DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the document creating apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the first embodiment.
In FIG. 1 and the subsequent drawings, the same components as those shown in the previous FIG.

In FIG. 1, kana, kanji, alphanumeric characters, etc. are input from the input operation unit 1, and the proofreading / editing of the input character string is processed by the document editing unit 2 and simultaneously displayed on the display unit 3 on the screen. The tab setting unit 6 sets the position of the tab used when editing. The created document is stored and saved in the document storage unit 4, and the necessary document is printed out using the printing unit 5. In addition, the target digit is stored in advance in the tab setting unit 6 as tab position information. Further, the ruled line recognition unit 7 recognizes the position of the ruled line.

Then, based on the position information of the ruled line of the line where the cursor is located, detected by the ruled line recognition unit 7, the tab setting unit 6
Then, with the tab key operation used for future input / edit, the cursor sets the movement information in a batch.

Next, the operation of the configuration of the first embodiment will be described. Here, description will be given using the document of the table created by the ruled line of FIG. 6 shown previously. When creating a table document created with the ruled lines in Fig. 6, if tab position information is set in the 3.0th column and the 7.0th line, the cursor can be moved to the beginning of each item by one-touch with the tab key operation. , It is possible to efficiently move the cursor for inputting / editing characters. In the example described above, the complicated operation of individually setting the 3.0th digit and the 7.0th digit as the tab positions was performed, but here, the ruled line recognition unit 7 detects the ruled line position information. Then, a plurality of tab positions are collectively set by a simple operation by designating the tab positions at positions of ± n digits to the left and right of the ruled line position.

In this case, in the table of FIG.
The cursor is placed at an arbitrary position on the line, and the ruled line recognizing unit 7 detects that ruled lines are present on the left of the 2.5th digit and the 6.5th digit as ruled line position information. Since the characters in the table are described apart from the ruled line by half-width characters, the tab position is specified to the right of the ruled line position plus the 0.5th digit, so that the 3.0th digit and the 7.0th digit are specified. Tab positions can be set collectively at the digit.

As described above, when inputting / editing the document in the table surrounded by the ruled lines in FIG. 6, it will be convenient if the tab positions can be easily set at positions apart from the ruled lines by a constant interval.

Therefore, in the first embodiment, since the ruled line position is detected by the ruled line recognition unit 7 and the tab positions are collectively set at a position apart from the ruled line position by a predetermined distance, it is easy to read a document. , Can be created efficiently.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the second embodiment.
In FIG. 2, kana, kanji, alphanumeric characters, etc. are input from the input operation unit 1, and the proofreading / editing of this input character string is processed by the document editing unit 2 and displayed on the display unit 3 at the same time. The position of the tab used when editing this document is set by the tab setting unit 6.
The created document is stored and saved in the document storage unit 4, and the necessary document is printed out using the printing unit 5.
In addition, the target digit is stored in advance in the tab setting unit 6 as tab position information. Further, the sentence analysis unit 8 detects the ruled line position and the character position after the ruled line. Detected by the character analysis unit 8,
Based on the position information of the ruled line and the character position information of the line on which the cursor is located, the tab position information to which the cursor is moved is collectively set by the tab setting unit 6 by the tab key operation used for future input / editing.

Next, the operation of the configuration of the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 shows a tabular document created with ruled lines. When creating a table document created with the ruled lines shown in Fig. 3, if tab position information is set in the 3rd and 8th digits, you can move the cursor to the beginning of each item with the tab key operation with one touch The cursor for input / edit can be moved efficiently. As described above, a complicated operation for individually setting the 3.0th digit and the 10.0th digit as the tab positions was performed, but here, in the sentence analysis unit 8, the ruled line position information and The character position information of is detected and the tab positions are set with one touch, and a plurality of tab positions are collectively set by a simple operation.

In the case of the table of FIG. 3, when the cursor is placed on the third line and the tab setting operation is performed, the ruled line position of the cursor line is determined, the character position after that is detected, and the 3.0th digit is detected. And the 10.0th digit can be collectively set as the tab position. If no character exists after the ruled line of the line where the cursor is located, the position of the existing character is detected by searching above and below the corresponding ruled line in the same table, and the tab position is newly set.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the document analysis unit 8 detects the character position after the ruled line and sets the tab positions collectively in a simple manner. Can be created.

FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the third embodiment.
In FIG. 4, as in FIG. 3, the document editing unit 2 processes the proofreading / editing of the input character string input from the input operation unit 1 for inputting kana / kanji / alphanumeric characters and the like, and displays it on the display unit 3. To do. The position of the tab used when editing this document is set by the tab setting unit 6. The created document is stored in the document storage unit 4,
The document is stored and saved, and a necessary document is printed out using the printing unit 5. In addition, the target digit is stored in advance in the tab setting unit 6 as tab position information. Further, the sentence analysis unit 8 detects the ruled line position and the character position behind the ruled line. Based on the position information and the character position information of the ruled line of the line on which the cursor is located, which is detected by the character analysis unit 8, the tab position information that the cursor moves by the tab key operation used for future input / editing is set to the tab setting unit 6 Set in batch with.

Here, the difference from the second embodiment of FIG. 2 is that even if the tab position is not set, the ruled line position information and the character position information of the line on which the cursor detected by the character analysis unit 8 is located. Based on the above, the same operation as the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is performed by the tab key operation. If there is no table on the line where the cursor is located, the process is performed according to the position information set in the tab settings.

As described above, according to the third embodiment, the document analysis unit 8 detects the character position after the ruled line and operates the tab key to efficiently create an easy-to-read document.

[0029]

As is apparent from the above description, since the document creating apparatus of the present invention detects the position of the ruled line of the cursor line and the character position after that, the tab position information of the lines to be input subsequently is detected. Can be set all at once, and a natural and easy-to-read document can be efficiently created.

Further, since the ruled line and the character position after that are detected when the tab key is operated, when the cursor is positioned in the table, the cursor is moved once regardless of the tab position information set in advance. Further, it has an effect that it is possible to move to a desired position and efficiently create a document.
