Refer to P-360 operation manual).

Conversely, as shown in FIG. 2 (B) to FIG. 2 (A),
To delete a horizontal ruled line that separates each table item, first specify the line to be deleted with the cursor and delete one line. (In this case, if there is a character outside the table frame, this character is also deleted. And destroys the character data).

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, in a table in which character data and ruled line data are mixed on a text, horizontal ruled line rows are inserted so as not to destroy character data mixed in and out of the table. It is very difficult to proceed with the deletion or deletion process, and it is extremely wasteful in terms of operability and processing speed to repeat the same editing operation when a specific format is configured.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document creating apparatus capable of executing insertion or deletion of a horizontal ruled line by a simple operation.

(D) Means for Solving the Problem The document creating apparatus of the present invention capable of editing a table frame sectioned by a ruled line includes: an input unit for inputting a ruled line and a document; Text storage means for storing text data including a ruled line and a document, designating means for designating a table frame partitioned by ruled lines to be edited, and a range designation cursor when the designated table frame is complete. Cursor movement control means for restricting the movement of the text on the table frame, storage means for temporarily storing text data in an area over a range of several lines including the table frame, and data for the stored several lines. Calling means for calling at an arbitrary position on the text, insertion instructing means for instructing insertion of a horizontal ruled line when calling stored text data, and insertion being instructed by the insertion instructing means Horizontal ruled line creating means for analyzing the configuration of ruled lines in the arbitrary line data stored in the storage means, and creating horizontal ruled line data based on a specific format based on the analysis; And inserting means for inserting the data into the called text data.

In addition, the document creating apparatus of the present invention may further include a text stored in addition to the input unit described above, a text storage unit, a specifying unit that specifies a table frame, a cursor movement control unit, a storage unit, and a calling unit. When calling data, a deletion instruction means for instructing the deletion of a horizontal ruled line excluding the horizontal ruled lines of the first row and the last row; and when deletion is instructed by the deletion instruction means, the arbitrary line data stored in the storage means is deleted. And a horizontal ruled line deletion means for analyzing horizontal ruled line data based on a specific format based on the analysis.

(E) Function When the document creation device of the present invention inserts or deletes horizontal ruled line data based on a table frame that has already been created, the specified table frame is stored in temporary storage means, and the horizontal ruled line is inserted when called. Or, an insertion or deletion instruction means for instructing deletion is provided, and the configuration of ruled lines in arbitrary line data stored in the storage means is analyzed, and horizontal ruled line data is created or deleted based on a specific format based on the analysis. By providing a means for creating or deleting horizontal ruled lines, not only can automatic horizontal ruled line data be created or unnecessary horizontal ruled line data can be deleted, but also the specified table frame is completely When the cursor is provided with the cursor movement control means for restricting the movement of the range designation cursor on the table frame, the cursor does not exceed the table frame to be edited. Operation can be improved simplified processing speed.

(F) Example Hereinafter, this will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the document creation apparatus of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a keyboard as an input means.
A character key 1a, a memory instruction key 1b for instructing temporary storage of data, cursor keys 1c to 1f for specifying a range to be edited and moving to a position to be edited, a memory recall instruction key 1g, and a table frame. It has other function keys such as a rule key 1h for instructing a ruled line input to be sectioned and a conversion key for instructing kana-kanji conversion for the input when the input character is a Kanji conversion target reading. Reference numeral 2 denotes a row counter indicating the position of the cursor in the row direction, and reference numeral 3 denotes a cursor counter indicating the column direction of the cursor. Reference numeral 4 denotes a control unit that controls various components. Reference numeral 5 denotes a text buffer for storing text data including documents (character strings) and ruled lines input from the keyboard 1; 6, a one-line data reading unit for reading one line of data from the text buffer 5; A one-row data writing unit 8 for writing one-row data to the buffer 5 is a one-row buffer in which one-row data is written from the one-row data reading unit 6. The data is written to the text buffer 5 via the line data writing unit 7. Reference numeral 9 denotes a stored data analysis unit; 10, a text data analysis unit for analyzing text data written in the one-line buffer 8 based on a flowchart shown in FIG. 3 described later; 11, a text data calling unit; The data storage buffer 13 is a text data storage unit. The storage data analysis unit 9 to the text data storage unit 13 will be described later in detail. Reference numeral 14 denotes a display unit, which comprises a CRT display and an LCD display.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 3, when the designated table frame is complete, the cursor movement control for restricting the movement of the range designation cursor on the table frame, and the text data analysis unit 10 The analysis operation will be described.

First, in step S1, a memory instruction key on the keyboard 1
Determine whether 1b has been pressed. If the instruction key has been pressed, it is determined in the following S2 step whether the cursor position includes the S component and the E component on the ruled line.

Here, the S component and the E component on the ruled line will be described. The ruled line is used continuously over a plurality of character areas when forming the table frame.
As shown in FIG. 4, there are eleven types of ruled line elements, and each ruled line is associated with each direction, as shown by exemplifying a cross ruled line in FIG. 5, in N, E, W, and S directions of east, west, north, and south. And ruled line components N, E, W, and S components in each direction. The relationship between each ruled line and ruled line components is as shown in FIG.

Therefore, if it is determined in the steps 1S and S2 that the code is not a ruled line code or does not include the S component and the E component, the process ends.
If the cursor position includes the S component and the E component on the ruled line, the current cursor column variable XP is set in the column variable SP and the current cursor row variable LN is set in the row variable SL in step S1. In the subsequent S4 step, a key input is received from the keyboard 1. Here, it is particularly assumed that only a range designation direction instruction key (cursor keys 1c to 1f) and a range designation end key (execution key) are accepted.

When the key 1f in the E direction is input, it is confirmed in step S5 that the flag NS @ FG indicating that only the NS direction can be moved is 0 (movable in the EW direction). If it is possible to move in the EW direction, it is determined in step S6 whether the data at the position of the column variable XP is a ruled line and contains an E component. If the data at the position of the column variable XP is a ruled line and contains an E component, then, in step S7, it is determined whether the data at the position where the column variable XP is counted by one in the E component direction is a ruled line and contains a W component. I do.
As a result of the determination, if the data at the position where the column variable XP is counted by one in the E direction is a ruled line and includes the W component, the range designation cursor can be moved and the value of the column variable XP is set to 1 in the E direction.
Count (Step S8). That is, by counting up by one in the E direction, the continuity of the ruled line in the E direction is determined.

If the W direction key 1e is pressed to return to the W direction because the cursor movement for specifying the range in the E direction has gone too far in step S4, only the NS direction can be moved.
(Movable in EW direction) (S5 step). If it is possible to move in the EW direction, the column variable XP in step S9
Is larger than the column variable SP, and the value of the column variable XP is counted by one in the W direction, that is, subtracted (S10 step).

When the key 1f in the S direction is input in step S4, it is confirmed in step S11 that the value of the column variable XP is not the same as the column variable SP. Column variable if column variable XP is not the same as column variable SP
It is determined whether the data at the position of XP and the data at the position of the column variable SP are ruled lines and include an S component (S12 step).
If the data at the position of the column variable XP and the data at the position of the column variable SP are ruled lines and include an S component, at step S13, the data of the position of the column variable XP and the column variable on the row data indicated by the row variable LN + 1 It is determined whether the data at the SP position is a ruled line and contains N components. Column variable XP position data and column variable SP
If the data at the position is a ruled line and contains an N component, it can be moved in the S direction.
Is counted by one in the S direction (step S14).

When N direction key 1c is input in step S4,
After confirming that the value of LN is larger than the row variable SL (S15 step), the value of the row variable NL is counted by one in the N component direction (S1 step 16).

When the range specification end key is input in step S4, the column variable XP is set in the column variable EP, the row variable LN is set in the row variable EL (step S17), and the process of specifying the table frame range ends.

By performing this series of processing, the cursor key 1c
The movement of the range specification cursor by 1f means moving the table frame without leaving the table frame while specifying the range only on the completed table frame, thereby preventing mistakes in range specification and improving operability.

Next, the internal processing of the text data storage unit 13 for storing the text data whose range is specified by operating the memory instruction key 1b and the cursor keys 1c to 1f will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the number of lines of text data stored in step S20 is stored in a variable LCNT, and then the data length of one line of text data stored in step S21 is set in a variable LNG. When the setting of the data variables to be stored in the text data storage unit 13 is completed in this way, the value of the storage start row variable SL is set in the variable CNT in step S22.

Based on the range specification, the text data storage unit 13 does not exceed the storage last line variable EL (step S23),
While counting the variable CNT in the step, the data from the column variable SP to the column variable EP in the row data indicating the variable CNT is set in the text storage buffer MEM (*) (step S24).

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram of the text data stored in the text storage buffer 12MEM (*) as a result of the processing of the text data storage unit 13 when the entire table frame shown in FIG. Is shown.

Next, the internal processing of the text data calling unit 11 for calling the text data stored in the text storage buffer 12 from an arbitrary cursor position will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for inserting horizontal ruled line data into stored text data and calling it.
That is, this is an example of processing for inserting a horizontal ruled line in the middle of the table frame as shown in FIG. 2B, although the data of FIG. 2A is stored in the text storage buffer 12. The call position can be selected with the cursor keys 1c to 1f.

First, internal variables are initialized (S30 step). Variable M
AKE @ FG is a flag indicating that a horizontal ruled line has been created internally. The variable CNT is a variable indicating which line of the stored text data is to be called.

The text data calling unit 11 stores a variable LCNT indicating the number of lines of data stored in the text data storage buffer 12.
Is determined in step S31 so as not to exceed the value, and the variable CNT is counted up in step S32.

Next, in step S33, the one-line data reading unit 6
One line data indicated by the line variable LN is transferred from the text buffer 5 to 1
Read to row buffer 8. Variable MAK in judgment in step S34
If E ＄ FG = 0 (horizontal ruled line is not created),
The data of the variable CNT line of the text data storage buffer 12 is written from the position of the column variable XP to the line data in the one-line buffer 8 (step S35). When the writing in the location specified by the stored data is completed, the one-line data writing unit 7 converts the data in the one-line buffer 8 into the line variables in the text buffer 5 in step S36.
Write to the position indicated by LN, and set the S37 step row number variable LN to 1
Count up. Whether the variable CNT is the text storage start line or the last line (step S39), or the variable M
If AKE @ FG = 1 (step S38) (horizontal ruled line is created and written), the variable CNT is counted up by one in step S32, and the process returns to step S31 again. The variable CNT is not the text storage start line, not the last line, and the variable MAKE ＄
If FG = 0 (horizontal ruled line is not created), the stored data analysis unit 9 sets the variable CNT in the text storage buffer
The stored data in the line is analyzed to create horizontal ruled line data (step S40).

FIG. 10 (B) is a conceptual diagram showing an example of horizontal ruled line data created as a result of analyzing the stored data of an arbitrary row in FIG. 10 (A) by the stored data analysis unit 9. In this figure, the text data on the second line in FIG.
Column variables n + 1, n + 8 and n + 20 have vertical ruled line components, ie,
To the NS component, the E component is added to the starting column variable n + 1, the W component is added to the ending column variable n + 20, and the E and W components are added to the column variable n + 8 included in those column variable ranges. For the portion, the EW component of the horizontal ruled line component is created.

When the horizontal ruled line data is created, the variable MAK is set in step S41.
E ＄ FG = 1, the process returns to step S33, and as a result of the determination in step S34, the process proceeds to step S42 to write the created data into the text buffer 5. If the variable CNT exceeds the variable LCNT in step S31 as a result of repeating the above processing, all the stored data is called and the processing ends.

Here, when the storage data analysis unit 9 prepares a ruled line type (thin line, medium line, thick line, broken line, chain line, decoration line) when creating a horizontal ruled line data line, ruled line type data specified by the operator can be provided. Can also be created.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for deleting and calling horizontal ruled line data rows in the stored table frame data.

First, in step S50, internal variables are initialized. Variable C
NT is a variable indicating which line of the stored text data is to be called.

The text data retrieving unit 11 determines the variable CNT so as not to exceed the variable LCNT indicating the number of lines of data stored in the text data storage buffer 12 in step S51. One line data indicated by LN is read from the text buffer 5 to the one line buffer 8 (S52 step). If it is determined in step S53 that the variable CNT is not the text storage start line and is not the last line, the stored data analysis unit 9 includes the horizontal ruled line component in all the data of the variable CNT line of the text data storage buffer 12 in step S54. Is analyzed (step S54), and if not included, the data in the row CNT in the text data storage buffer 12 from the position of the column variable XP into the row data in the one-line buffer 8 in step S55 Write. When the stored data has been written to the specified location, the one-line data writing unit 7 writes the data in the one-line buffer 8 to the position indicated by the line variable LN in the text buffer 5 in step S56, and the line variable LN in step S58. Is incremented by one, and the process returns to step S51 again to shift to the processing of the next line.

If the horizontal ruled line component is included in all of the data on the variable CNT line of the text data storage buffer 12, it is determined that the data is a horizontal ruled line, and the processing of steps S55 to S57, that is, the data is stored in the text storage buffer 12. Write data to text buffer 5 (call memory)
Is skipped. Then, in step S58, only the variable CNT is counted by one, and the process returns to step S51 again. If the variable CNT exceeds the variable LCNT as a result of the repetition of the above processing, all the stored data is called and the processing ends.

As a result, based on the text data having a horizontal ruled line for each item of the table frame as shown in FIG. 2B, the text data having no horizontal ruled line except for the outer frame of the table frame as shown in FIG. It can be created at any position indicated by the cursor.

(G) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the document creation device of the present invention automatically creates horizontal ruled line data when inserting or deleting horizontal ruled line data based on a table frame that has already been created. Not only can you delete unnecessary horizontal ruled line data, but also when the specified table frame is complete, the cursor does not go over the table frame to be edited. Without destroying mixed character data,
Also, there is no need to repeat the same editing operation. Therefore, the editing operation can be simplified and the processing speed can be improved.
