2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a Japanese word processor as an information processing apparatus generally inputs document information such as characters and ruled lines by a user of the apparatus operating a keyboard to control the document information. A document is created by being controlled by the means and displayed on the display.

In the document creation process based on the above document information, as shown in FIG. 6, first, new creation / update of a document is selected in the initial menu (S11), and then the environment setting (S12) is performed. ) File is opened,
The movement / fixation of ruled lines (S13) is set. After returning to the initial menu (S11) again, the environment setting (S12) is completed and the document creation (S1
4) and the end processing (S15) are performed to complete the creation of the document.

[0004]

However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the moving / fixing of the ruled line can be set only in the environment setting file (S12) before the document file is created (S14). On one document file, only one of moving the ruled line and fixing the ruled line can be performed. Therefore, when rewriting the ruled lines when inputting or editing a table using ruled lines, if the settings of the ruled lines are not changed, it takes time to rewrite the ruled lines and the layout is disturbed, while When changing the setting, there is a problem that the system has to be restarted.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the ruled line setting mechanism of the information processing apparatus according to the present invention uses characters,
The following means are taken in an information processing apparatus in which document information such as ruled lines is input by the input means and the document information is displayed on the display means by being controlled by the control means.

That is, the control means can set movement / fixation of the ruled line each time the document information is input from the input means.

[0007]

According to the above arrangement, the control means for controlling the document information causes the document information to be input from the input means.
The ruled line can be moved / fixed each time. Therefore, moving / fixing of the ruled line can be handled as a function of editing in the process of creating the document, and by extension, the table or the like created using the ruled line can be input or edited by a simple operation.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following will describe one embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the information processing device is exemplified as a Japanese word processor.

The Japanese word processor according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, includes a control means 1 for controlling document information such as characters and ruled lines. The control means 1 is a CPU (Centra) that is a main control unit that causes the operation of the entire apparatus to function.
l Processing Unit) 2 and a recording unit 3 that stores the control program of the apparatus and assists the program execution of the apparatus.
The recording unit 3 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 4 storing various programs and data, and a RAM (Random Memory) including a scroll start position storage area, a document information storage area, a display mode storage area, and the like. Access Mem
ory) 5 and.

Further, the CPU 2 includes a keyboard 6 as an input means for inputting document information by a key operation of a user of the apparatus, a display 7 as a display means for displaying document information, and a recording medium (not shown). Disk device 8 for recording / reproducing document information in units of a certain disk
And a printer 9 for printing document information are connected to each other via a controller (not shown), and each operation of each of these constituent members is controlled by the CPU 2.

Further, in the Japanese word processor of this embodiment, the ruled line moving / fixed setting routine as a ruled line setting mechanism is stored in the ROM 4 constituting the control means 1.

This ruled line moving / fixing setting routine is designed to set moving / fixing of the ruled lines as necessary in accordance with the input of document information such as characters and ruled lines.

A document creating process in the Japanese word processor of the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in the initial menu (S1), new document creation / updating is selected, and then the user of the apparatus operates the keyboard 6 to input document information such as characters and ruled lines. (S2). Next, in the process of inputting such document information, when the ruled line is moved or fixedly changed (S3), the keyboard 6 according to the "edit" mode on the display screen shown in FIG. 3 is not shown. Press the edit key, and then press the move key (not shown) of the keyboard 6 according to the "move" mode on the display screen shown in FIG. 4 or the fixed key (not shown) of the keyboard 6 according to the "fixed" mode. Then, the moving or fixing of the ruled line is set (S4). If the ruled lines are moved or fixed in this way,
As shown in FIG. 5, "moving ruled line" or "fixed ruled line" is displayed on the lower end portion (shown by hatching in the figure) of the display screen of the display 7.

When the ruled line is moved / fixed as described above, the document information is input again (S).
2) After that, if there is no ruled line setting change (S3),
End processing is performed (S5), and a series of document creation processes is completed.

As described above, the Japanese word processor according to the present embodiment has the ROM 4 constituting the control means 1,
A ruled line moving / fixed setting routine is stored as a ruled line setting mechanism. This ruled line moving / fixed setting routine moves / moves the ruled line along with the input of document information from the keyboard 6.
Fixed can be set each time, and as a result, switching of ruled line movement / fixation can be handled as one function of editing.

For this reason, for example, in a document created by displaying character information of 3 lines and 20 digits by ruled lines, when creating a document in which one line is added from the character information of 3 lines and 20 digits, the ruled lines are moved. By pressing the key and setting the movement of the ruled line, the ruled line can be moved as the character information increases, and a document in which character information of 4 rows and 20 digits is displayed by the ruled line can be easily created. be able to.

On the other hand, when a document is created within a fixed ruled line frame created by ruled lines, the fixed key of the ruled line is pressed to perform the fixed setting of the ruled line without moving the ruled line frame. , Can create documents.

[0019]

As described above, in the ruled line setting mechanism of the information processing apparatus of the present invention, the control means can set the moving / fixing of the ruled line each time the document information is input from the input means. It is a configuration that can be done.

Thus, the switching of ruled line movement / fixation can be treated as one function of editing in the process of document creation. Therefore, when inputting or editing a table or the like created by ruled lines, it can be easily performed without disturbing the layout or restarting the system unlike the conventional example. It is possible to provide a convenient information processing device in which the ruled lines can be easily moved / fixed.
