Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating device,
Especially, it relates to a method of replacing pages of an input document.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a document moving function or the like has been used to replace a page of a document created by a document creating apparatus or a page called from a floppy disk apparatus.
For example, when pages 2 and 4 in a document are exchanged using the move function, first, the data of page 2 is moved after page 3, and then the data of page 4 is moved after page 1. Therefore, the document moving function must be used twice, which is troublesome. In addition, this document moving function cannot move figures, external characters, etc. included in a page, so that when pages are swapped, the image of the document may be destroyed or the document portion of another page may be affected. there were.

[0003]

In order to replace pages in a document with a conventional document creating apparatus, a document moving function or the like can be used. However, in order to change pages using this document move function, the move function must be used many times, which has the drawback of complicating operations, and because figures and the like cannot be moved, the document cannot be changed after page change. There was a drawback that the image of was destroyed.

Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a document creation apparatus and a page replacement method that can replace pages by a simple operation without destroying the image of the pages after replacement. Has an aim.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a document creating apparatus for creating a document on a page-by-page basis, a storage means for storing all data in a page over a plurality of pages and pages a and b to be replaced are designated. All the data of page a designated by the designating means and the saving means for reading out all the data of the page a designated by the designating means from the storage means and temporarily storing the same are stored. After moving to the area of page a in the means, page moving means for transferring all the data stored in the saving means to the area of page b is provided.

[0006]

In the document creating apparatus of the present invention, the storage means stores all the data in a page over a plurality of pages. The designation means designates pages a and b to be replaced. The evacuation means reads out all the data of the page a designated by the designation means from the storage means and temporarily stores it. The page moving means moves all the data of the page b designated by the designating means in the storage means to the area of the page a in the storage means, and then restores all the data stored in the saving means. Transfer to the area of page b. As a result, if the operator uses the specifying means to specify only the pages a and b to be replaced, then the entire contents of the pages a and b are automatically replaced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a document creating apparatus of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is an input device such as a keyboard through which an operator inputs a document or various function commands, 2 is a control device for creating or editing a document, 3 is a dictionary unit used for kana-kanji conversion, and 4 is a stored document data Document buffer to be displayed, 5 is a CRT or LCD for displaying documents, figures, etc.
Etc. is a display device.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a page swapping function built in the control device 2 shown in FIG. Reference numeral 21 is a page selection section for selecting a page to be replaced, 22 is a page replacement check section for checking whether the pages to be replaced can be replaced, and 23 is a page for storing the page number of the page to be replaced. A number storage unit, 24 is a page saving unit for saving the document of one whole page to be replaced, 25 is a save page storage unit for saving the contents of the saved page, and 26 is a page moving unit for moving pages. Each of these functional blocks is constructed by software, but the page save storage unit 25 is assumed to be constructed by using a partial area of the working memory in the control device 2 shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When a document is created by the document creating apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the created document is stored in the document buffer 4 and a part of the document data is displayed on the screen of the display device 5. The document on the screen of the display device 5 is scrolled. When the user wants to replace the pages of the document on the screen of the display device 5, he / she operates the input device 1 and inputs the page numbers a and b to be replaced in the control device 2. This information is sent by the page selection unit 21 shown in FIG. 2 to step 301 in FIG.
The page number to be replaced is passed to the page replacement check unit 22. As a result, the page replacement check unit 22 accesses the document buffer 4 to check the content of the replacement page selected in step 302 of FIG. 3, and determines whether both pages are replaced.
If the replacement is not possible, an error display is displayed on the display device 5 and the processing is terminated. If the replacement is possible, this is notified to the page selection unit 21. When this information is received, page selection unit 2
1 outputs the replacement page numbers a and b to the page number storage unit 23. The page number storage unit 23 stores the replacement page number passed from the page selection unit 21.

The page save unit 24 reads all the data of the replacement page a stored in the page storage unit 23 from the document buffer 4 in step 304, and stores the read page contents in the saved page storage unit 25. . Page moving unit 26
Accesses all the data of the remaining page b stored in the page number storage unit 23 in the document buffer 4 and moves all the data to the portion where the data of the saved page a exists, and then the next step At 305, all the data of page a saved in the save page storage unit 25 is stored in the portion where the data of page b existed, and the process ends. The page replacement check unit 22 determines that the pages cannot be replaced when the replacement pages are not the same size.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of document data stored in the document buffer 4 shown in FIG. Figure 4
When, for example, the first page and the fourth page of the document (A) are to be replaced, the user inputs an instruction to replace the first page and the fourth page from the input device 1 to the control device 2. As a result, the page selection unit 21 of FIG.
Select pages 1 and 4 of (A). After that, when the page replacement check unit 22 determines that these pages can be replaced, the page saving device 24 reads all the contents of the first page of FIG.
It is temporarily stored in the page save storage unit 25. Next, the page moving unit 26 once reads all the contents of the fourth page of FIG. 4A from the document buffer, moves this to the first page portion of the document buffer, and then saves the page storage device. By transferring all the contents stored in 25 to the portion of the fourth page of the document buffer 4,
The change is made as shown in (B), and eventually the first page and the fourth page are switched. In this case, the page moving unit 2
No. 6 can replace not only the characters on the page to be replaced but also the external characters and figures.

According to this embodiment, the user can input the page number to be replaced from the input device 1, and the device can automatically replace the page contents of the specified page number after that. The page swapping operation can be remarkably simplified. In addition, when the page is replaced, not only the character data but also the software such that all the data such as figures and external characters on the page can be replaced, so it is possible to prevent the document image from being broken by the page replacement. You can replace pages completely.

[0013]

As described above, according to the document creation apparatus and page replacement method of the present invention, pages can be replaced by a simple operation without destroying the image of the page after replacement.
