Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Summary) An input section for inputting characters, a document processing section for analyzing characters input from the input section and editing a document, and a document storage section for storing document information in each document. Regarding a document processing device having a display unit that displays a document, when creating a vertically written document, by displaying the vertically written document vertically on the screen, the vertically written document can be checked on the screen in the same way as the horizontally written document. In order to provide a document processing device that can perform vertical writing, the present invention includes a vertical writing input analysis means that analyzes input characters from an input section and creates a document related to vertical writing display, and a display section that displays the display range of the vertical writing document. a vertical text frame display processing unit that performs processing to display the document created by the vertical text input analysis means in vertical text on the display unit; a vertical writing information storage processing unit that performs editing processing for storing information in the vertical writing information storage unit;
This configuration includes a vertical writing information storage section that stores vertical writing information.

(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document processing device that creates and edits documents, in which document data created in vertical writing can be displayed vertically and checked on the screen. This relates to display methods.

Document processing functions for creating and editing documents are provided not only by word processors that specialize in document processing, but also as a function of personal computers.

Documents created with such document processing devices are not necessarily created in horizontal writing, but are diverse, such as those created in vertical writing, and those created by a mixture of horizontal and vertical writing.

Therefore, there is a need for a vertical writing document processing device that can create a vertically written document while checking the positional relationship within the document on the screen in the same way as a horizontally written document.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a document processing device has an input section 71, a document processing section 72 for editing documents, a document storage section 73 for storing document information, a display section 74, and a printing section 75, as shown in FIG. It is configured.

There are two conventional methods for creating vertically written documents. One is a process in which a document created in horizontal writing is converted to vertical writing when printing, and the entire document is written in vertical writing. The other method is to input "vertical writing control characters" into a part of the document from the input unit 71, and then print that part by converting it from horizontal writing to vertical writing, as in the former case.

A conventional method for processing vertically written documents will be explained based on FIG.

First, in step S81, a character string is input from the keyboard of the input section 71. If it is desired to write that part vertically, a "vertical writing start control character" is input as a character string at the beginning of the character string in step S82. Then, in step S83, a "vertical writing end control character" is inputted at the end of the portion desired to be written vertically. The document created in steps S81 to S83 is displayed on the display section 74 in step S84 as a horizontally written document containing "vertical writing control characters."

In step S86, document editing processing is performed in the document processing unit 72, and thereafter, the processing in steps S81 to S84 is continued until the end key is pressed.

Finally, when the end key is pressed in step S85.

In step S87, the edited document is stored in the document storage section 73 in horizontal writing format.

In the following step S8B, if there is a character string surrounded by "vertical writing control characters" during the printing process, this portion is converted from horizontal writing to vertical writing and printed by the printing unit 75.

Conventionally, vertically written documents have been checked using printed materials.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in order to proofread a vertically written document using conventional technology, it is necessary to create the vertically written document once in horizontally written format, store it in a document file, print the document in vertically written form using print processing, and then create it again in the vertically written format. , it was necessary to select the document editing process and make corrections.

By the way, in the present invention, when creating and editing a vertically written document, it is possible to check the vertically written document on the screen in the same way as the horizontally written document without performing the extra processing of storing the document in a document file and printing it. It was developed for the purpose of providing a document processing device.
