[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and is aimed at improving the operability of changing font size, and provides a document processing device that collectively changes the size of fonts within a specified range. A character size change instruction key, a code conversion table that associates character codes of the same character with different character sizes, and after pressing the character size change instruction key,
Reads the character codes within the specified range on the display screen from the editing buffer corresponding to the display screen, and selects one set from among the corresponding character codes of multiple character sizes by referring to the code conversion table. to change the character code in the editing buffer to edit the subsequent document, and also to change the character code to another font size by pressing the conversion key, and by pressing the character size change instruction key. It is configured to change and edit the size of characters within a specified range on the screen all at once.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to improvements in document processing devices.

In recent years, electronic computers equipped with document processing functions and word processors dedicated to document creation have become widespread.

Documents are created using these document processing devices (hereinafter referred to as word processors), and due to the layout etc., full-width characters (standard size) and horizontally enlarged characters (characters enlarged twice horizontally) are converted to half-width characters (standard size). (characters half the width of the character),
When reducing the size to full-width characters or vice versa, there is a problem of poor operability.

Therefore, there is a need for a document processing device that has improved operability when changing the size of characters.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a conventional operation example.

Figure 5 shows the operation for reducing the kana character ``word processor'' to half-width characters in order to fit the two-line document ``Using a Japanese word processor'' created with full-width characters into one line using a conventional word processor. An example is shown. According to FIG. 5, the following operations are required to change the font size.

First, press the function key to change the input mode to "Kana reduced characters" (step ■), and then to "Kana characters". Step ■ Move the cursor to the beginning of the target character. (Step ■) Press the letter key to input "word processor".

(Step ■) As a result, as shown in Figure 5, [Japanese Wordbook ■
``Use Cefthalocessor.'' In order to delete the "processor", set the mode to "delete" (step ■), move the cursor position to "su", which is the deletion end position, and step ■, actually move the cursor to the deletion start position. Set the mode to "Delete" (the cursor has already moved to the start position here) and press the execute key. (Step ■) As a result, "Processor" is deleted, and "Use Japanese word processor" will fit on one line.

In addition, when creating a document, if you want to enter and change "Japanese Word Processor Sensor", enter "Word Processor" in the reduced characters, then change the input mode to "Standard Characters" and select "Use". input.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When reducing character size using the editing function of a conventional word processor, it is necessary to change the input mode, re-enter the characters, and delete unnecessary parts.

This is also the case when enlarging (re-entering by inserting), and there is a problem of poor operability, especially when changing a document that has already been created.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that facilitates the operation of changing the font size.

[Means to solve the problem]

In Fig. 1, a diagram of the principles of the present invention, 9 is a character size change instruction key, 2 is a code conversion table, in which character codes of the same character but different character sizes are made to correspond, and 6 is a character size change section, which is used to change the character size. After pressing the size change instruction key 9, read the character codes within the specified range on the display screen from the editing buffer 4 corresponding to the display screen, and refer to the code conversion table 2 to change the corresponding multiple character sizes. The character code 1&l is selected from among the character codes, the character code in the editing buffer 4 is changed, and the subsequent document is edited, and the character code is changed to a character code of another character size by pressing the conversion key.

[Effect]

The operator presses the character size change instruction key 9 and specifies the change range on the display screen.

As a result, the character size changing unit 6 reads character codes within the specified range from the editing buffer 4, refers to the code conversion table 2, and selects one of the character codes of a plurality of different character sizes. to change the editing buffer 4 and edit the subsequent document.

As a result, the font size is changed (for example, from full-width characters to reduced characters) and the text is edited and displayed, but the conversion key 12
When pressed, the changed part is changed to the character code of another character size (for example, ruby, subscript).

As described above, simply by pressing the font size change instruction key 9 and specifying the change range, the font size within that range is changed all at once, so there is no need to re-enter characters, and editing operations such as deletion There is no need to do this (and the operability is greatly improved.

〔Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment shows an example in which a part of a created document is changed from full-width characters to reduced characters (including ruby characters).

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of one embodiment, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an operation example of the embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a processing flowchart. In FIG. 1, 1 is a main memory, into which a created document is loaded from a floppy disk or the like.

2 is a code conversion table, "kana" with reduced characters
, "Hiragana", "Alphanumeric", etc., correspond to character codes of different character sizes, such as full-width character code 1 half-width character code, subscript upper code, subscript lower code, etc. 4 is the editing buffer, which is used to edit the created document. The document to be displayed is transferred from the main memory 1, and its contents are updated in accordance with the input.

3 is a display unit which converts the character code in the editing buffer 4 into a pattern and displays it.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an editing section, which performs document creation and updating processing, and activates a font size changing section 6 by pressing a reduction designation key 9a (corresponding to the font size change command key 9).

Reference numeral 6 denotes a character size changing unit, which performs a character size changing process, which will be described later, when the reduction designation key 9a is pressed.

7 is cursor position information stored in a counter or the like.

8 is a keyboard, reduction designation key 9a, cursor key 1
0. Execution key 11. In addition to the conversion key 12, character keys and other function keys are provided.

In the word processor configured as above, an example will be described in which "Word Processor J" is changed to reduced characters in a document "Using Japanese Word Processor" created with full-width characters.

Note that the character code is 2 bytes for full-width characters and 1 byte for reduced characters.
Since it is expressed in bytes, when changing to reduced characters, the reduced character code is stored from the beginning of the specified range, and the remaining part is filled with the subsequent document.

An example of operation is shown below. See Figure 3 Step ① Press the reduction designation key 9a.

As a result, the character size changing unit 6 is activated.

Step ■ Move the cursor 13 to the first character "wa" of the target document.

Step ■ Press the execution key 11.

When the execution key 11 is pressed, the character size changing section 6 reads the cursor position information 7. As a result, the starting coordinate data of the change range is notified.

Step ■ Move the cursor I3 to the last "su" of the target document.

Step ■ Press the execution key.

As a result, the final coordinate data of the change range is notified to the character size change unit 6, and as shown in FIG.
Edited and displayed in rows.

Here, if another key such as the cursor key 10 is pressed, the change is confirmed, but if the conversion key 12 is pressed, the changed character in another input mode, for example, subscript upper mode, is displayed.

The processing performed by the character size changing unit 6 according to the above operation is as follows. See FIG. 4. (1) Set the input mode to the initial mode, for example, half-width character mode.

(2) Based on the coordinate data of "wa" to "su" of the first and last characters specified by the cursor 13, first read the first character code from the editing buffer 4, search the code conversion table 2, and see if it can be changed. If it can be changed, the corresponding half-width character code is extracted and stored in the first byte within the specified range of the editing buffer 4.

Note that if it is not registered, it will not be changed.

After this change processing is executed sequentially for each character code in the specified range, editing processing is performed to fill in subsequent documents.

As a result, "J using Japanese word processor is displayed on one line.

(3) i! If the conversion key 12 is pressed, the input mode is changed from the initial mode to the next mode, for example, subscript upper mode and subscript lower mode, and the "word processor" part is changed to "word processor". ``7-dop 吋ふ9'', ``Wah, 2ヮ6..j no goto<, mll
Change the contents of buffer 4.

This allows the operator to determine the desired reduced characters.

Note that confirmation is made when a key other than the conversion key 12 is pressed.

As described above, the target characters are converted all at once by specifying the range using the character size change instruction key 9, so there is no need to re-enter reduced characters, and there is no need for editing operations, which is much easier than conventional operations. Operation is simplified.

In the embodiment, changing from full-width characters to reduced characters was shown as an example, but it goes without saying that the opposite, that is, the case of enlarging the characters, can be implemented in the same way.

In this case, a separate enlargement designation key may be used, or the character size change command keys 91 may be used to sequentially change to reduced characters and enlarged characters by pressing the conversion key 12.

It goes without saying that the present invention is applicable not only to word processors dedicated to document creation, but also to computer systems that perform editing processing in a man-machine manner.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a document processing device that collectively changes the size of characters within a specified range, and when changing the size of characters in a created document, the characters are re-entered. This has the effect of greatly simplifying the operation, since there is no need to perform any editing operations.
