Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily and quickly produce a document including tables by using a means which stores the right end position of a frame to which a cursor belongs in a table and a means which stores temporarily the data supplied into the frame. CONSTITUTION:A digit number counter COUNT24 and a write-close-to-right data input memory 21 are initialized with push of a write-close-to-right mode switch key 13. Then the contents of a document memory are stored in an RCOLUMN22 after searching a vertical ruled line toward the right from the position of a cursor to store the digit position contiguous to the left of said ruled line into the RCOLUMN22. Then the contents of the document memory are stored in an NUM23 after searching the vertical ruled line toward the left from the cursor position and defining the number of digits covering the digit position contiguous to the right of the ruled line through the digit position stored in the RCOLUMN22 as the number of input digits. Then a data input window screen 26 is displayed on a display device 16 under the cursor position as shown in the figure. Then the key input if received is decided and the input data are successively displayed on the window. The contents of the memory 21 are moved to a document storing memory 20 when the end of input is decided. Then the screen 26 is erased for completion of the operations of a document processor.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device having a tabulation function.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, when inputting horizontal documents, the cursor indicating the input start position was moved from left to right as the document data was input. The cursor was moved to the left position by the number of digits of input data from the right edge of the frame where data was to be input, and data was input from there.

In the conventional example above, the number of input digits for each piece of data is considered, and data can only be entered after accurately moving the cursor to the input start position according to the number of digits. There was a problem.

〔the purpose〕

The present invention includes a means for storing the right end position of a frame to which a cursor belongs in a table in a document memory, a memory for temporarily storing data to be input into the frame, and a means for displaying the contents. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing device which performs a process of transferring data to a document memory so that the end of data in the data storage memory is aligned with the stored right end position.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows the equipment configuration of a document processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, numeral 10 is a keyboard having keys 11, a data input completion key 12, a right-aligned mode switching key 13, and other keys 14. 15 is a CPU (central processing unit), and program 1 is stored in ROM 17.
8, each device connected via the path line 25 is controlled to complete document processing. Further, 19 is 11 (, AM (random access memory), which includes a document storage memory 20, a right-aligned data manual memory 21,
RCOLUMN memory 22 that stores a variable area that represents the rightmost digit position within the frame where the cursor is located, variable area NUM23 that represents the number of digits within the frame where the cursor is located, and digit number counter variable area C0UNT of the input data.
24 is stored. Reference numeral 16 denotes a display device such as a cathode ray tube, a liquid crystal display, or a plasma display for displaying the contents of the document storage memory 20, the contents of the right-justified data manual memory 21, and other information related to document processing.

FIG. 2 shows the screen of the display 16 during the process of this embodiment in which only numerical data is input right-justified into a table. 26 in the figure is a window screen that is displayed under the cursor only during the right-justified data input mode to display the contents of the right-justified data manual memory. When the right-justified data input mode ends, it disappears and returns to the original document storage memory. Return to the contents of 20.

Note that this window screen is displayed only in the width necessary to input data of the number of digits within the frame where the cursor is located.

The processing procedure for inputting numerical data to the right in a table according to this embodiment having the above configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, when the right-aligned mode switching key 13 shown in FIG. 1 is pressed in the normal document input mode, the process proceeds to step S1 in FIG. 3. Here, the input data digit number counter C0
O is stored in the UNT 24, the right-justified data manual memory 21 is all initialized to blank character codes, and the process advances to step S2.

In step S2, the content of the document memory is searched for a vertical ruled line from the cursor position to the right, and the digit position adjacent to the left of the vertical ruled line is stored in RCOLUMN 22.

If there is no vertical ruled line, set the column position at the end of the line to R, COLU
Store in MN22. Next, in step S3, the content of the document memory is searched for vertical ruled lines from the cursor position to the left,
NUM is the number of digits from the digit position touching the right side of the vertical ruled line to the digit position stored in RCOLUMN22 as the input digit number.
23. If there is no vertical ruled line, the number of digits from the digit position at the beginning of the line to the digit position stored in RCOLUMN 22 is stored in NUM 23. Subsequently, step S4
Proceed to 26 window screen □ in Figure 2 on display 16.
to be displayed. The window display position is below the cursor position, and if the display area is insufficient, the document data display is scrolled upward until the window can be displayed.

Further, the width of the window can only be entered by the number of digits stored in the variable NUM23. When the window display is completed, the process advances to step S5 and waits for key input from the keyboard 10. If any key is pressed, the process advances to step S6, and the input key is determined. If it is a data input completion key, the process advances to step S12; otherwise, the process advances to step S.
Proceed to step 7 to determine the input key again. Here, if it is other than a numeric key, the process returns to step S5, and if it is a numeric key, the process proceeds to step S8.

In step S8, the input digits are converted into character codes and stored in the right-aligned data manual memory as [number of bytes for one character xcOU].
NTO value] and proceeds to step S9. In step S9, the contents of the right-aligned data manual memory 21 are displayed in the window screen displayed in step S4, and then in step 810 the value of CO[JNT24 is incremented, and the process proceeds to step 811. If the number of digits entered here reaches the maximum number of digits that can be entered, that is, C0UN
If the value of T24 matches the value of NUM23, the process advances to step 812; if they do not match, the process returns to step S25, repeating the above process.

In step 812, it is determined whether or not a number has been input. If there is no input, that is, the value of C0UNT24 is 0, the process advances to step 814, and if there is an input, that is, the value of C0UNT24 is 0.
If the value of 24 is other than O, the process advances to step S13.

In step 813, the character code data of the number of characters indicated by the value of C0UNT24 is transferred from the beginning of the right-aligned data manual memory 21 to the document storage memory 20.

The storage location in the document storage memory 20 is after the column position indicated by the following formula in the line where the cursor is located.

Storage digit position 2 RCOLUMN22-COUNT24+1
When the process of step 813 is completed, the process advances to step S14. In step 814, the window screen 26 is erased from the display 16, the document data that was not visible on the window screen is redisplayed, the right-aligned data input mode is ended, and the process returns to the normal document input mode.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when inputting data right-aligned in a table in a document, inputting can be started simply by moving the cursor within the frame where the input is desired and switching the input mode. becomes possible. Therefore, it has the effect of making it easier and faster to create a document including tables.
