FIG. 10 shows a control procedure of the half line break rule line repeat process in the process. Referring to FIG. 10, first, it is determined whether or not the ruled line in the row direction is repeated (step S31). If the determination is affirmative, it is further determined whether or not the ruled line is a half-line feed (step S32). If the determination is affirmative, as shown in FIG. 6, the line is repeated in the line direction of the half-line feed to perform a half-line repeat process of drawing the rule line in the line direction of the half-line feed (step S33). As described above, the half line break rule line repeat processing function at a desired half line break position is realized by judging whether or not the rule line repeat is instructed in the half line break direction.

On the other hand, the control procedure of the half-line feed processing of the cursor is shown in the flowchart of FIG. Referring to FIG. 11, whether or not to move the cursor to the half-line feed position is selected (step S41). When the operator moves the cursor to the half-line feed position and selects it with a predetermined key, a desired half-line feed is selected. It is permitted to move the cursor to the position (step S42). If the cursor goes to the position of a half-line feed, character input and editing are performed with the half-line feed thereafter. On the other hand, unless the cursor goes to the position of a half-line feed, character input and the like in the half-line feed cannot be performed.
