Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily recognize a finished state on a screen by displaying a pair of spread pages of a form image displayed with reduction when the documents are continuously designated to the left and right pages. CONSTITUTION:A page control means of a CPU 7 displays with reduction a document where the left and right pages are designated. Thus a user can confirm easily a finished state where the document is actually printed and bound. When a document designated in a vertical writing way is displayed with reduction, the next page of a form image is displayed at the left side of the precedent page. Then the vertically written sentences are continuously and laterally arranged on a screen. Thus it is possible to maintain the continuation of sentences and to improve the sentence editing efficiency.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device, such as a word processor or a workstation, equipped with a document editing function.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, some document processing apparatuses of this type have a function of arbitrarily setting the display magnification of paper images on both sides. For example, if you gradually reduce the display magnification from a state where only part of the paper image is displayed on both sides, the entire paper image will be displayed as shown in Figure 7(a). . If the display magnification is further reduced from this state, adjacent paper images will also be displayed as shown in FIG. 7(b), and if the display magnification is further reduced, as shown in FIG. 7(C). , multiple adjacent paper images will be displayed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in conventional document processing devices, documents are displayed along the left edge of the screen, so even if the six displayed pages are designated as left page or right page, if the display magnification is decreased,
The paper images are arranged in a line in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 7(C). In other words, even if the page is a two-page spread, the right page and left page will be displayed separately above and below, making it difficult to see how the bound page will look after printing on both sides. There was a problem.

Also, even if the paper images are arranged vertically in a line, if the text is written horizontally, the continuity of the text will be maintained.
When the text is written vertically, the continuity of the text is greatly impaired, which poses a problem in that work efficiency during text editing is reduced.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned prior art, and when the display magnification is reduced and page 6 is designated as a left page or a right page, the two-page spreads are displayed in pairs and vertical writing is performed. In the text, it is defined as ``one objective'' to provide a document processing device that displays the next page on the left side of the page.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problem, in the document processing device according to the present invention, when a left page and a right page are consecutively specified for a document displayed on both sides, the document is displayed in a reduced size. A page control means is provided for displaying two-page spreads of paper images side by side in pairs, and displaying the next page of the reduced paper image to the left of the previous page when the document is specified to be written vertically. There is.

[Effect]

According to the page control means, when a document for which left page and right page have been specified is reduced and displayed, the left and right facing pages are displayed in pairs, so that the user can You can easily check the finished state of the bound book on both sides.

Also, when a document specified for vertical writing is reduced and displayed, the next page of the paper image will be displayed to the left of the previous page, and the vertical text will be placed consecutively in the horizontal direction on both sides. Become. Therefore, the continuity of the text can be maintained, and the work efficiency when editing the text can be further improved.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the document processing device according to the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a workstation showing an embodiment of a document processing apparatus according to the present invention. This workstation includes a CRTI for displaying characters, figures, etc. on both sides, a CRT control device 2 for controlling the display on the CRTI, a keyboard device 3 for inputting commands, character strings, numerical values, etc. A pointing device 4, such as a mouse, for pointing and selecting a selection area such as a window or menu displayed above with a cursor, a disk device 5 storing a group of dictionaries for hiragana-kanji conversion, and a memory device 6. , and a CPU (central processing unit) 7.

A memory area (not shown) of the memory device 6 stores programs such as an operating program that manages the basic operations of this workstation and various application programs, as well as characters input manually from the keyboard device 3 and pointing device 4. Data such as numbers and values are stored.

The CPU 7 is a circuit that controls the entire device and performs arithmetic processing on various data.
A program connected to instructions from the pointing device 4 is read from the memory device 6, and arithmetic processing is executed on the input data. In addition, when the CPU 7 specifies the left page and the right page consecutively for page 6 of the document, the two-page spread of the reduced paper image is displayed side by side in pairs, and the text is specified to be written vertically. When the paper image is displayed in a reduced size, a page control means 8 is included for displaying the next page of the reduced paper image on the left side of that page.

In addition, to specify the left page or right page of page 6 of the document or to specify the display magnification, display the menu for setting the document format and select the relevant item with the pointing device 4, or use the keyboard device 3. Predetermined numerical values, etc. can be input manually.

Next, in the above-mentioned workstation, when a document is designated as a left page and a right page in succession, the page control means 8 is used for displaying two-page spreads of paper images that are reduced and displayed side by side in pairs. The processing procedure will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG.

In the following description, it is assumed that horizontally written texts are read from the left page to the right page, and vertically written texts are read from the right page to the left page.

First, the page control means 8 determines whether the reduced and displayed document is the right page (step 101). Here, if the document is the right page, it must be determined whether the previous page is the left page. Step 102), if it is the left page, display the right page so that it is placed in a facing position with the previous page (step 102).
3). Also, if the document is not on the right page in step 101,
and when the previous page is not the left page in step 102 (for example,
If the document has only one page), normal display (placement on the left side of the screen) is performed (step 104).

FIG. 4 shows a display example when two-page spreads of paper images are arranged in pairs.

Next, when the text is specified to be written vertically, the processing procedure of the page control means 8 when displaying the next page of the reduced paper image on the left side of that page is shown in the flowchart of FIG. The explanation will be based on.

First, the page control means 8 determines whether the text written on the paper image displayed by reduction is written horizontally (step 201). Here, if the text is not written horizontally, the paper image is displayed so as to be placed at the left position of the previous page (step 202). Further, in step 201, if the text is written horizontally, normal display is performed (step 203).

FIG. 5 shows a display example when the next page of the paper image is placed on the left side of that page. Further, the paper images displayed in the horizontal direction can be viewed continuously by reducing the display magnification and horizontally scrolling the screen as shown in FIG.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the document processing device according to the present invention, when a document is designated as a left page and a right page in succession, the two-page spreads of the reduced paper image are displayed side by side in pairs. Therefore, even if there are 6 consecutive pages designated as left page and right page, you can see the paper image in the bound state after it is actually printed, so you can easily check the finished state on both sides. can be grasped. Additionally, when a document is specified to be vertically written, the next page of the reduced paper image is displayed on the left side of that page, so if the document is horizontally scrolled on both sides, the text can be viewed continuously, improving work efficiency when editing text.
