Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document editing device that can insert insertion data into a document that has been once edited. [Prior art] When inserting predetermined data into a document that has been edited,
Conventionally, this was done as follows. First, at the stage of editing one document, an insertion position designation symbol and a keyword representing the attributes of the insertion data are written at the insertion position in the document. On the other hand, be sure to write the same keywords as those written in the document in the insert data file together with the insert data. When inserting data into the main document, the insertion position of the data in the main document is found based on the insertion position specification symbol, and the data to be inserted in the data file is selected based on the keyword written there. The insertion position designation symbols and keywords in the main document were then rewritten with the selected insertion data. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above conventional technology, in order to insert merge data into a document, it is necessary to create a merge document file. In the case of data that will never be used again, creating an insert data file is troublesome. Also,
When creating a merge data file, it is necessary to write the keywords written in the document into the merge document file as well. In this way, in the above conventional technology,
There was a problem that the insertion operation was troublesome and it was not easy to use. The present invention has been made by focusing on these conventional problems, and aims to provide an easy-to-use document editing device that does not necessarily require the creation of a mail merge document file and allows easy insertion of mail data. be. [Means for Solving the Problem] The object is to provide a document editing device capable of inserting insert data into a document once edited, the ability to display attribute data representing attributes of insert data to be inserted into the document. This can be achieved by a document editing device characterized in that it is equipped with a data display means and an insertion data input means with which an operator can write insertion data into the document. Here, the attribute data may be a keyword that directly represents the attribute of the insertion data, text before or after the insertion position, or a table item if the edited item is a table. You can. Preferably, the document editing device is provided with an insertion position setting means for setting an insertion position of insertion data in the document, and an insertion position search means for searching for an insertion position from the document. Further, the document editing device includes an insert data file capable of storing a plurality of insert data, and specific insert data is specified from the stored insert data, so that the specified insert data can be transferred to the document. a specified insertion data input means to be written inside;
It is preferable that input selection means is provided for selecting whether to write the insertion data using either the insertion data input means or the specified insertion data input means. [When editing the effect, attribute data indicating the attributes of the inserted data is displayed. The operator recognizes what kind of insertion data should be written from the displayed attribute data, and writes this into the document using the insertion data input means. Therefore, the operator does not need to create the insertion data file and then edit the insertion data file, and can easily perform the insertion operation. In a document editing device equipped with an insertion data file and an input method selection means, if the insertion data is used relatively frequently, it is registered in the insertion data file, and the input selection means inputs specified insertion data. Select a method, and if the inserted data is something that will never be used again, select an insert data input method and perform insert editing. In this way, even if the insert data is relatively complicated to use or is unlikely to be used again, insert editing can be easily performed by selecting the insert data input method. [Embodiments] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the one-document editing device will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 10. A first embodiment of the document editing device will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5. As shown in FIG. 1, the document editing device includes a document editing device main body 10, a keyboard (KB) 21, a floppy disk device (FDD) 22, and a display device! (CRT)23

The insertion position setting means for setting the insertion position of the insertion data in the document, the insertion data input means for writing the insertion data at the insertion position, and the keyword display means for displaying keywords indicating the attributes of the insertion data are all connected to the keyboard 21. and RAM13 and RAM
C that operates based on the program stored in 13.
PUI 1, CRT 23, and CRT controller 17
It is made up of. The operation of the insertion position setting means is as follows.
This is achieved by displaying the insertion position setting symbol "ON" at the insertion position on the CRT 23 screen. The insertion position search means for searching the insertion position from the edited document is based on the RAM 13 and the program stored in the RAM 13. It consists of a CPU 1 that operates based on the CPU 1.Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be explained.First, a document to be inserted is created.When creating this document, as shown in FIG. , write the insertion position setting symbol 110" at the beginning of the insertion position of the insertion data, followed by a keyword that represents the attribute of the insertion data, and enter the keyword.

[
] Enclose it in brackets. In this example, the keyword is “date”
``Name'' is used. Once this document is created, register it. Next, see Figure 3~ for editing the merged data.
This will be explained based on FIG. As shown in Figure 5, when the document to be inserted is called (step 1), the data search pointer of the document is set to
(Step 2). Next, determine whether the data search pointer is at the end of the sentence.Step 3) If it is at the end of one sentence, end the merge editing, and if it is not at the end of one sentence, the character code of the document data pointed to by the data search pointer is at the insertion position. Determine whether it matches the character code of the setting symbol It O" (step 4). If the character code of the document data pointed to by the data search pointer matches the character code of the insertion position setting symbol u Ou The keyword "date" following the insertion position setting symbol "O" is displayed on CBr4 (step 5) as shown in Fig. 3.The operator:
Based on the keyword "date", insert data "August 31st" is input using the keyboard (step 6). At this time, the insertion position setting symbol 1 (OH) and the keyword "date" are rewritten to the insertion data "August 31st" as shown in Figure 4 (step 7). When inputting the insertion data, kana-kanji Editing functions such as deleting and inserting one character are accepted, and the edited character string is used as input data. Insertion data inserted by rewriting ``August 31''
The data end pointer for "day" is set as the data search pointer (step 8), and after adding 1 to this data search pointer (step 9), the process returns to step 3. The following is the data search pointer. The operations up to step 9 are repeated until the data search pointer indicates the end of the sentence, and when the data search pointer indicates the end of the sentence, the insert editing ends. In addition, step 5 is realized by the keyword display means.As described above, according to this embodiment, there is no need to create an insertion data file, and keywords can be written while editing the document. Merge editing can be easily performed. Next, a modification of this embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 6 and 7. In this modification, when creating a document, In the insertion position of the insertion data, as shown in Figure 6, insert the insertion area with the keyword “date”.

Write [ ] in advance, and when editing, insert the keyword ゛' as shown in Figure 7.
The text in the insert area [ ] with the date “August 3”
1 day” is displayed. When entering merge data, the merge area

If the sentence "August 31st" does not need to be changed, leave it as is, but if it does need to be changed, correct it. Next, a second embodiment of the document editing device will be described based on FIG. 8. In this embodiment, instead of the keyword display means in the first embodiment, a preceding and following sentence display means for displaying the sentences before and after the insertion position is provided, and the other configurations are the same as in the first embodiment. . When creating a document to be inserted, an insertion position setting symbol "O" is written at the beginning of the insertion position of the insertion data. At this time, there is no need to write keywords as in the first embodiment. During merge editing, in step 5 of the first embodiment,
In this embodiment, instead of the keyword being displayed, the text "Heisei" before the insertion position setting symbol "O" and the text "Year O month O day" after the insertion position setting symbol "O" are displayed as CBr4, as shown in FIG. will be displayed. The operator recognizes what to write as the insertion data from now on based on the text “O month O day, 2019” displayed before and after the insertion position setting symbol “O” displayed in 5, and inputs the insertion data from the keyboard, for example “ 2”. At this time, enter the insertion position setting symbol “O
” is rewritten to the insertion data “2”. According to this embodiment, the insertion data can be written based on the sentences before and after the insertion position setting symbol “O” that is displayed when editing the document. It is possible to create a document to be inserted without writing keywords inside it, and document creation can be easily performed.Next, a third embodiment of the document editing device is shown in FIGS. This example is an example where the edited document is a table,
1 instead of the keyword display means in the first embodiment
This embodiment is provided with table item display means for displaying the table item corresponding to the insertion position in the table, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. When creating a table for insertion, write the insertion position setting symbol "'O" at the beginning of the insertion position of the insertion data, as shown in Figure 9. In this case, as in the second embodiment, , there is no need to write keywords. During merge editing, in step 5 of the first embodiment,
In this embodiment, instead of displaying the keyword, the table item "Summary" corresponding to the insertion position setting symbol "O#" is displayed on the CRT 4 as shown in FIG. Based on the table item "Summary" corresponding to the insertion position setting symbol "O", it recognizes what should be written as insertion data from now on, and inputs insertion data, for example "stationery", from the keyboard. At this time, The insertion position setting symbol “O” is rewritten as the insertion data “Stationery”. According to this embodiment, the insertion data can be written based on the table items displayed during insertion editing, so the keyword can be entered while editing the table. It is possible to create a table to be inserted without writing, and it is possible to easily create five tables.The various embodiments described above include an insert data file that can store a plurality of insert data. , a designated insert data input means for writing designated insert data from a plurality of stored insert data into an insert position, and a determination as to whether the insert data is to be written by either the insert data input means or the designated insert data input means. It is preferable to provide an input means selection means that allows selection. By adding such a configuration, when insert data is used relatively frequently, it is possible to register such insert data in the insert data file. Then, by selecting the specified insert data input method using the input selection method 1 during insert editing, the registered insert data will be written to the insert position, making insert editing easier. Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the attribute data display means and the insertion data input means that allow the operator to write the insertion data into the document are provided, so the operator can write the insertion data into the document based on the attribute data. This eliminates the need to necessarily create a mail merge document file, and facilitates the mail merge operation.
