SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a word processing apparatus having a character input / edit screen and a print image screen, wherein when a print is used as a print sheet for a page printer, the image of the print is taken. Providing a real print image screen in which the data file is read and superimposed on the print image screen image, and when the input character string is not displayed at the target position of the print, the input character string is displayed on the character input / edit screen. This is achieved by providing a means for re-editing, such as moving, and reconfirming on the print image screen.

[0008] A similar object is to use a word processing processor having a character input / edit screen and a print image screen to read an image data file of the print and read the print data when the print is used as print paper in a page printer. A real print image editing screen superimposed on the image screen image is provided, and when the input character string is not displayed at the target position of the printed matter, editing such as moving the input character string image to the target position on the screen is performed. This is achieved by providing means for correcting the print image screen image.

[0009]

Function: An image data file of a printed matter is captured and created by, for example, a scanner, read out, and displayed on a real print screen in which both are superimposed at the same scale as the print image screen, so that input characters can be input at a target position. It is checked whether it is displayed, and if it is misaligned, use the character input / edit screen or use the real print screen as an image edit screen, correct the misalignment, and print with a page printer. Let it be processed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the size is A4 as printed matter.
Is shown with a printed portion at the top, and many others are blank portions, which are prepared for printing word processing documents. Of the blank part, 10a is the address, date description part, 10c
Is a description portion of the destination inquiry file, and 10d is a description portion of the sender inquiry file.

Destination, date, partner's inquiry file number,
The sender's reference file number, subject text, body text, etc.
The data is input on a character input / edit screen of a word processing processor (not shown). At this time, a temporary position for each character string is determined by a line and space input by tentative calculation.

Next, as the document style or on the print setting screen, the paper is designated as A4, and the top, bottom, left, and right margins, the number of lines per page, the number of characters per line, the font size, and the like are set. Display the print image screen and check the overall layout of the previously input document. In this print image screen, the printed matter shown in FIG.
Only the character string input on the edit screen is displayed, and no correspondence is seen between the print and the printed portion of the printed matter.

[0013] On the print image screen, for example, "printed matter" is displayed in a menu. By selecting this, a list of image data files of various printed matter created in advance by using a scanner, a fax machine, etc. is displayed. Is displayed, and a print to be used as print paper is selected. As a result, the image data file of the selected printed material is read, and the real print image screen superimposed on the print image screen image is displayed. An example of such a screen is shown in FIG.

According to the illustrated example, the destination name and the date are displayed at the target position (10a in FIG. 1), but the display of the other party's inquiry file number is shifted up by one line. It is not displayed at the position (10c in FIG. 1), and the sender's inquiry file number is shifted to the left by about four characters one line above, and is not displayed at its target position (10d in FIG. 1).

Then, the screen is returned to the character input / edit screen, the character string of the other party's inquiry file number is moved down by one line, and the character string of the sender's inquiry file number is changed to one.
A correction is made to move four characters to the right below the line. After this correction, when the above-described real print image screen is displayed again, it is confirmed that the moved character strings are displayed at the respective destination positions, and a page (not shown) in which the print 10 is prepared in the tray is provided. Instructing printing by the printer, the developed image corresponding to the corrected print image screen image is printed, and it is confirmed that the character is printed at the target position of the printed matter.

In the above embodiment, the real print image screen is displayed after the print image screen is displayed. However, a list of image data files of various prints is displayed from the character input / edit screen by a menu. A real print image screen for the selected print may be displayed.

Further, by setting such a real print image screen as a screen which can be directly edited, for example, a character string image of the above-mentioned inquiry file number of the other party is selected and moved to an appropriate lower position by dragging. Let it. Similarly, the image file character string image of the sender is dragged and moved. Due to such movement, the print image screen image is similarly moved by internal processing. A developed image corresponding to the corrected print image screen image is printed.

To create an image data file of a printed matter, a scanner or a fax machine may be used. However, a camera is arranged in a page printer, and the printed matter prepared in a tray is imaged. It may be created by being transferred to a processing processor.
Further, an image scanned by a digital copying machine may be used. When the real print image screen is displayed, if the image of the printed matter is inclined, it is preferable to provide image processing for automatically correcting the image.
