Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it unnecessary to execute reinput operation without being conscious of a character string to be erased by recovering only an optional character string to a document out of character strings erased from the document by a user stored it into a saving area. CONSTITUTION:The saving area 8 for storing character strings erased from an editing document is prepared, and in the case of erasing a character string from the editing document by deleting the character string or directly inputting character based upon a correction mode, the character string is stored in the saving area 8. The character string in the saving area 8 is displayed on a CRT screen 3 in accordance with a user's recovery request. A recovery character string required by the user is specified out of the saved character strings on the CRT screen 3 and the erased character string is recovered in the document.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document creation device, and in particular, when creating a document, if a necessary character string is accidentally deleted from the document being edited. , and relates to a document creation device that can recover the character string.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional document creation devices, if a necessary character string is accidentally deleted by a delete command or by directly inputting characters from the document being edited, the undo function that cancels the input command deletes the character string. Had restored the document to its previous state.

It also had functions such as a temporary save function to save the entire document and an automatic backup function.

An explanation example of the above function is shown below.

PAL 320HD/620HD Operation Manual (Function Enhancement Edition) 41 (1st edition April 1999) P46-7 [Problem to be solved by the invention] The conventional undo function corrects a large number of character strings in one edited document. If you want to recover only a small amount of character strings after doing so, you will have to perform a large amount of character manipulation again because the correctly modified portions will return to the state before the modification.

Since the temporary storage function is activated by the user's input of the temporary storage key, the user must always be aware of saving character strings.

The automatic punch-up function is not a reliable method because the timing of its operation is determined by conditions such as the number of data in the document and the operation time, so there is a possibility that the necessary character strings have not been saved.

As described above, there are problems to be solved in the conventional technology.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the present invention, a save area is provided to store character strings deleted from the document being edited, and when a character string is deleted from the document being edited by deleting the character string or directly inputting characters in the correction mode, the character string is deleted from the document being edited. Store the column in the save area.

CR the character string in the evacuation area in response to the user's recovery request
Display on the T screen. The user specifies the desired recovery character string from among the saved character strings on the CRT screen.

Then, by specifying a recovery light within the document, the erased character string is restored within the document, returning it to the state intended by the user.

[Effect]

By using the above method, the user does not need to be conscious of saving the character string to be deleted from the document.) When recovering the deleted character string, the character string in the save area is displayed on the CRT screen. By doing so, the character string that the user has deleted can be confirmed.

Any character can be restored into the document from the save area.

As a result of the above, there is no need for the user to take into account the trouble of re-entering characters or the timing of saving a document after character string recovery.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

Screen memory 1 to store data for screen display.Write data to screen memory 1 and transfer the data to CRT screen 3.
2゜Display control device 2゜CRT screen for visually displaying data in the screen memory 1゜Keyboard 4゜Keyboard 4゜contains characters, function keys, numeric keys, etc. for character input or control instruction means; Central processing unit for control 5゜ Storage device for storing programs and data 6゜ Random access for holding programs such as Japanese input 1 editing 2 display control, and various data including display control information for screen control Memory 7. Character string save area 8. Main memory 9. Document recovery function for saving and restoring data of character strings erased from documents.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, a method for saving character strings when they are deleted from an edited document will be explained.

In step L1, a deletion command key or a character key in the correction mode of the keyboard 4 is input while editing the document.

In step L2, it is checked whether characters are deleted from the document being edited by the key input in step L1.

The character string data erased in step L3 is stored in the character string save area 8.

If the character string is not deleted from the document being edited, the process ends without storing anything in the character string save area 8.

If editing the document erases characters in the document,
The above process is repeated to save the erased character string.

Next, a method for restoring character strings from the save area to an edited document will be described.

In step L1, the document recovery key on the keyboard 4 is input while editing the document.

In step L2, the character string existing in the character string save area 8 is displayed on the CRT screen 3.

In step L3, an arbitrary character string to be recovered is designated as a range from the character strings in the character string save area 8 displayed on the CRT screen 3.

In step L4, the character string in the character string save area 8 displayed on the CRT screen 3 is erased.

In step L5, a position on the edited document displayed on the CRT screen 3 to which one recovery character string is to be added is specified.

In step L6, data of the recovery character string specified in the range is added to the edited document.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to restore only arbitrary character strings from among the character strings deleted from the document being edited by the user.

As a result, the user does not need to be aware of the character string to be deleted while editing the document.

Also, in order to avoid recovering unnecessary strings, 1
Removal of unnecessary strings after string recovery.

There is no need to perform operations such as re-entering required character strings.
