Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep the balance in a document in which an alphabetical character text and a Japanese character text are mixed by providing a base line change means which changes position relation between the base line of the alphabetical character text and that of the Japanese character text, and a character size change means which changes the relation of character size of the alphabetical character text and the Japanese character text. CONSTITUTION:Firstly, it is checked whether or not an instruction to move the base line of the alphabetical character text or the one to change magnification is issued in a state where a certain frame is instructed, and when the instruction to move the base line is issued, a preset character indentation ratio is stored in an alphabetical character text base line storage part 3a after setting the indentation ratio of the alphabetical character text. Meanwhile, when the instruction to change the magnification of the alphabetical character text is issued, a set ratio is stored in an alphabetical character text magnification storage part 3b after setting the value of the magnification storage part 3b after setting the value of the magnification of the alphabetical character text. The change processing of the alphabetical character text is performed according to set indentation ratio and magnification, and it is judged whether or not the present indentation ratio and magnification should be defined, and when they are defined, the data of indentation of the alphabetical character text or that of the magnification of it in frame information is updated. In such a way, it is possible to keep the balance of the document in which the alphabetical character text and the Japanese character text are mixed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and particularly to a document processing device that processes documents containing a mixture of European and Japanese languages. [Prior Art] In the above device, In general, European and Japanese languages, which are expressed using the same series (number of points), have different baselines. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when characters are expanded into dots, the bottom line of Japanese text is at the bottom, and the baseline of European text is at an intermediate position because of the characters g, y, etc. Therefore, if the baselines are made to match in a sentence that is a mixture of European and Japanese texts that have the same series, the European text will appear lower than the baseline. Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the normal Roman letters are located above the baseline, the font size is smaller than the Japanese letters, and the size cannot be balanced.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention provides a document processing device that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and makes it possible to balance sentences in which European and Japanese languages coexist.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve this problem, the document processing device of the present invention has the following features:
A document processing device for processing documents containing a mixture of European and Japanese characters, comprising a baseline changing means for changing the positional relationship between the European and Japanese baselines, and a method for changing the font size of the European and Japanese characters. and font size changing means for changing the relationship.

Here, the baseline changing means and the character size changing means independently change the Roman text or the Japanese text.

[Effects] In this configuration, the position and size of the baseline can be changed, so it is possible to maintain a balance between European and Japanese texts.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document processing apparatus according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, only an example of control for changing Latin characters is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this.

In the figure, 1 is a CPU that controls the entire device, and 2 is a CPU that controls the entire device.
This is a ROM that stores programs to be executed by the PU 1, and includes a Roman language conversion program 2a, which will be described later. A RAM 3 is used to load a program read from an external storage device 7, which will be described later, and is used as a work area for the CPU 1, and has a Roman language baseline storage section 3a and a Roman language magnification storage section 3b. Incidentally, the European language change program may be stored in the external storage device 7.

4 is a font memory that stores pattern data such as dot data or vector data in correspondence with character codes to generate character patterns; 5 is a VRAM that develops images to be displayed on the display screen; and 6 is the VRAM.
This is a CRT display that displays the image developed in 5. Reference numeral 7 denotes an external storage device, typically a floppy disk device or a hard disk device, which stores various programs related to document processing in this device.

A keyboard 8 is used to input various characters constituting a document or give predetermined instructions to the apparatus, and a mouse 9 is used to control the movement of a graphic cursor displayed on the display screen of the CRT display 6. Reference numeral 10 denotes an image memory capable of developing an image for one page of recording paper when the stage of actual printing processing is reached; reference numeral 11 forms a visible image on the recording medium based on the image developed in the image memory 10. It is a printer that Note that the printer 11 in this embodiment is a laser beam printer.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of frame information 20 that defines a frame.

21 is the frame number, 22 is the coordinates of the start position of the frame (usually the upper left corner), 23 is the size of the frame (usually the coordinates of the lower right corner or width and height), 24 is a pointer to another frame, 25 is the frame This attribute has related information such as the number of types and format of data within the frame, and in this example, this attribute includes
6 and a European language magnification of 27.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure according to the present invention of the document processing apparatus of this embodiment. .

First, with a certain frame designated, it is checked in step S31 or 534 whether or not there has been an instruction to move the Roman baseline or change the magnification. When there is an instruction to move the baseline, the setting of the indentation rate for European characters is waited for in step S32, and the set indentation rate is stored in the Roman character baseline storage section 3a in step S33. On the other hand, if there is an instruction to change the Latin language magnification, the setting of the Latin language magnification value is waited for in step S35, and the set magnification is stored in the Latin language magnification storage section 3b in step S36. In step S37,
The process of changing the Latin text is performed according to the stored indentation rate and magnification. In step S38, the modified document is displayed or printed. In step S39, it is determined whether or not to confirm the current indentation rate and magnification, and in the case of confirmation, in step S40, the data of the Latin indentation rate 26 or the Latin magnification 27 in the frame information is updated.

The state of the output corresponding to the indentation rate and magnification is shown in FIG. In this example, the character grade is grade 18 and the Japanese font is Hon Mincho-M. The European font in Figure 4 (a) is Eg.
yptian 505 B, and a magnification of 110% is preferable for balance. Furthermore, the European font in FIG. 4(b) is Century SBK B, and an indentation rate of 15% is preferable for balance.

In this embodiment, a case is shown in which the indentation rate and magnification are stored in the frame information in correspondence with the frame, but it is possible to set the indentation rate and magnification of European characters regardless of the frame, documents or all documents at a time.Also, by setting the indentation rate and magnification in advance, in the case of a mixed document of European and Japanese characters, the indentation rate and magnification will be automatically set to 15% in the above example. 120%
The control may be such that the document is expanded with .

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a document processing device that makes it possible to balance sentences in which European and Japanese languages coexist.
