[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, in the conventional document creation device with a deletion restoration function, since only a single deletion restoration function is provided, it is difficult to restore deleted characters to a certain specific character. When it is desired to restore the character size, there is a problem in that after deleting and restoring the character, a specific magnification must be specified for the character to be restored, which requires complicated operations.

[0005] The present invention provides extensibility to the deletion restoration function, and allows document creation to be performed in a deletion restoration mode in which deletion is restored using the font size at the time of deletion, and in a deletion restoration mode in which deleted characters are restored in the block cursor size. To provide a document creation device realizing an easy-to-operate character editing function that can be used selectively depending on the purpose.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a document creation device in which the size of a block cursor can be varied and the font size at the block cursor position can be specified by the size of the block cursor. If the first deletion restoration mode is specified at the time of specification means and deletion restoration specification, the deleted character is restored in the character size at the time of deletion, and if the second deletion restoration mode is specified, it is blocked. The present invention is characterized by comprising means for restoring deleted characters according to the size of the cursor.

[0007]

[Operation] When deletion restoration is specified in the first deletion restoration mode, the deleted character is restored in the font size at the time of deletion based on the attribute information of the deleted character, and the second deletion restoration mode It is characterized in that when deletion restoration is specified in the mode, the deleted character is restored in a character size according to the block cursor size based on the size of the block cursor.

[0008] In this way, the deletion restoration mode that restores deleted characters in the font size at the time of deletion and the deletion restoration mode that restores deleted characters in the block cursor size can be used selectively depending on the purpose of document creation. By making this possible, it is possible to realize advanced character editing functions with good operability, and document creation work can be executed efficiently and quickly.
