22 is pasted onto the page. This situation is shown in Fig. 4(b). Then, according to the above specification, the document information 22 is similarly pasted at the same position t on the third and fourth pages. This state is shown in FIG. 4(c).

In this way, it is extremely easy to make the same edits to multiple pages.

<Explanation of Processing Procedure (FIG. 5)> The configuration and principle of the above-described embodiment can be summarized as shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5.

Hereinafter, the CPU of this embodiment will be explained according to this flowchart.
The I/O control process will be explained.

First, pasting is done by cutting out the document information in step S1 at the beginning of the process, or by using the image scanner 3 or external storage device η.
By reading the document information from , the document information to be pasted on the page is stored in the RAM 12 . and,
In step S2, an edit processing mode is input from the keyboard, and in step S3, it is determined whether execution of pasting processing has been specified depending on whether a specific key has been pressed. If execution of the pasting process is not instructed, the process returns to the previous process of this embodiment. If execution of the pasting process is instructed, enter information again from the keyboard in step 4, and instruct which page of which document is to be edited in the same way by pressing a specific key or using the numeric keypad (step S5).
). Next, in step S6, document information of one of the pages selected in step S5 is displayed on the display 2. Here, the page with the lowest number is displayed. Then, in step S7, the pasting data prepared in step Sl is pasted onto the currently displayed page. Specifically, a cursor that moves in conjunction with the pointing device 6 is displayed on the display 2''2, and the cursor is moved to the upper left corner of the page''2 at the desired pasting position. At this time, turning on the button on the pointing device 6 instructs to paste the document information at the current cursor position, and displays the document information with the pasted data on the display 2.
It is expanded to RAM and displayed. Then, the same pasting process is automatically performed internally on all pages selected in step S5 and stored in the RAM 12 (step S8). Here, whether or not to continue pasting processing is determined by pressing a specific key on the keyboard 5 in step S9. If it is desired to continue the process, the process returns to step S7 and the above-described process is repeated. If you wish to end the process, return to the process prior to the process of this embodiment.

Further, if the page to be pasted is designated in step S5, or if only the document is designated and the page designation is omitted, the pasting process is performed on all pages of the designated document.

Furthermore, if a plurality of documents are specified and pages are specified, the pasting process is performed on the same specified page of each specified document.

<Description of Second Embodiment (FIG. 6)> In the embodiment described above, image data is pasted as editing processing, and the processing is similarly executed on other pages. By the way, since any editing process may be performed, the process when character information is written will be explained.
