Enter data such as size 3. The input data is stored in the character box data storage area 17.

In step S3, the decorative frame data storage area 16 is searched to determine whether the decorative frame data already exists. If there is no decorative frame data, step S
9 and the origin coordinates are (X ₀ ′, Y ₀ ′) = (X
_The character frame 23 is displayed on the screen of the display device 13 in the state of ₀ , Y ₀ ). Since there is no decorative frame 22, there is no problem even if the character frame 23 is displayed from the origin coordinates (X ₀ , Y ₀ ).

If it is determined in step S3 that there is decorative frame data, the process proceeds to step S4, the lateral displacement A is read from the decorative frame data storage area 16, and the calculation, X ₀ ′ ← X ₀ + A, is executed. Then, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the character frame 23 having the X-direction origin coordinate value of X ₀ ′ is included in the figure frame 21, and if not, step S9.
When skipping, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, the vertical displacement amount B is read from the decorative frame data storage area 16, and the calculation Y ₀ ′ ← Y ₀ + B is executed. Then, in step S7, it is determined whether or not the character frame 23 whose Y-direction origin coordinate value is Y ₀ ′ is included in the graphic frame 21, and if not, step S9.
When the character frame 23 enters the figure frame 21, the process proceeds to step S8. Character box 2 in step S8
As the origin coordinates (X ₀ ′, Y ₀ ′) of 3, the following replacement process is determined.

(X ₀ ′, Y ₀ ′) ← (X ₀ + A, Y ₀ + B) The data of the origin coordinates (X ₀ ′, Y ₀ ′) is stored in the character frame data storage area 17.

Then, in step S9, the display device 13 is based on the corrected origin coordinates (X ₀ ′, Y ₀ ′).
The character frame 23 is displayed on. The character frame 23 is a decorative frame 22
And will not overlap. Although the widths A and B of the decorative frame 22 can be variously changed, it is possible to appropriately cope with the change.

In the above description, it is assumed that the character frame 23 is used in horizontal writing, but it may be written vertically. At that time, as shown in FIG. 6, the decorative frame 2
The origin coordinates (X ₀ , Y ₀ ) of 2 may be set in the upper right corner, and the positive direction of the X coordinate may be leftward.

Regarding the horizontal displacement amount A and the vertical displacement amount B of the decorative frame 22, the maximum value C of various decorative frames is obtained.
_{When MAX} is defined as the horizontal displacement amount A and the vertical displacement amount B (A = C _MAX , B = C _MAX ), the origin coordinate value X ₀ ′ of the character frame 23 in the X direction is X ₀ ′ = X ₀ + C. _MAX , and the origin coordinate value Y ₀ ′ in the Y direction of the character frame 23 becomes Y ₀ ′ = Y ₀ + C _MAX . In this case, the capacity of the decoration frame data storage area 16 is reduced and the program executed by the edit processing device 12 is simplified.
