An image memory (IMEM) 14 for storing image data is a printer used for image output.

When processing and printing a document in the above apparatus, the document file to be processed or a part of the document file is read into the PMEM 2 together with the document processing program. The read document file can be roughly classified into a document header 61, document data 62, and format information 63, as shown in FIG. The document header contains position data for accessing the document data and format information, the document data stores the document itself, and the format information stores data for setting the format at the time of display / print output. These data are not always stored in memory, and F
It may be read from D or HD.

Next, the overall flow of processing of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the processing operation of the CPU 1, and FIG. 3 is a document selection menu screen.

First, in FIG. 2, the process is started from the state where only the system menu 22 of FIG. 3 is displayed. In step S1, the file to be processed is specified. The document to be processed may be either a newly created document or a created document, but here an example is shown in which a file already created on the floppy disk (FD) is targeted.

The operator selects the F containing the document file.
D is set in the FD drive 10, and file reading on the FD is selected from the system menu. As a result, the file stored in the FD that is the read target is read (FIG. 3). In this example, the file in the FD is only the document 21. By designating this document 21 using the pointing device 5, the designation of the document in S1 of FIG. 2 is completed, and the designated document is the floppy disk 1
It is read from 0 to PMEM2 (FIG. 6).

In step S2, the format of the document read in S1 is changed. When the format change is selected from the menu (not shown) after reading the document, the format change screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 4 and each parameter can be changed. Each item is a value read from the format information 63. Here, based on the document data 62 in FIG. 6, it is possible to determine the presence of a headline on each page, for example, the currently displayed page. Here, an item is selected from the menu 41 of FIG. 4 and set.

To set the format value of the large headline, click the large headline command of the format value selection command menu 42 (the lower part of FIG. 7) displayed when the detailed setting field of the menu 41 of FIG. 4 is clicked, and the large headline setting window is displayed. 43 is displayed and the format value can be changed (FIG. 7). At this time, the set value can be changed with the mouse only when the large headline exists on the display page and the large headline setting window 43 is displayed. In step S4 of FIG. 2, the processing is performed when the large headline exists in the display page and the large headline setting window 43 in FIG. 7 is displayed. S4 in FIG.
As an example of the above, the flow of information setting of this large headline will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the large headline setting window 43 is shown in FIG.
Is displayed and the setting value changing process is started, and if there is no major heading on the display page (S9 in FIG. 5), the setting value can be changed by directly inputting a numerical value (S18). If a large headline exists on the display page, the display size and display position of the displayed large headline are obtained (S10). This refers to the headline data in the document data 62 shown in FIG. At this time, the display size of the large headline may be a plurality of lines depending on the number of characters (P.
Be sure to find the size of a single line so that it can be easily set in D). Specifically, it is shown in FIG. At the display position of the obtained large headline, a rectangle having a size corresponding to the line width is formed based on a single line of the large headline.
Is displayed as shown in (S11). Note that when changing the large headline in FIG. 9, it is possible to change downward, so in FIG. 9, a black circle is displayed on the lower side of the frame surrounding the large headline. (P.D) It is judged whether the input is judged and the black circle on the displayed rectangle is clicked (S13). If it is other than the black circle, the numerical input parameter window (1 in FIG. 9) is displayed.
00) is checked (S17), and if not, S12
The process from is repeated. If it is a parameter input, change the set value by inputting a numerical value. If the black circle on the rectangle is clicked, P. The size of the large heading rectangle display is changed when the key on D is kept pressed. P. If the key on D has been released, the number of lines of the large headline is calculated from the rectangular display size (S16). Note that this may be read from the table. Based on that value, the value of the heading for the headline is set (S19), and this subroutine (S4 in FIG. 2) ends.

In FIG. 2, if all the format changes are completed in S6 following S4, the document is displayed according to the format (S7), and if there is no other document to be created, the process is finished (S7).
8).

With the above-described procedure, the heading information of the large headline can be obtained by a method other than inputting a numerical value only when the large headline exists on the display page. Instead, you can easily set as you want while looking at the setting area of the large headline and the state of the character size on the actual sentence.

Next, the step of obtaining the size and position of the large headline in FIG. 8 described above, that is, S10 in FIG. 5, will be described below. In S20, the currently displayed large headline data in the document data 62 of FIG. 6 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the large headline is a plurality of lines. If YES, the process proceeds to S21, and the line spacing × line pitch + line spacing = Derive the size (height).

When it is determined in S20 that the large headline is not a plurality of lines, in S22, the size and position of the large headline can be derived from the size (width) = the plate width based on the number of steps. Note that the size and position information shown in this embodiment is managed on the basis of data relating to the dot output position, because it is premised that the size and position information are finally visualized and output by a dot pattern. That is, the position and distance information is managed in 1/128 dot units.

(Other Embodiment 2) In Embodiment 1, when the large headline exists on the display page, the line-out information of the large headline is obtained and set by other than inputting numerical values, but this method is used. When the middle headline window is displayed and settable, the line break information of the middle headline can be obtained by other than inputting a numerical value only when the middle headline exists in the display page (FIG. 10).
Similarly, when the subheading window is displayed and the subheading can be set, the sub-heading information of the subheading can be obtained by other than inputting a numerical value only when the subheading exists in the display page (FIG. 11).

(Embodiment 3) In Embodiments 1 and 2, a large headline,
About the setting change process of medium heading and sub heading When each heading can be set, it is possible to set the heading information by inputting a numerical value other than numerical input only when each heading exists in the display page. 2. When setting the same heading 3 and the same heading 4, the window for each heading is displayed. When setting is possible, the line is taken only when each heading exists on the display page, and the value of the heading line length is not entered by a numerical value. Can be found (13, 14, 15, 1
6).

FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. 15, FIG.
6 is a control flowchart similar to FIG. In S9 of FIG. 12, it is determined whether there is a companion heading in the display page. If NO, proceed to S18, proceed to the step of inputting numerical values, and proceed to S2.
The values input in 1 are set, and the process ends.

If YES in S9, that is, if it is determined that there is a companion heading in the display page, the process proceeds to S10 and the size and position of the companion heading are obtained. Details of this step are the same as in FIG. S in FIG.
When the size and position of the accompanying heading is obtained in 10, the process advances to S11, and a rectangle of the accompanying heading size is displayed at the accompanying heading display position as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 14, FIG. 15, or FIG. The display of black circles will be described with reference to FIG.

Next, in S12 of FIG. D5
The position of the input is determined, and it is determined in S13 whether the black circle mark displayed in FIG. 13 or FIG. 14 or FIG. 15 or FIG. 16 is clicked. If NO, the process proceeds to S17 and P. The input position by D5 is shown in Fig. 1.
It is determined whether the parameter window 100 displayed in 3 or the like is designated. If NO, the process proceeds to S12, and if YES, the process proceeds to S17, where numerical values are input in S18, the respective values input in S21 are set, and the process ends. If it is determined in S13 that the black circle is clicked,
In S14 and S15, the change of the accompanying heading rectangle display size is performed by P.S. It is determined whether or not the key on D is kept pressed and while the key is being pressed, the accompanying heading rectangle display size is changed in real time in S14. Then, in S15, the P. D
When the upper key is no longer pressed, the process proceeds to S16. In S16, the P. Pointed position by D is 100 with a black circle
0 or 1001 is determined, and P. When the black circle 1000 shown in FIG. 13 is designated by D, it is a lateral size change instruction, and S16 of FIG. 12 is NO. In addition, P.
When the black circle 1001 shown in FIG. 13 is instructed by D, it is an instruction to change the size in the vertical direction, and S1 in FIG.
6 is YES.

If YES is obtained in S16, the process proceeds to S17, and the number of line-acquisitions of the same heading is derived from the rectangle size because there is a change of the line-acquisition, and in S18, the value of the same line heading is updated.

If there is no change in the line cutting in S16, that is, N
If the process proceeds to S19 with O, the headline line length of the same line headline is derived from the rectangular size. Then, in S20, the value of the heading line length of the accompanying heading is updated.

(Embodiment 4) In the first, second, and third embodiments, with respect to the setting change processing of the large headline, the medium headline, the small headline, the accompanying headline 1, the accompanying headline 2, the accompanying headline 3, and the accompanying headline 4, when each heading can be set, The line break information is set only when each heading exists on the display page, and in the case of the same heading, the heading line length is calculated by a value other than numerical input and can be set, but similarly, when setting the break rule, the break rule window is displayed. Was
When setting is possible, the value of the line break can be calculated by other than entering a numerical value only when there is a ruled line in the display page (Fig. 1
8, FIG. 19). This control flowchart is shown in FIG. Although it is similar to FIG. 12, in the dividing rule setting, since the dividing rule 1 and the dividing rule 2 and two format values can be set at the same time when the dividing rule window is displayed, which part of the window has the cursor indicator? Depending on (where the cursor points to according to P.D.), which of the partition rule 1 and the partition rule 2 in FIG. 18 can be set by a value other than numerical input is determined (S23, S25), and the indicator Only when there is one of the dividing rules on the display page (S24, S26), the position and size information of the dividing rule is obtained and the figure of the dividing rule size is displayed (S28) (FIGS. 18 and 19). The black circle display will be described with reference to FIG. Furthermore, P. It is determined whether or not D input has been performed and the black circle on the displayed rectangle is clicked (S30). If it is not a black circle, it is checked whether it is a numerical value input parameter window (S35). If different, the processing from S29 is repeated. .. If it is a parameter input, the setting value is changed by inputting a numerical value (S36), and it is determined which of the dividing rule 1 and the dividing rule 2 is set depending on the moving position of the indicator. If there is a movement of 2 or vice versa, it is judged whether or not there is the target data in the displayed page, and if there is, the position and size are obtained and a rectangle is newly displayed on the paper. If the black circle on the rectangle is clicked, P. The size of the dividing rectangle display is changed when D is kept pressed. P. If D is released, the number of line breaks of the dividing rule is calculated from the rectangular display size (S3).
3). Based on this value, the value of the line drawing of the dividing rule is set (S34). In this way, the value of the dividing rule can also be obtained by other than inputting a numerical value.

As described above, when setting the positions of the large headline, the medium headline, the small headline, the accompanying headline 1, the accompanying headline 3, the accompanying headline 3, the accompanying headline 4, the dividing ruled line 1, the dividing ruled line 2, etc., by a simple operation. You can set the format while checking the display position.

The present invention may be applied to a system composed of a plurality of devices or an apparatus composed of a single device. Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to the case where it is achieved by supplying a system or a program.

As described above, in the document processing apparatus of the present invention, only when there is the corresponding format data at the time of displaying the format value setting window in the display page, the line drawing of each format value and the heading line length information other than the numerical value input are performed. Since it can be obtained with, you can easily get the correct data about the format while checking the setting of each format value on the actual text, rather than setting it vaguely on a paper with no text, and obtain it with the format of the new document. Can be set as

Next, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 14, FIG. 15, FIG. 16, FIG. 18, FIG. 19, etc., when a format value is changed, by displaying a black circle at an appropriate position so that the format value that can be changed can be understood, For each format value, P. What can be changed with D can be seen at a glance, and an example of a technique that can be easily changed will be described. FIG. 20 shows a flowchart for explaining the processing operation of the CPU 1. FIG. 3 shows the document selection menu screen as described above.

First, the process is started from the state where only the system menu 22 in FIG. 3 is displayed. In step S1, the file to be processed is specified. The document to be processed may be either a newly created document or a created document, but here it is already a floppy disk (FD).
Target files already created in.

The operator selects the F file containing the document file.
D is set in the FD drive 10, and file reading on the FD is selected from the system menu. As a result, the file stored in the FD that is the read target is read (FIG. 3). In this example, the file in the FD is only the document 21. The designation of the document is completed by designating the document 21 using the pointing device (PD) 5, and the designated document is the floppy disk 10.
Read into PMEM2 (FIG. 6).

In step S2 of FIG. 20, the format of the document read in S1 is changed. When the format change is selected from the menu after reading the document, the format change screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 4, and each parameter can be changed. Each item is a value read from the format information 63. Here, items are selected from the menu 41 and set.

For the format value setting of the large heading, the large heading setting window 43 is displayed by clicking the large heading command of the format value selection command menu 42 displayed when the detailed setting field of the menu 41 is clicked, and the format value can be changed. (Fig. 7). At this time, only when the large headline is present in the display page and the large headline setting window 43 is displayed, Setting value can be changed with D. In step S6, processing is performed when a large headline exists in the display page and the large headline setting window 43 is displayed.

The flow of setting the information of the main headline will be described with reference to FIG. Basically, it is similar to FIG. 5, but the black circle display S16 is clearly stepped.

First, as shown in FIG. 7, the large headline setting window 43 is displayed and the setting value changing process is started. If the large headline does not exist in the displayed page (S13), the setting value is changed by directly inputting a numerical value. Is performed (S23). If a large headline exists on the display page, the display size and display position of the displayed large headline are obtained (S14). At the obtained display position of the large headline, a rectangle having a size corresponding to the line width is displayed based on the single line of the large headline (S15) (FIG. 9), and a black circle is displayed at the position where the size can be changed (S12).

This black circle display processing will be described with reference to FIG. First, referring to the format information section 63 of FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not the set direction of the document is horizontal type. If the set direction is horizontal type, and if the command is a heading command (S41), it can be changed only in the downward direction of the rectangle. A black circle is displayed at the position 4 in FIG. 22 (S4
2). If it is not a heading command, it is checked whether it is a heading of the same line (S43). If it is a heading of the same line, it can be changed to the downward right direction, so black circles are displayed at positions 4 and 6 (S44). Further, if it is not a heading along with the heading but a ruled line (S45), only a downward direction can be changed like the heading, so a black circle is displayed at position 4.

If it is determined in S40 that the writing mode is vertical writing (S4
0), as in horizontal writing mode (S4
7) A black circle is displayed at the position 2 (S48), and when the heading is the same (S49), a black circle is displayed at the positions 2 and 4 (S48).
50), if it is a dividing rule (S51), a black circle is displayed at the position 2 (S52). If none of the commands, exit without displaying a black circle. When the process of displaying the black circle is completed, the process proceeds to S17 of FIG.
The position is judged based on D, and it is checked whether the black circle on the displayed rectangle is clicked (S18). If it is other than the black circle, it is checked whether it is a numerical value input parameter window (S22). If it is different, the processing from S17 is performed. Repeat.
If it is a parameter input, change the set value by inputting a numerical value. If the black circle on the rectangle is clicked, P. When the key on D is kept pressed, the size of the large heading rectangle display is changed (S19, S20). P. If the key on D has been released, the number of lines of the large headline is calculated from the rectangular display size (S21). Based on this value, the value of the headline gating is set (S24), and the present subroutine ends.

When all the format changes are completed (see FIG. 20)
S10), the document is displayed according to the format (S11), and if there is no other document to be created, the process ends (S12).

In accordance with the procedure described above, the black circle indicating the changeable position is indicated on the rectangle representing the large headline only when the large headline exists on the display page. Change work can be done easily with D.

(Other Embodiments) In the previous embodiment 1, by setting the black circle indicating the changeable position on the rectangle representing the large headline only when the large headline exists on the display page, the P.P.
Although the change work is easily performed with D, when the middle headline window is displayed and settable using this method, the changeable position is shown on the rectangle representing the middle headline only when the middle headline exists in the display page. By indicating a black circle, P. Change work can be done easily with D. Similarly, when the subheading window is displayed and the subheading can be set, by displaying a black circle indicating a changeable position on the rectangle representing the subheading only when the subheading exists in the display page, the P. Change work can be done easily with D.
