Description

The present invention relates to a document creation program and an information processing device.

As a conventional technique, an information processing device that supports the creation of a contract document has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

The information processing device disclosed in Patent Document 1 outputs know-how and answer examples for each caution area included in the document when creating a contract document, and uses a search key to extract the caution areas. The know-how associated with the search key and the example answer associated with the search key are stored in the storage unit, and when a document is received, the search key is used to extract points that need attention from the document, and the points that need attention are extracted. In some cases, the document creator is supported by displaying the know-how and answer examples associated with the search key in association with the cautionary location. The information processing device also stores a new search key, know-how associated with the search key, and answer examples in the storage unit based on a request from the document creator, thereby accumulating information.

Further, an information processing device has been proposed that supports the creation of a contract document by presenting risks and countermeasures regarding the modified portion of the contract document (for example, see Patent Document 2).

The information processing device disclosed in Patent Document 2 divides the contract documents before and after the modification into respective articles, and extracts the differences between the corresponding articles of the contract documents before and after the modification. It searches the information prepared in advance according to the differences, and presents checkpoints related to the differences, possible risks associated with modification, and action plans for risk avoidance. The user edits the modified contract document according to the presented information.
