Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus having a function of inserting another document at a specific position of a certain document. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an insertion function (that is, a merge function, a merge print function, etc.) in a document processing apparatus of this type is provided with a function of transferring other document information to a specified position in document information created in advance. Was simply inserted and printing was performed. [0003] However, in the conventional document processing apparatus, the character mode (particularly, the mode setting for the insertion position (merge position)) in the document to be merged (original document) is ,
Document to be merged (merged document)
In contrast, after execution of the merge, it does not have any effectiveness (binding power). For example, if bold mode is set for a certain merge position of the original document and the merged document is inserted into that merge position, bold mode has no effect on the inserted merged document and no mode setting is made become. Therefore, when the same mode is set for all documents to be merged, it is necessary to individually set the same mode for each merged document. [0005] Some document processing apparatuses known in the art do not allow individual setting of the character mode of a merged document. As a result, not only the operability of the document processing apparatus is lost, but also the possibility of causing an operation error increases. In addition, the execution of the merge creates a document contrary to the operator's intention, which is extremely inconvenient. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide
An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing apparatus capable of giving a selection range to an attribute after insertion from a plurality of attributes of an insertion position attribute and an attribute of a character string to be inserted. [0010] In order to achieve the above object, a document processing apparatus according to the present invention provides a document processing apparatus which includes insertion instruction information indicating an insertion position in document information and the insertion instruction information. A first storage unit for storing first attribute information set in the storage unit; a second storage unit for storing character string information to be inserted and second attribute information set in the character string information; If the character string information to be inserted with attribute information based on the first attribute information and the second attribute information is inserted at a position indicated by the insertion instruction information, the document information is printed. To print,
If the print mode is not specified, the document in which the character string information to be inserted, in which the attribute information based on the first attribute information and the second attribute information is set, is inserted at the position indicated by the insertion instruction information Control means for storing information in the third storage means.

In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a text buffer pointer (TB_P).
Is a pointer for specifying the position of the text buffer TB. Original document buffer pointer 1
3 (OB_P) and the merged document buffer pointer 14 (MB_P) are pointers indicating the positions of the original document buffer 19 (OB) and the merged document buffer 20 (MB), respectively. The work pointer includes an original document buffer work pointer 15 (OP) and a merged document buffer work pointer 16 (MP). 17 is a merge document character counter C

The same applies to the original document buffer OB and the merged document buffer MB. The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described below. In this embodiment, under the control of the CPU 1, document information is sequentially input from the KB6. The input document information is stored in the temporary RAM 3 and stored in the C
Displayed on RT4. After being edited, it is recorded on the FD 5 or printed by the PRT 11. Here, each command is input from the KB 6, and the character string mode setting, merge position, and the like in the present embodiment are also set in the document information. In addition, the plug-in function is also commanded from KB6. Next, the control procedure of this embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to a flowchart. FIGS. 5 and 6 are flowcharts showing the editing process when creating a document in this embodiment. In FIG. 5, first, in step S1, a key code fetch process is performed. In step S2, it is determined whether or not the obtained key is a general key. If it is not a general key, the corresponding special process is performed in step S4, and the process is terminated. FIG. 6 shows the contents of the special processing described above. Here, first, it is determined whether or not the mode setting key is set in step S5. If the mode setting key is set, the mode setting process is performed in step S7, and the process ends. If a negative determination is made in step S5, it is determined in step S6 whether the key is a merge position setting key. In the case of a merge position setting key, a merge position setting process is performed in step S8, and the process ends. Otherwise, another process is performed in step S9, and the process ends. In the mode setting process of step S7, when the setting flag of the corresponding mode is turned off, it is turned on.
If it is turned on, it is turned off. As a result, when the flag is ON at the time of character input, the corresponding mode information in bit units is set to the current position of the TB attribute area TB_a in FIG. Referring to FIG. 10, a bold mode flag is set in a bit unit in each attribute area of the character input when the bold mode is ON. In the general processing of step S3 shown in FIG. 5, the input character code is set in the current position TB_c [TB_P] of the character area TB_c of the TB, and at the same time, the same position is set according to the mode flag as described above. Attribute area TB_a
The corresponding attribute information is set in [TB_P]. In the merge position setting process in step S8, a merge position code (M with a bar) is set in the current position TB_c [TB_P] of the character area TB_c of TB. The code thus set corresponds to “M with bar” at the OB_P_M position shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the entire merge function process. In step S10, as an initial process of the merge process, the original document is set to OB, the merge document is set to MB, the character count of the merge document is performed, and the number of characters to be merged is set to CNT at a predetermined position in the RAM 3. Set to. In step S11, the original document buffer pointer OB_P is set to the head position OB_
Set to P_I. Next, in step S12, O
It is checked whether or not the content of OB_c indicated by B_P is the document end code “E _OF ”. as a result,
If not "E _OF ", it is determined in step S13 whether the content is "M with bar", that is, a merge position code. If it is a merge position code, it is necessary to perform a merge process at the corresponding position.
A merge process is performed at 14, and the process returns to step S12. Conversely, if it is not a merge position code, the pointer OB_P is incremented in step S15, and the process returns to step S12. If "E _OF " is determined in step S12, it is determined in step S16 whether or not the print mode is set. As a result, when it is determined that the printing mode is set, the printing process is performed in step S18. If the printing mode is not set, step S
At 17, processing such as storing the contents of the OB in the FD 5 is performed. FIGS. 8 and 9 show the steps S shown in FIG.
14 is a flowchart showing the details of 14 (merge processing). First, in step S19 shown in FIG. 8, the merge document buffer pointer MB_P is set to the start position M
B_P_I is set, and in step S20, a process of moving the contents after the merge position of the original document to the rear is performed. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing details of step S20. In step S25 shown in this figure, OP is set to the current pointer OB_ as the work pointer.
Set to P. In step S26, it is determined whether or not the content of the OB pointed to by the OP is "E _OF ". If the result is not "E _OF ", OP is incremented in step S27, and the process returns to step S26.
Here, the end of the original document is detected, and the position is obtained by OP. If "E _OF " is detected in step S26, control is transferred to step S28, and if "E _OF " is moved to the rear by a predetermined count number (CNT-1), the original buffer OB is output. It is determined whether or not there is a risk of protruding. That is, OB_P_MAX-
If {OP + (CNT-1)} is negative, the buffer overflows, so that the last buffer pointer OP to be moved in step S29 is set to OB_P_MAX- (CNT-
Set to 1) and at the same time OB_c [OB_P_MAX]
_Is set to "E _OF ". If a negative determination is made in step S28 (positive) and if step S29 is executed, it is determined in step S30 whether or not the OP is at the merge position OB_P (OB_P_M). You. If the result is not OB_P, the moving process has not been completed yet, and the content of the OB indicated by the OP is moved to the OB indicated by OP + (CNT-1) in step S31. In step S32, OP is decremented, and the determination is made again in step S30. In step S30, OP = OB
If it is determined to be _P, it is determined that the character movement of the original document for merging has been completed, and the processing in step S20 ends. Returning to FIG. 8 again, the steps after step S21 will be described. In step S21, it is determined whether or not MB_c [MP_P] is “E _OF ” (whether or not all the merged documents have been merged into the original document). Is determined. If it is not "E _OF ", it is determined in step S22 whether OB_P is OB_P_MAX. If a negative determination is made in step S22, merging is performed in step S23. That is, the contents of MB_c [MB_P] are changed to OB_c [OB_
P] to merge the characters. Next, MP
If _a is “0”, it means that no mode has been specified for the original document merge position, so the merge document mode is validated and MB_a
Move (MB_P) to OB_a [OB_P] (copy)
Then, the mode of the current position of the merged document is set to the attribute area of the current position of the original document. When MP_a is other than “0” (that is, when the attribute bit flag is set), it means that the mode has been specified for the original document merge position.
a is moved (copied) to OB_a [OB_P], and the merge position designation mode is set in the attribute area of the current position of the original document. Thereafter, in step S24, OB_
P and MB_P are both incremented, and the process returns to step S21 again. The merging is realized by the above-described loop, and if a positive determination is obtained in step S21 or step S22, the process ends. In the above-described embodiment, the mode set for the merged document is valid only when the mode is not specified for the merge position in the original document. ) And the mode for each position in the merged document (ie,
By calculating the logical sum with the contents of the attribute area), both attributes can be made valid. As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, whether or not the mode of the merge position is valid for the document after the execution of the merge is determined depending on whether or not the mode (ie, the attribute information) is set at the merge position. Alternatively, it is possible to select whether to enable the mode of the merged document. For example, when a mode is set for a merge position, after the merge is executed, the mode is set for the entire document merged into the position. As described above, it is possible to easily unify the modes of the merged document having different modes simply by setting the mode of the merge position when creating the original document. Thus, it is not necessary to individually set the mode for each merged document, so that it is possible to save the operator's labor and to minimize operation errors. If it is desired to set a different mode for each merged document, the mode is not set for the merge position, so that the mode of each merged document is maintained even after execution of the merge. Become. As a result, detailed document information can be obtained according to the purpose of merging. As described above, according to the present invention, insertion instruction information indicating an insertion position in document information and first attribute information set in the insertion instruction information are stored, and the insertion is performed. Character string information to be stored and second attribute information set in the character string information, and the first attribute information and the second attribute information are stored in a position indicated by the insertion instruction information.
Since the document information in which the character string information to be inserted in which the attribute information is set based on the attribute information is to be stored, the attribute after insertion is obtained from a plurality of attributes of the insertion position attribute and the attribute of the character string to be inserted. Can have a selection range.
