Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare or to designate a character ruled line with KANA (a Japanese syllabary) and KANJI (Chinese character) conversion, a picture symbol and a phonelic symbol, etc., by freely selecting a code, which can be used as a character such as a KANJI with including the symbol, as a ruled line type and preparing ruled line data. CONSTITUTION:When a ruled line key 7-1 is depressed, a CPU 1 displays a selecting picture on a display 11. When a selecting/executing key 7-2 is depressed by matching a cursor to a ruled line desired to be used, the CPU 1 stores the ruled line type in a ruled line type storing area 25-5 of a RAM 25. The CPU 1 refers the area 25-5 and reads a pattern, which corresponds to the respective codes in a document buffer area 25-1, from a character pattern area 23-2 or a phonetic symbol pattern area 25-4 and the pattern is set to a RAM 13 for display or a line buffer 25-3, etc., and outputted to the display 11 or a printer 17. Thus, the code, which can be used as the character such as KANJI with including the symbol, is freely selected and the ruled line data can be prepared.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document creation device that can register characters (pictograms, kanji, etc.) as ruled line types and create ruled line data.

(Prior Art) In recent years, with the development of microcomputers, various document creation devices have been developed. Among such document creation devices, there are those that have a grid line that allows ruled lines to be created using characters (pictograms, kanji, etc.).

However, conventionally, it has not been possible to create or specify characters to be used as ruled lines as external characters. Furthermore, it was not possible to freely change the character type of the character borders. Therefore, it was not possible to create the original characters created by opaque, and it had the disadvantage of lacking flexibility.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As mentioned above, the conventional character line? f! In a document creation device having the A function, it was not possible to create or specify characters to be used in character ruled lines as external characters.

Furthermore, it was not possible to freely change the character type of the character borders.

An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that can register the character types of character ruled lines and freely select them to create ruled line data.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The document creation device of the present invention includes a character selection means for selecting characters, a character registration means for registering the selected characters as a ruled line type, and a registered character pattern. and a character ruled line development means that is used to create ruled line data.

(Function) It is possible to freely select codes that can be used as characters such as kanji, including non-standard characters, as the ruled line type, to create ruled line data, and to change it to any character ruled line.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

It has a ruled line type storage area 25-5 for storing a selected ruled line type among a plurality of ruled lines, a changed ruled line type storage area 25-6 for storing changed ruled line types, and the like.

The operation of the document creation apparatus of the present invention configured as described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7. First, we will explain how to select the type of ruled line. At Stella f27 in FIG. 2, the CPU 1 accepts key human power.

That is, when the ruled line key 7-1 on the keypad door is pressed, the selection screen shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the display 11. On this selection screen, align the cursor with the desired ruled line and press the select/execute key 7-2. In step 29 of FIG. 2, CPU J determines whether the selection/execution key 7-2 has been pressed. If it is determined that the button has been pressed, the selected ruled line type is stored in the ruled line type storage area 25-5 in step 3. On the other hand, if it is not the selection/execution key 7-2, 1
At step 33, it is determined whether the cancel key 7-14 is pressed. If it is determined in step f33 that the cancel key 7-4 has been pressed, the CPU 1 extracts the ruled line creation processing routine. On the other hand, in Stella 7″ss, if it is determined that the previous candidate/next candidate key 7-5 is pressed, the CP

This will be explained with reference to the figures. In Stella flj5, CP
The UI refers to the code set in the document path area 25-1. If step f87 determines that the dummy code is 1, step f89 replaces it with the first modified ruled line stored in the modified ruled line type storage area 25-6. Furthermore, if it is determined that the dummy code is 2 in Stella f91, then in step 93 it is replaced with the code of the second modified ruled line type stored in the modified ruled line d storage area 25-6. As a result, the document buffer area 25-1
All ruled line types will be changed to the changed ruled line type all at once. Next, in step 95, the /ya turn corresponding to each code in the document buffer area 25-1 is inserted into the character pattern area 23-1.
