Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify a format setting operation and to increase the sentence input speed by attaining automatic initialization with a changed format in the next power supply ON mode and realizing the immediate input of sentences with no format set. CONSTITUTION:A changed format is stored in a nonvolatile memory means every time the selected one of plural types of formats set previously is changed. Then the changed format is initialized automatically in an initialization mode. Thus it is possible to set the format changed in a power supply ON mode as a standard format. This can omit the time needed for setting formats. Here the nonvolatile memory means can also be used as a floppy disk.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Field of Industrial Application> The present invention relates to a formatting method for a document processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, in Japanese word processors, a standard format has been provided. However, when using a format other than user lever, it is necessary to set the format. Therefore, in the past, there is a drawback in that it takes time and effort to set the format.

<Object of the Invention> Therefore, the object of the present invention is to automatically initialize the changed format the next time the power is turned on, thereby making it possible to input text immediately without setting the format, and to simplify operations in format setting. The purpose is to simplify and speed up text input.

<Structure of the Invention> In order to achieve the above object, the formatting method of the document processing device of the present invention is such that the formatting method of the document processing device of the present invention selects one of a plurality of formats stored in a non-volatile memory means and set in advance. storing the changed format format in the non-volatile memory means each time the format is changed;
It is characterized in that the changed format is automatically initialized at the time of initial setting.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document processing device, and 1 is a keyboard with a character input key (full key a and a function key 1b, where a new format is set as a representative key for the function key Ib. , a cursor key for instructing multiple types of fixed formats, and an execution key for instructing to execute mode settings.Furthermore, 2 is a keyboard control circuit that outputs key signals, and 4 is a format format. 5 is a cathode ray tube (CRT) control circuit, 6 is a cathode ray tube (CRT) display device, 8 is a disk control circuit, and 9 is a floppy disk or the like as a nonvolatile memory means for storing format information. A disk device 11 consists of a random access memory (RAM), a program memory that stores the system program and format format loaded from the disk device 9, a format memory 12 that stores a plurality of format formats, and 13 a text memory. This is an editing memory consisting of a text buffer for storing day and night data, various editing control buffers, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, the fixed format formats stored in advance in the disk drive include document sizes B5, A
・There are 4, B4, and free size XX fixed format formats, and each of the above fixed formats has a number of characters per line,
Line spacing, character size (normal and double-width), and vertical/horizontal writing can be set as desired.

Next, we will discuss the formatting method of this document processing device in the third section.
This will be explained in detail below with reference to the figures.

First, in step S1, the input power is turned on. Step S
2, the format information is transferred to the disk device 9 along with the editing program.
The format information is then loaded into the program memory 11 and stored in the format memory I2. In step S3, when the l key is pressed, the format information in the format memory 12 is converted into character data and supplied to the CRT control circuit 5, as shown in FIG.
The form format is displayed on the R7 display device 6. As shown in Figure 2, when the power is turned on, this displayed format is displayed except for the line shown in 26, and the fixed format is A4 size 20, B5 size 21, B size 2.
2. Free size XX 23, message 24, system program version number, information indicating user 27
is displayed. In Figure 2, a is the document size, b is the number of characters per line, C is the pitch between lines, d is the character pattern size (normal size, double-width), e is vertical/horizontal printing (horizontal: horizontal printing, Vertical: Vertical printing) can be changed as desired. In addition, line 26 creates a predetermined text in the format selected after the power is turned on, and then returns to the format set immediately before the formatting mode (20 to 20 above).
23) is displayed. In this display state,
Initially, the cursor mark 25 is displayed at line 26 (however, when the power is turned on, it is displayed at line 20).

In step S4, when one fixed format is selected by operating the cursor keys on the keyboard, the cursor counter is updated, the cursor mark 25 is moved to the corresponding line, and the corresponding address in the format memory 12 is specified. do. In step S5, it is selected whether to use a pre-stored fixed format format or to change the fixed format format. For example, suppose you want to change a fixed format format.

In step S6, the format key is operated to change item b and item 10 of the format shown in FIG. 2, and the format of the selected fixed format is set.

This format setting specifies the fixed format format selected from the format memory 12, and only one line of FIG. .

In step S7, these data are stored in the format memory 12 and modified, and when the OK key is pressed after formatting, all the modified formats in the format memory are written to the disk device 9. In step S8, the address of the selected format format of the format memo January 2 is held by the key. In step S9, text editing is performed according to the format held in step S8, and text processing is completed. In addition, while inputting text, In after formatting
Even if the key is pressed, the data is not written to the disk device 9. In step 1O, when the text processing is completed, the format mode is entered, and the line 26 shown in FIG.
is displayed, and a cursor mark 25 is displayed on that line. After that, if you wish to continue editing the text in the format set above, in step S5,
If you press [e- instead of , the previous changed format will be automatically set without any formatting, and you can immediately move on to text input. Further, in step S11, in order to specify a fixed format that has already been stored, the format is specified using the cursor keys on the keyboard.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the explanation below, the formatting method of the document processing device of the present invention changes the format selected from a plurality of preset formats. Each time, the changed format is stored in the non-volatile memory means, and the changed format is automatically initialized at the time of initialization, so the changed format can be set as the standard format when the power is turned on. It saves you the trouble of formatting.

Further, if the non-volatile memory means for storing the format is a floppy disk, this disk board can be prepared for each user and the format can be set for each user, which is convenient.
