DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device such as a word processor that is capable of exchanging items between a plurality of adjacent items in a table.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional document creation devices such as word processors, when exchanging the positions of multiple items in a table consisting of multiple items, designate blocks for each of the multiple items and store them in memory. After storing the items, it is necessary to specify the destination of each item and replace it, and then modify the table frame.Therefore, there is a problem that the procedure for replacing items is complicated and the operability of the device is low.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and by simply specifying the item to be replaced and the arrangement order, the positions of multiple items can be replaced in the specified arrangement order, thereby making it possible to exchange the positions of multiple items in the specified arrangement order. An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device in which a replacement procedure is simple and the device has high operability.

[Means to solve the problem]

A document creation device of the present invention is a document creation device capable of swapping the positions of items between a plurality of adjacent items in a table, and includes a means for specifying an item to be replaced, a means for specifying an arrangement order of items, and a means for specifying an item to be replaced. and means for changing the positions of the items to be replaced in the specified placement order after specifying the placement order.

[Effect]

After specifying a plurality of items to be replaced and their arrangement order, the document creation device of the present invention replaces the positions of the plurality of items according to the specified arrangement order.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on drawings showing embodiments thereof.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the document creation device of the present invention. 1 in the figure is a keyboard equipped with a key for instructing the replacement of multiple items in a table, a key for specifying the item to be replaced, an execution key, a cancel key, etc. Commands input from the keyboard 1 are sent to the control unit 4. Man-powered. The control unit 4 controls the data transfer between each part of the device according to instructions given manually.The zero line counter 2 counts the number of lines in the document.
A cursor counter 3 counts the number of characters in one line.

The text buffer 5 stores the document, and the table frame determination unit 6 determines whether the table frame from the replacement start position to the replacement destination or from the replacement start line to the replacement end line is complete. The one-line data reading unit 7 reads a maximum of one line of the document from the text buffer 5 and stores it in the one-line buffer 9. The item replacement unit 10 replaces multiple items of a maximum of one line of documents stored in the one-line buffer 9 and writes them into a work buffer 11 provided with the same size as the one-line buffer 9. The one-line data writing unit 8 is a work buffer. 11 is written into the text buffer 5. CRT
A display unit 12 consisting of a display unit 12 displays the document in the text buffer 5.

Next, a procedure for exchanging a plurality of items using the document creation apparatus configured as described above will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, it is determined whether or not the multiple item exchange instruction key in the table has been pressed. If a key has been pressed, it is determined whether the cursor position is within a swappable item. If the cursor exists within the item, the cursor position is set to variable X, the position of the left ruled line nearest to x is set to variable XS and variables xr, w, and the position of the right ruled line is set to variable XE and variable XRW.

Next, in order to clearly indicate the first item to be replaced, the display from XLW to XRW is changed, for example, by blinking or the like.

Furthermore, the number of items variable BK is set to "l".

Next, when the item designation key is input, the process of designating the second and subsequent items is repeated while the key is being input. First, the direction of the second item with respect to the first item is determined, and if the second item is to the right, "In" is set to the flag variable 5IDE$FG, and if it is to the left, "2n" is set.

If XS and XLW match and 5IDE$FG specifies items to the left with 2 passes, set XRW to XS.

5If IDE$FG is "1", set the position one half-width character to the right of the XRW position to the cursor position variable X, and add "l" to BK. If 5rDE$FG is “2”,
Set the position of one half-width alumni from the position of XLW to the cursor position variable X, and add 1'' to BK.

Next, if 5IDE$FG is “1”, the cursor position
Set the most recent left ruled line position to variable XLW, the right ruled line position to variable XRW, set XRW to XE, and
The display from the LW position to the XRW position is changed to indicate that it is a designated item.

Also, if 5IDE$FC is “2”, the cursor position fx
Set the most recent left ruled line position to variable XLW, the right ruled line position to variable XRW, set XLW to XE, and
The display from the LW position to the XRW position is changed to indicate that it is a designated item.

Repeat this to specify the second and subsequent items.

As described above, the execution key can be input only when a plurality of items have been determined. The table frame determining unit 6 determines whether or not the space between XS and XE is a complete table frame. If the table frame is complete, the replacement start line, which is the horizontal ruled line above the row where the cursor is located, is set to variable SL, and the end line, which is the lowest horizontal ruled line of the complete table frame, is set to variable EL.

Next, if PO3$FG is 2, replace XS and XE, and XS and Xt? , and the position of the vertical ruled line from the position of XS to the position of XE in the ruled line position table PO3 PO5
Set (B K+1) locations from (0) to PO3 (BK). The first item is from the position of PO3(0) to the position of PO3(1), the second item is from PO3(1) to PO3(2), and the BK item is from PO3(BK-1) to PO3(BK). shall be. In the message line [1, 2,...
BK] and the item number variable is displayed up to BK. In order to enter the replacement order number on the right side of the screen, a cursor will be displayed. When the replacement order is input by the operator, the manually entered numbers are transferred from JUN (0) to JUN (BK-1) in the replacement order number table JtJN.
) in the BK place.

Set the replacement start row SL to the row counter variable ML. The one-line data reading unit 7 reads one line specified by the variable ML from the text buffer 5 to the one-line buffer 9. A work buffer 11 of the same size as the one-row buffer 9 is provided, and the contents of the one-row buffer 9 are read into the work buffer 11! Set PO3(0) to position WPO3 of l.

Set the item width size WIDE of the one-line buffer 9 to “0”. Set variable 1 to '0' and repeat the following process until I exceeds BK.

Add WIDE to wpos. Set (JUN (1)-1) in position LPO3 of the one-line buffer 9. W
From PO3(JUN (+)) to PO3(JUN
Set the width size of the first item minus (+)-1). WID starting from LP01 of 1-line buffer 9
Transfer the contents of the size of E to the work buffer ■1 with wpos as the starting position, and add "1" to ■.

The item replacement unit 10 executes JUN(0) as described above.
According to the sequential numbers from JUN (BK-1) to JUN (BK-1), the contents of the items starting from the position of table PO3 in the one-line buffer 9 are written starting from the position of XS in the work buffer 11.

After writing one line, the one-line data writing unit 8 writes the contents of the work buffer 11 to the text buffer 5. The display unit 12 displays the line in the text buffer 5 specified by the ML. “1” is set in the variable ML of row counter 2.
” is added to complete the replacement of multiple items in one line.

The above operations are performed to move the ML line by line until the ML passes the last line EL, thereby completing the replacement of the plurality of items.

Figure 2 is an example of screen display for moving items, and Figure 2 (a)
After specifying the first item ``Age'' in the table consisting of ``Membership Number'', ``Name'', ``Age'', ``Address'', [Gender, RA, Blood Type] as shown in Figure 2 (b) ), specify the second item ``Address'', the third item ``Gender'', and the fourth item Device in the right direction, and set the order of their replacement as '2, 4.1.
When 3J is specified, these multiple items are exchanged according to the specified exchange order, as shown in FIG. 2(C).

Although this embodiment has been described with reference to the case where items are transposed in the horizontal direction of the table, it is also possible to apply this to the case where the items are transposed in the vertical direction, and the same effect can be obtained.

[Effects of the Invention] The document creation device of the present invention is configured to swap the positions of items among the multiple items in the specified placement order by simply specifying the multiple items to be replaced and the order in which they are placed. The procedure is simple and the device has excellent operability.
