Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily generate and input a fixed document in short time by providing a starting program calling the corresponding processing program of registration when a cursor is moved and it is clicked in a prescribed position at the time of inputting a document. CONSTITUTION:When different words and data are to be inputted with the same format, a previously registered format, namely, necessary layout and processing designate a certain registration number so as to generate a new input screen. The new format which is not registered can be generated and registered. It is assumed that the words and data are to be inputted to the fixed document having the three ranges of a sentence, a table and a graph, for example. When the cursor is moved to a certain area being a blank and it is clicked or a specified key is depressed, a starting program 3 is started. The starting program 3 starts a sentence editing processing program when the range of the registered layout is viewed and it is recognized to be a sentence area.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

This invention relates to activation of a processing program of each part of the layout in layout setting in a document creating apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a document is created by a word processor or the like, the document to be input is not the entire page, but the page is divided into several sentences, tables, graphs, images. In some cases, you may want to create it by dividing it into areas such as drawing and drawing. Conventionally, in such a case, move the cursor to the beginning position of the range, call the corresponding corresponding function program such as text, table, image, etc., and after that function program operates and a predetermined screen appears, I was inputting data.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method of creating a document by a conventional device using a display screen. In this example, document creation consists of three parts, (1) is text,
I want to enter a table for (2) and a graph for (3). In such a case, first, in the figure, the cursor is moved to the part (1), the Japanese sentence editing program is activated there, and the words are input on the Japanese input screen. When the input range of the sentence is completed, the cursor is then moved to the range of (2), the spreadsheet program is started there, the calculation formula is set, and the words and data are input. In the following, even within the range of (3), the graph creating program is first written to create the input screen, and then the data is input. In this case, when creating a standard document in which different data are input to the same format,
The work was complicated, time consuming, and mistakes occurred.

[0004]

Since the conventional document creating apparatus is configured as described above, when the contents of the document creating process differ depending on the page range, the range is designated and handled. There is a problem that it is necessary to start the processing program, the operation is troublesome, and it takes time. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a processing program starting device that is easy to operate and has a short input time.

[0005]

A processing program starting apparatus according to the present invention stores a layout range in which an operator can arbitrarily register and an input unit for inputting a process in the range, and stores this as a table. The storage area to be used and the one that is called when creating a new document after registration,
It has a startup program that moves the sol and calls the corresponding registration processing program with a signal corresponding to the click.

[0006]

The processing program starting device according to the present invention is
By clicking at the cursor position, the starting program knows the processing program in the corresponding range in the table and calls and starts it. As a result, the input screen becomes an input screen corresponding to the processing program.

[0007]

【Example】

Example 1. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an input unit. Newly provided in the present invention are the configurations 2 and 3, 2 is a storage unit for storing the layout range and the type of processing thereof, and 3 is a starting program which is the core of the present invention. Reference numeral 4 denotes various processing programs such as Japanese document editing, spreadsheet, and graph creation. Reference numeral 5 is a processor, and 6 is a display device. FIG. 2 is a connection explanatory diagram of a screen and a program for explaining the operation of the embodiment of FIG. 4a to 4c are concrete programs such as a text editing processing program among the processing programs of FIG. In FIG. 2, the upper quarter is the text input range, the middle half is the spreadsheet range, and the lower quarter is the graph creation range.

Next, the operation will be described. In standard document creation,
In other words, if you want to enter different words or data in the same format, you need to enter a previously registered format.
Create a new input screen by specifying the mat, that is, the registration number that has the required layout and processing. Of course, a new format that has not been registered may be created and registered. Now, suppose that the user wants to input words and data into a fixed form document having three ranges shown in FIG. First, this layout
Although Matt is called from the storage unit 2, nothing is initially visible on the new input screen. In other words, it is blank, but the card
Move the sol to the position shown in the figure (accurately any position in the text area) and click. Alternatively, a specific key is pressed. As a result, the start-up program 3 of FIG. 1 is started up, the start-up program 3 sees the range of the registered layout and knows that it is a text area, and the document edit processing program 4
Start a. The screen becomes a text input screen by the document edit processing program and waits for operator input.

When the text is input and edited, the cursor is moved to the front area. Then, when a click operation is performed, the start-up program 3 is started up, and when the range of the registered layout is seen, this time the table area is displayed.
To start. Depending on the table processing program, the screen becomes a spreadsheet input screen. After that, the operator only needs to input the table data. Similarly, when the cursor is moved to the graph area and clicked, the startup program 3 starts,
The graph processing program 4c is activated, and the screen becomes the graph input screen. After that, the operator inputs the data for the graph.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the storage unit for the registration table and the starting program are provided, there is an effect that a standard document can be easily created and input in a short time.
