Abstract

PURPOSE:To insert a ruled line in the vertical direction to the digit of an inserted row corresponding to the digit where a ruled line in the vertical direction exists by discriminating whether ruled lines in the vertical direction exist in rows preceding and succeeding the inserted row or not. CONSTITUTION:A control program to execute the row insertion processing is stored in a ROM 102, and this processing is started by depression of a key on a keyboard 104. In the row insertion processing, a new row is inserted to the row where a cursor is placed at present, and following rows are moved down by one row. If a vertical line code 57 exists in the row where the cursor is placed, its position in the column direction is stored in a working area 122. When the vertical line code 57 exists in the stored column position in the row preceding the inserted row, the vertical line code 57 is inserted to the corresponding position of the inserted row to terminate the processing.

Description

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

[Conventional Technology] Word processors have been known that have tabulation functions that can create ruled lines and tables.

In such a word processor, there are cases where it is desired to add a new line to a table that has already been manually entered as ruled line information. In general, the line insertion function is well known as a function that adds new lines to a normal document, but this line insertion function inserts a new line into a document, and the line insertion function to a border line is a function that inserts a new line into a document. I didn't have it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] For example, if a line insertion operation is performed on a line with ruled lines, the vertical ruled lines of the newly inserted line will be cut off. In Figures 2 and 3, if you want to insert a line between lines 21 and 22 of the document data containing the ruled line information shown in Figure 2, move the cursor 23 to line 22.
Press the line insert key while the line is positioned at . As a result, as shown in Figure 3, a new row 24 is inserted between rows 21 and 22, but the original vertical ruled line in this row 24 section is cut off, causing the tabulation data to become corrupted. There was a problem with it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional example, and an object of the present invention is to propose a document processing device that prevents vertical line information from being cut when a row is inserted in tabulation data.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the document processing device of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the document processing device has a tabulation function, and includes an instructing means for instructing line insertion, and when the instructing means instructs to insert a line, a vertical line is inserted in corresponding columns of the lines before and after the inserted line. a determining means for determining whether or not there is ruled line information indicating that the ruled line is in the vertical direction; and when the determining means determines that there is ruled line information in the vertical direction, the vertically placed and an insertion means for inserting directional ruled line information.

[For use] In the above configuration, when row insertion is instructed by the instruction means for instructing row insertion, ruled lines indicating that the lines are in the fir direction are placed in corresponding columns of the rows before and after the inserted row. Determine whether information exists. As a result, when it is determined that there is vertical ruled line information, the vertical ruled line information is inserted into the column of the inserted line that corresponds to the column where the vertical ruled line information exists.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[Configuration of word processor (FIGS. 1 and 4)] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the schematic configuration of the word processor of this embodiment.

In the figure, 1' 0 1 is a CPU such as a microprocessor that controls the entire device. 102 is CPU 1
A ROM that stores 01 control programs and various data. A RAM 103 is used as a work area for the CPU 101, and includes a document file 121 storing document information in a code format, a working area 122 used when executing CPUIOI processing, and the like.

Reference numeral 104 designates a keyboard for inputting document information and various instructions, the details of which are shown in FIG. 4, and includes an insert key 111, a line input key 112, a function key 113, etc. in addition to character and symbol keys. ]. 0 5 is keep 1' 1 0
This is a keyboard interface section that performs data input/output control between the computer 4 and the system bus 108. 106
107 is a display control unit that controls the display of the display unit 106, which includes a bitmap memory for display (not shown), and CPU]. According to instructions from 01, various data are displayed as dots and images.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the key arrangement of the keyboard 104 of the embodiment.

1] 1 is the insertion key, which sets the document insertion mode when inputting document information, and by pressing it at the same time as the function key 113, inserts a new line into the line where the cursor is currently located. . Reference numeral 112 is a manual key for ruled line data, and by pressing this key 112, "◆" is input at the position where the cursor is present. Furthermore, by pressing this key 112 and the function key 113 at the same time, the "◆" mark can be changed to a line display to create ruled line information.

[Description of Operation (FIGS. 1 to 7)] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the structure of document data stored in the document file 121.

In the figure, 51 to 54 indicate each row of document data, and row 51 stores only ruled line information. 55 is a corner ruled line code indicating that the ruled line is a corner, and 56 is a horizontal ruled line code indicating a horizontal ruled line. Further, 57 does not indicate a vertical ruled line, but is a vertical ruled line coat. Now, display section]. 0
6, the cursor is placed at the line position corresponding to line 53, and the function key 113 and insert key of the keyboard 104 are pressed.
When a row insertion instruction is input by , a new row 58 is inserted between rows 52 and 53.

At this time, since a vertical ruled line code 57 indicating that a vertical ruled line exists at the corresponding column position between rows 52 and 53 that sandwich this new row is stored, the corresponding position of the new row 58 is stored. A vertical ruled line code 57 is written in 59. Similarly, a vertical ruled line code 57 is also set in column 61 (indicated by 61) in row 58.

This prevents the vertical ruled lines of the ruled line data from being cut even if a row is inserted into the tabulation data.

Next, this row insertion processing operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing manual key processing in the word processor of the embodiment. A control program for executing this processing is stored in the ROM 102, and this processing is started when a key on the keyboard 104 is pressed.

First, step S1 is the keyboard interface section 10.
The key code entered manually in step S2 is read, and it is determined in step S2 whether the pressed key is a key for instructing row insertion (whether the insert key 111 and function key 113 were pressed at the same time). If the key is not a row insert key, step S3
, and executes the process corresponding to the input key.

If the row insert key is pressed in step S2, the process proceeds to step S4, where a new row is inserted into the row where the cursor is currently positioned to create a new row, and subsequent rows are moved down by one row. Next, the process proceeds to step S5, and the line where the cursor originally existed (
In the line (one line below the newly inserted line), a vertical ruled line code 57 or a square ruled line code 55 as shown in FIGS.
Check if exists. When the vertical ruled line code 57 etc. does not exist, at least this line does not include a vertical ruled line, so the process ends at step S8 without doing anything, but when the vertical ruled line code 57 does exist, the process ends at step S8. stores its position in the column direction in the working area 122.

Next, in step S6, it is determined whether there is a vertical ruled line coat 57 or a square ruled line coat in the column position corresponding to the column direction position stored in step S5 in the row immediately before the newly inserted row. I see. Here, if there is no vertical ruled line code 57 etc. in the corresponding column position, it is assumed that this vertical ruled line starts from the bottom of the newly inserted row, and the process ends in step S8 without doing anything. If a code indicating the existence of a ruled line exists, the process advances to step S7, where a vertical ruled line code 57 is inserted at the corresponding position of the newly inserted line, and the process ends.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the vertical ruled line code 57 is inserted into the column position corresponding to the newly inserted row, and the table data is not corrupted.

In addition to the above-described embodiments, it is also possible to determine whether or not a vertical ruled line exists using a ruled line code such as that shown in FIG. 9, in which a vertical ruled line may exist. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when a cursor is placed at the IOA position and a row is inserted, the result must be as shown in FIG. 10. Here, IOB
indicates a newly inserted line, and the ruled line information inserted in this line is not ``H'', ``Mo'', etc., but ``1''.

In addition, although this embodiment has been explained in the case of single-line ruled line information, the information is not limited to this, and dotted lines, thick lines,
Of course, the invention can be similarly applied to other modified ruled lines such as thin lines or double lines.

[Description of the second embodiment (Figs. 11 to 13)] Now,
In the tabulation document shown in Figure 11, for example, the ruled line part
If you wanted to transform using "★" as shown in the figure, you had no choice but to manually add the symbols "★" one by one to the ruled lines.

Therefore, in this second embodiment, the ruled line portion can be replaced with another symbol by a simple operation. This operation will be explained below.

When table data as shown in FIG. 11 is being created and displayed, the operator instructs the cursor to move using the cursor movement key 116, for example, if the cursor is moved to the position of the symbol ``★'' in the document. , the symbol to be converted is specified. By pressing the function key 113 and page break key 114 at the same time, the symbol "★" currently indicated by the cursor is set as the replacement symbol, and this symbol " ★”
The code is stored in the working area 122 of the RAM 103. Then, function key 1 on the keyboard 104
33 and selection key 115 at the same time,
It is possible to instruct replacement processing to replace ruled line information with replacement characters.

Thereby, the state shown in FIG. 11 can be easily converted to the state shown in FIG. 12. This process will be explained below.

This process is started when a key on the keyboard 104 is pressed, and a key code corresponding to the pressed key is input in step Sll. In step S12, the key instructs the replacement character (function key 133 + page break key 1).
14), the process proceeds to step S13, where the character currently pointed by the cursor is set as a replacement character, and its code is stored in the working area 122 at step S14.

On the other hand, if the replacement character is not specified in step S12, the process advances to step S15, where it is checked whether it is a replacement key (function key 133 + selection key 115), and if it is not a replacement key, the process corresponding to the pressed key is executed in step S16. However, if it is a replacement key, the process advances to step S17, where the pointer is set to the beginning of the document in the document file 121, and in step 818, it is checked whether the code pointed to by the pointer is a code indicating ruled line data. If it is ruled line data, the process advances to step S19, and the code is sent to step S1.
Replace it with the code stored in step 4.

In step S20, the pointer is moved to the next character position, and in step S23, it is checked whether the final point of the document file has been reached. If it has not been reached, the process returns to step S18, and the above-mentioned process is continued until all document data of the document file is checked. Perform an action repeatedly. As a result, the ruled line data portion is replaced with the characters or symbols specified in step 313.

Note that by allowing the translator to specify in advance the range of document data that can be replaced, only desired ruled line portions can be replaced with desired characters, symbols, etc. This can be easily accomplished by setting the pointer to the beginning of the designated range in step S17 and checking whether the range is at the end of the document in step S21.

Furthermore, if there are double ruled lines, decorative ruled lines, etc., the operator may instruct which type of ruled line part he or she wishes to replace.

Also, if you replace the ruled line information with characters or symbols, it will become indistinguishable from the original document information, so for example, 4 bytes
When characters/symbols are represented, a bit indicating that the data is a ruled line is provided in the data, and this bit can be used to distinguish between the ruled line and the characters in the document. Also,
By providing this bit with information about the vertical direction, horizontal direction, or corner portions of the original ruled line, the ruled line can be expressed more accurately.

As explained above, according to this second embodiment, if you want to express the frame of a table with other characters or symbols instead of ruled lines, you can create the frame part with ruled lines when tabulating the table, and then After the line is completed, the ruled line area can be replaced with any character or symbol, which has the effect of saving the effort of reinserting characters into the ruled line area.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, when a row is inserted into tabulation data, the vertical line information is not cut off, so it is easy to insert a row into tabulation data. The effect is that it can be added.
