That is, the designated order storage unit 2 shown in FIG.
When 0, the order designation of either the first order of designating the editing function after designating the editing range or the second order of designating the editing range after designating the editing function is performed. (Step 301), the designated order designated in the designated order storage unit 20 is stored in the designated order storage unit 20 shown in FIG. 1 (Step 302), and this processing ends.

By the processing shown in FIG. 2, the subsequent editing work is executed according to the designated order stored in the designated order storage unit 20.

FIG. 3 shows a concrete example of the editing process by this editing apparatus. The processing corresponding to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 is executed by the control unit 30 shown in FIG. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, first, the designated order stored in the designated order storage unit 20 shown in FIG. 1 is the first order in which the editing function is designated after the editing range is designated, or the editing function is designated. After the designation is made, it is checked whether it is the second order for designating the editing range (step 31).
1). If the designated order stored in the designated order storage unit 20 is the first order in which the editing function is designated after the editing range is designated, the process branches to the range designation processing in step 312.

The range designation processing in step 312 is performed by accepting designation of a predetermined edit range by the edit range designation section 50 shown in FIG. Specifically, when the editing range this time is new, a character string range or a figure range to be edited is included in the editing range designating unit 50, for example, is designated by a mouse. Further, when the editing range this time is the same as the previously specified editing range, the information indicating that is input by, for example, a keyboard included in the editing range designating unit 50, for example, a keyboard.

Next, it is checked whether the range designation processed by the range designation process in step 312 is new or the same as the previously designated edit range (step 313). here,
If the range designation processed in the range designation process of step 312 is new, the edit range designated by the edit range designation section 50 is stored in the edit range storage section 60 shown in FIG. 1 (step 314). .

If the range specification processed in the range specification process of step 312 is the same as the previously specified editing range, the previously specified editing range is set to the editing range storage unit 60.
(Step 315).

After that, a function designation process is executed. This function designation processing is performed by accepting designation of a predetermined editing function by the editing function designation unit 40 shown in FIG. Specifically, a predetermined editing function is set by the keyboard or mouse included in the editing function designating section 40.

When the function specifying process in step 316 is completed, the process proceeds to step 322, and a predetermined editing process is executed. The editing process in step 322 is
It is executed by the editing unit 70 shown in FIG. Specifically, the editing process is executed for the editing range specified by the range specifying process of step 312, using the editing function specified by the function specifying process of step 316.

When this editing process is completed (step 323), the process of this flow is completed.

That is, the designated order storage unit 2 shown in FIG.
When the designation order stored in 0 is the first order in which the editing function is designated after the editing range is designated, first, the designation of the predetermined editing range by the editing range designation unit 50 is accepted, and then the editing function is performed. The designation of a predetermined editing function by the designation unit 40 is accepted. If the specified edit range specified by the edit range specification unit 50 is the same as the edit range specified in the previous editing process, no new edit range is specified,
This is performed by reading the editing range stored in the editing range storage unit 60. This facilitates the operation of designating the editing range and improves the operability of the editing device.

On the other hand, the designation order stored in the designation order storage section 20 shown in FIG. 1 is the second order for designating the editing range after designating the editing function, and step 31
If it is determined in step 1 that it is the second order of designating the edit range after designating the edit function, the process branches to the function designation process of step 317.

The function designation process in step 317 is as follows.
This is similar to the function designation process of step 316 described above, and is performed by accepting a predetermined editing function by the editing function designation unit 40 shown in FIG. Specifically, a predetermined editing function is set by the keyboard or mouse included in the editing function designating section 40.

When the function setting process is completed, the range designation process of step 318 is then executed. This step 318
The range specifying process in (1) is similar to the edit range specifying process in step 312 described above, and is performed by specifying a predetermined edit range by the edit range specifying unit 50 shown in FIG. Specifically, when the editing range this time is new, a character string range or a figure range to be edited is included in the editing range designating unit 50, for example, is designated by a mouse. Further, when the editing range this time is the same as the previously specified editing range, the information indicating that is input by, for example, a keyboard included in the editing range designating unit 50, for example, a keyboard.

Next, it is checked whether the range designation processed by the range designation process in step 318 is new or the same as the previously designated edit range (step 319). here,
If the range designation processed in the range designation process of step 318 is new, the edit range designated by the edit range designation section 50 is stored in the edit range storage section 60 shown in FIG. 1 (step 320). .

If the range specification processed in the range specification process of step 318 is the same as the previously specified editing range, the previously specified editing range is set to the editing range storage unit 60.
Is read from the memory (step 321).

When the designation of the editing function and the editing range is completed in this way, the process proceeds to step 322 and a predetermined editing process is executed (step 322). Also in this case, the editing process in step 322 is executed by the editing unit 70 shown in FIG. Specifically, step 31
Using the editing function specified by the function specifying process of 7, the editing process is executed for the editing range specified by the range specifying process of step 318.

When this editing process is completed (step 323), the process of this flow is completed.

That is, the designated order storage unit 2 shown in FIG.
When the designation order stored in 0 is the second order in which the editing range is designated after the editing function is designated, the designation of the predetermined editing function by the editing function designation unit 40 is first accepted, and then the editing range is designated. The designation of the predetermined editing range by the designation unit 50 is accepted. Also in this case, if the specified edit range specified by the edit range specifying unit 50 is the same as the edit range specified in the previous editing process, the edit range is not newly specified and stored in the edit range storage unit 60. It is performed by reading the above-mentioned editing range. This facilitates the operation of designating the editing range and improves the operability of the editing device.

[0041]

As described above, according to the present invention,
An operator performs an editing operation in a first order in which an editing function is specified after an editing range is specified by an operator.
Since the editing operation mode and the second editing operation mode in which the editing work is executed according to the second order in which the editing range is specified after the editing function is specified can be set by switching, Even an operator who is accustomed to the mode can effectively perform the editing work.

Further, the editing range in the previous editing process is stored, and when the editing range this time is the same as the previous editing range, the previously stored editing range is read out and the editing range is designated. Therefore, there is an effect that the operability is improved when the editing process is repeatedly performed on the same editing range.
