Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform edition and printing by storing word data to be frequently used, graphic, logo mark in a storage device as parts for printing and parts for display while easily and speedily confirming the style of the page. CONSTITUTION:Data 2 for printing to be frequently used is stored in a file 61 as parts for printing in a storage part 6 from a parts input part 3. At the same time, a DPI conversion part 4 converts the dot density smaller for the display and stores it in a file 62 as parts for display. Each parts for display and printing has information on the name of the storage file, size and attribute in management files. At the time of proofreading the document, the parts for display are used in edition and the parts for printing are used in printing. Thus, the quick display and printing can be performed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creator,
In particular, the present invention relates to a document creation machine having a parts file for storing lexical data, figures or logo marks as printing parts or display parts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a document creator is used to create a document, manage a document, or store a document. Further, in recent years, a document creating machine equipped with a WYSIWYG function for displaying a print format document as it is on a display has been put into practical use. Furthermore, in general, official documents tend to have a uniform document format, and often use fixed phrases, fixed figures and company logos. Therefore, when creating a document with a document creator, if you need a figure, make full use of the correction and editing functions of the document creator,
Sometimes a graphic is created and pasted into a document. This correction and editing work is done page by page, and requires a lot of trouble and time.

Conventionally, a document creator has a so-called insertion function, a cut-and-paste function, etc., but all of them are limited to a line or page unit and do not have a function of handling a part of a created document as a document part.

For this reason, it is desired by the user to develop a document creation machine capable of editing text data and parts and efficiently creating and printing a document.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the prior art,
In order to efficiently create a document, there is a method of reusing an existing document as much as possible and creating a new document with a minimum of proofreading work.

However, in this method, the document must be created by making full use of the inserting function, the cut-and-paste function, the proofreading function such as copying and moving, and the work is time-consuming, and the complete page appearance is page by page. I have to make it up.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to format pages frequently by storing frequently used lexical data, graphics or logo marks in a storage device as printing components and display components in advance. An object of the present invention is to provide a document creator that can easily and quickly edit a document while confirming it on a display device.

Means for storing the lexical data or the graphic or logo mark as a printing part in a printing part file, and converting the lexical data or the graphic or logo mark into display image data as a display part, A means for storing in a display part file and, when proofreading a document, obtain the display part of the lexical data or the graphic or logo mark from the display part file and edit it into the text data and the display document of the print format. Or, when printing a document, an editing unit that acquires the lexical data or the printing component of the graphic or the logo mark from the printing component file and edits the text data and the printing document, and the text data in the editing unit or Input means for inputting editing instructions and an external memory for storing the display document or print document And, equipped with a.

The details of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to a block diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, a document creator 1 includes a printing part data 2 for storing printing parts of a document, and a printing part data 2
, A DPI conversion unit 4 for converting the input printing component data 2 into image data, a control unit 5 for controlling the document creator, a printing component file 61, and a display component file. A component storage unit 6 for storing 62, an input unit 7 for inputting text data or editing instructions, a display unit 8 for displaying a document for proofreading a document, a display document for proofreading a document or a print document for printing. An editing unit 9 for editing, an external storage unit 10 for storing a display document or a printing document, and a printing unit 11 for printing a document are provided. The component input unit 3 stores the printing component data 2 in the printing component file 61, and the DPI conversion unit 4 converts the printing component data for displaying a bitmap display by reducing the dot density of the image. That is, the bit data is stored in the display component file 62 as a thinned display component.

Further, FIG. 2A shows a directory and a file of display component files for storing display components,
The display component management file 21 is a directory for storing information such as the display component file name and size currently stored.

Further, FIG. 2B shows a directory and files of a printing component file for storing the printing component, and the printing component management file 22 stores the currently stored printing component file name, size, etc. This is a directory that stores information.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 3A illustrates an image of a page format of a document, and FIG. 3B illustrates a layout format. When creating this document, the print part data 2 is stored in the print part data file 61 and the display part data file 62, respectively, and information such as file names and sizes is stored in the management files 21 and 22, respectively. It is stored. In general, graphics such as maps and company logos are image data, and can be used as display parts by thinning out the dot density of printing data. The DPI converter 4 creates the display parts and the display part management file 21.

When the part A35 is actually pasted in the area A34 shown in FIG. 3B, the editing unit 5 acquires detailed information of the part A from the display part management file 21 and displays the part A for display. It is read from the parts file 62. Area B3
Similarly, when the component B37 is pasted on 6, the editing unit 9 obtains detailed information of the component B from the display component management file 21 and reads the display component B37 from the display component file. The editing unit 9 transfers the data of the entire edited page to the display unit 8 for display.

Next, a case of printing a document edited on the display unit will be described.

The editing unit 9 obtains detailed information of the component A from the printing component management file 22 and reads the printing component A35 from the printing component file 61. The editing unit 9 further acquires detailed information of the component B37 from the printing component management file 22 and reads the printing component B37 from the printing component file. The editing unit 9 transfers the data of the entire page to the printing unit 11 and prints it.

In the above-described embodiment, by preparing the display component and the print component in the storage device in advance, it is possible to edit, confirm and print the document format more quickly.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, frequently-used lexical data, figures, and logo marks are used for printing parts and for display in which the dot density is converted for displaying a bitmap display. By including the parts and the files in the respective files, the page appearance can be displayed on the screen easily and quickly, and the page appearance can be printed quickly.

Further, according to the present invention, the WYSIWYG capability is realized, the document can be reused, and the labor of the document creation can be saved.
