Abstract

PURPOSE:To display the numbers of digits of a travel origin range and a travel destination range when they are designated by designating a document range to be moved and the range of a destination in a storage means, and calculating and displaying the numbers of digits of those ranges. CONSTITUTION:The start point and the end point of a travel origin are displayed by operating a cursor key AK corresponding to the guidance of a message picture on a CRT display part 14. A rectangular frame setting the start point and the end point as a diagonal line forms the travel origin range. The travel origin range can be defined by operating a return key BK after it is confirmed that the whole character string to be moved is housed within the rectangular. The total number of digits in the range is calculated, and is displayed on the display part 14. Similarly, the travel destination range is decided and displayed. The number of digits within the rectangular is calculated, and is displayed on the display part 14. The travel processing of a character within the travel origin range to the travel destination rage is performed. When the travel origin range is larger than the travel destination range, the character string in the travel origin range is moved to the travel destination range starting from the leading digit.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] This IJJ is applied to a document processing device such as a word processor.

[Summary of Part 151 of A] This invention calculates and displays the number of digits within each designated range when the source range and destination range of a sentence are respectively w12 in a word processor or the like. ,
When the shape of the destination range and the shape of the source range are different, it is easy to check whether the entire source document can be contained within the specified destination wA■. It has been made possible.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when moving a document in a word processor, the following two methods are known.

(1) A method of first specifying the movement source range of one document and then specifying the movement destination starting position. In this case, the document data within the movement source range is moved as is from the movement destination starting position.

(2) A method of specifying a source range and a destination range. In this case, the document data within the source range is restricted to the destination range and is moved within that range.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the method (1) described above has a drawback in that it is possible to move only in the form of the source range. In addition, with method (2) above, documents can be moved to a destination range that has any shape specified in advance, regardless of the shape of the source range, but all document data within the source range can be moved to the destination range. It is not always possible to move within the range, and the destination range is 11i
If FM is small, the end of the document will be truncated.
In such a case, you can count the number of lines and digits in the source range and destination range, and if the destination range is small, respecify the range and enlarge that IIIyJ, but this work is extremely tedious and time-consuming. There was a drawback that it was necessary.

Therefore, if the number of digits in each range can be displayed when the source range and destination range are specified, it would be easier to check whether the entire source document can be moved within the destination range. it is obvious.

An object of the present invention is to enable display of the number of digits of each range when a source range and a destination range are specified.

[Means to solve the problem] The means of this invention are as follows.

The document data storage means 1 (see the functional block diagram in FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) is a document memory for storing one document.

The movement source aivN specifying means 2 specifies the document range to be moved among the document data stored in the document data storage means 1. Here, the movement of the document fi3 includes copying in addition to normal movement, and the source range of the document is specified using a two-point specification method, for example, by placing the cursor on the start position and end position.

The destination range specifying means 3 specifies the destination range within the document data storage means 1 using a two-point specification method or the like.

The calculation means 4 is the movement source range specification means 2. The number of digits in the source range and destination range specified by the destination range specifying means 3 is calculated.

The display control means 5 displays and outputs each digit number calculated by the calculation means 4.

[Work] The operation of the means of this invention is as follows.

Now, it is assumed that an arbitrary document among the input and created document data in the document data storage means 1 is to be moved to another location.

In this case, the source range specifying means 2 specifies the document range to be moved within the document data storage means 1, and the destination range specifying means 3 specifies the destination range.

Then, the calculating means 4 calculates the movement source range specified by each range specifying means 2.3 and the number of digits within the movement source range. Each digit number thus calculated is displayed and output under the control of the display control means 5.

Therefore, when the movement source range and movement destination range are specified, the number of digits of each a4 can be displayed.

[Embodiment] An embodiment will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the eight-part configuration of a word processor.

The CPU II controls various operations of this word processor according to the system program etc. stored in the ROM 12, and the key human power ff613. The CRT display section 14 and the print fi 15 have corresponding input/output interfaces, that is, a key manual control section 16, a display control section 17. CPU via print control unit 18
II.

The key input unit 13 is for inputting document data and various commands, including cursor keys AK, return keys BK,
A block movement key CK and the like are provided. Here, C
The PUII takes in the document data input from the key manual control unit 13 via the key manual control unit 16 and displays it in the display memory 19.
or in response to a conversion command from the key human power section 13, performs kana-kanji conversion, creates a sentence containing kanji, and stores it in RAM.
20 is stored in the document memory 20-1.

Note that when the document data input from the key human power section 13 or the document data read from the document memory 20-1 is written to the display memory 19, the display control section 17 reads the document data from one display memory and sends it to CR7. It is displayed and output from the text screen of the display unit 14.

The document memory 20-1 is a document storage memory for storing input and created document data, and the CPU II is a key input section 1.
When the block movement key CK on the top 3 is operated, the mode is set to one document movement mode, and in this document movement mode, when the range of documents to be moved (movement source range) is specified or the movement destination range is specified. 1 document memory 20-1 is searched, the total number of digits included in each range is calculated, and the result is displayed and output from the text screen of the CR7 display section 14.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing document movement processing, which is started when the block movement key CK is operated.

First, guidance is displayed on the message screen on the CRT display unit 14 indicating that the starting point position of the source range should be entered (step Sl). After setting the i-point position, when the return key BK is operated, that position is determined as the starting point position (step S2).

Then, guidance is displayed indicating that the end point position of the movement source range should be input and specified (step S3), and when key input is performed in the key input waiting state,
Determine the type of operation key (step S4). If the cursor key AK is operated to specify the end point position, the process proceeds to step S5, where a rectangular frame with diagonal lines between the starting point position and the current cursor position is drawn. Display output. and.

Returning to step S4, the cursor position is moved each time the cursor key AK is operated, and a rectangular frame of a corresponding size is displayed and output. Figure 4 shows the display state in this case.If the starting point position of the movement source range is STA, and the current cursor position (end point position) is SPA, this starting point position jet
s Rectangular frame MA whose diagonal line is TA and end point position SPA
is displayed and output, and this rectangular frame MA becomes the movement source range.

After confirming that the entire character string to be moved is within the rectangular frame MA, the return key BK is operated. Then, the end point position, that is, the movement source range is determined (step S6), and the total number of digits within this movement source range is calculated (step S7), and this calculation result is displayed and output from the text screen of the CR7 display unit 14. (Step S8).

However, this time, guidance is displayed to indicate that you should enter the starting point position of the destination range (stay).

Step S9), in response to this, operate the cursor key AKtl to align the cursor with the starting point position of the movement destination, and then operate the return key BK to specify the starting point position (step 510), the movement destination range is as described above. The end +'jj, (&2ff) of the destination range is calculated so that it has the same shape as the source range, and the cursor is moved and displayed at the calculated position (step S l l).

Then, guidance is displayed to indicate that the end position of the destination should be entered (step 512). In this case, if you do not feel safe changing the cursor position, in other words, if you want to make the destination range the same shape as the source range. To change the shape of the destination range, operate the cursor key AK.

Then, this is detected in step S13, and the process proceeds to step S14, where a rectangular frame whose diagonal lines are the already specified starting point position and the current cursor position is displayed and output. Then, calculate the number of digits within this rectangular frame (step 515).
, This calculation result is displayed on the text screen of the CRT display unit 14 (step 516), and then the process returns to step S13, and steps S14 to S16 described in L are repeated every time the cursor key AK is operated.

In this way, each time you move the cursor key by operating the cursor key AK, the rectangular frame changes and the number of digits within the rectangular frame is calculated and displayed, so visually check this number of digits and the number of digits in the movement source range. and compare them.

Here, after confirming that all the character strings surrounding the movement source aIi can be contained within the rectangular frame, press the return key BK.
operate. Then, this is detected in step 513, and the process proceeds to step S17, where the end point position of the destination range is determined. When the destination range is identified in this way, the process proceeds to step 518, where processing is performed to move the character strings within the source range to the destination range.Here, if the source range is larger than the destination range If the character string in the source range is read from the first digit and moved from the first digit 1J in the destination range, a blank will appear in the lower part of the destination range. On the other hand, if the source range is smaller than the destination range, the last /fu part of the string will be truncated. Therefore, in the space that specifies the destination range, change the number of digits to the number of digits in the source range. If the character strings are set equal to , even if their shapes are different, it is possible to move the character strings within the movement source range exactly within the movement destination i times. FIG. 4 shows the display state in this case, where the source range is a horizontally long rectangle and the destination range is a vertically long rectangle, but the number of digits is the same for both. Here, in the figure, STB indicates the starting point position, SPB indicates the ending point position,
The destination range MB is specified by the starting point position STB and the ending point position 1sPB.

In the above embodiment, the source range and destination range are rectangular in shape, but pre-prepared graphic patterns such as triangles, circles, diamonds, etc. may be used as the source range and destination range. By specifying this, you can expand the variations of one document block.

Furthermore, if the destination range can be specified in several parts, it becomes possible to specify a complex range. FIG. 5 shows a case where the destination range is divided into three parts and specified. Here, ■, ■, ■ in the figure are lP! The Jth, second, and third divided areas are shown, and each time each divided area is specified, the cumulative number of digits up to that point is calculated and displayed. In other words, when divided area ■ is specified, the number of digits for only that area is calculated and displayed, but when divided area ■ is specified, the number of digits for divided areas ■ and ■ is updated (1 is calculated and displayed, Furthermore, when the divided area ■ is specified, the calculated value with the updated number of digits of each divided area ■, ■, and If you specify them together, you can specify a more complex range.

Further, although the above embodiment has been described only regarding normal document movement, document movement by copying is basically the same as the above embodiment.

[Effects of IJJ] This invention can display the number of digits in each range when the source range and destination range are specified, so the entire source document can be moved within the destination range. It is extremely easy to check whether it is possible or not! J becomes ++) ability.
