Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a means by which an operator edits a document while seeing the form for output without reducing the editing speed. CONSTITUTION:A document editing means 1 which edits the document receives the position of a cursor from a cursor position control means 2 which controls the cursor position and gives various attributes to the character in the cursor position. An area attribute acquiring means 3 receives the cursor position from the cursor position control means 2 and receives attributes of characters around the cursor position from the document editing means 1 and sends them to an area attribute display means 4. This means 4 outputs received characters of the area to a display device 6.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing device such as a word processor and a computer terminal, and a document processing method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in word processors and computer terminals, in displaying an edit screen, various character attributes such as character size change, halftone dot, and furigana have not been displayed in the actual printed form, but have been simulated. The mark was added to speed up the display. An example of display on the above-mentioned conventional word processor and computer terminal will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a conventional word processor and computer terminal. In FIG. 6, 61
Is a document editing means, 62 is a cursor position control means, 63 is a text display means, and 64 is a display. FIG. 7 shows a display screen form when the conventional document processing apparatus is used. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 71 denotes a display form of the display of the conventional document processing apparatus.

The operation of the document processing apparatus having the above components will be described below.

Here, an example will be described in which a kanji is provided with a phonetic reading. (1) A document is edited while looking at the display screen 71.

(2) The document editing means 61 reads the position of the cursor from the cursor position control means 62 and adds the attribute to the character in the designated area.

(3) The text display means 63 receives the information about the character from the document editing means 61, replaces the attribute with a pseudo symbol and displays it on the display 64.

(4) The display 64 is visually displayed by giving a pseudo mark to the phonetic portion like the display 71.

[0009]

However, in the conventional structure as described above, the character attributes cannot be seen by the editor in the actual printed form, so that the correct layout cannot be confirmed without printing. Had a point.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a window for displaying various attributes during editing or screen scrolling, so that the editor can view the attributes desired without slowing down the speed of editing or screen scrolling as much as possible. The purpose is to provide an environment where you can edit while watching.

[0011]

In order to achieve the above object, the document processing apparatus of the present invention is obtained from the area attribute acquisition means for acquiring the attribute of the area around the cursor position and the area attribute acquisition means. Area attribute display means for displaying the area in a portion different from the document body is provided.

[0012]

According to the present invention, with the above-described configuration, it is possible to edit the document while viewing the character attributes around the cursor line in the form when it is actually printed, and at the same time limit the area around the cursor position to increase the speed. You can scroll the screen without lowering it.
