Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is a document editing apparatus incorporated in a word processor using a multi-window system, a desktop publishing (DTP) system or the like, and a part of the document elements displayed in a first window. Or a copy means for copying the document elements selected by the selection means to the second window, and cutting and pasting the document elements from the first window into a new window. The present invention relates to a document editing device provided with a document editing means for constructing a document.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A selection means for selecting a part or all of a document element displayed in a first window and a copying means for copying the document element selected by the selection means into a second window are provided. A conversion unit for uniformly adding a space [SP] / line feed [LF] code to the copying unit regardless of the type of character code displayed at the right end among the document elements selected by the selecting unit. Was configured. Here, the document elements selected by the selection unit are rearranged and displayed in the second window in the left window by the copying unit.

[0003]

However, among the document elements selected by the selecting means, the character displayed at the right end of the document element displayed in the first window is normally the document element in the next line. Despite the fact that a sentence is often followed by the above, the above handling is performed uniformly, so if the document element is selected from the middle of the line of the first window, the second window The document element displayed in is broken in the middle of the line. Therefore, each time,
It is necessary to re-edit the arrangement of the document elements, which is a very troublesome work, and there is a drawback that the editing efficiency is reduced. The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and to provide a document provided with a copying means capable of displaying the text in the second window without interruption even if the document element displayed in the first window is arbitrarily selected. The point is to provide an editing device.

[0004]

In order to achieve this object, the characteristic configuration of the document editing apparatus according to the present invention corresponds to the rightmost document element of the first window among the document elements selected by the selecting means. A discriminating means for discriminating the kind of the character code, and a space [SP] code is added to the character code when discriminated by the discriminating means as a character code indicating a character or a punctuation mark. The above-mentioned copying means is provided with a converting means for adding a space [SP] / linefeed [LF] code to the character code when it is identified. Also, among the document elements selected by the selection means, identification means for identifying the type of character code corresponding to the rightmost document element of the first window, and the identification means are character codes other than characters or punctuation marks. The copying means may be provided with a conversion means for adding a line feed [LF] code to the character code when the character code is identified.

[0005]

The character code corresponding to the document element at the right end of the first window among the document elements selected by the selecting means among the document elements displayed in the first window by the identifying means is alphanumeric or a kana character. It is a code that indicates punctuation marks that make up characters such as Chinese characters or sentences, or
It is identified whether it is a code indicating a special symbol or the like other than that. When the identifying unit identifies the character code indicating a character or a punctuation mark, the converting unit determines that the sentence continues on the next line, adds a space [SP] code to continue the sentence, When the character code is identified as other than that, a space [SP] / line feed [LF] code is added. Therefore, even if the text is rearranged in the second window so that it is left-justified, the text is copied without interruption in the middle of the line.

[0006]

As described above, according to the present invention, a document having a copying means capable of displaying a sentence in the second window without interruption even if the document element displayed in the first window is arbitrarily selected. An editing device can now be provided.

[0007]

EXAMPLES Examples will be described below. As shown in Figure 1,
The hardware of the document editing apparatus includes an input unit 1 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a printing unit 2 such as a laser beam printer, a display unit 3 such as a CRT, and a storage unit 4 such as a magnetic disk storing a document editing program and the like in a personal computer. It is configured to be connected to the computer main body 5 such as.

The above-mentioned document editing apparatus operates as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), X- which is the first window W1.
Create a new document by selecting some or all of the necessary document elements from the kana, kanji, alphanumeric, etc. displayed in the window and copying them to the template that is the second window W2. To do.

The main part of the editing procedure by the document editing program will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
The document editing program is read from the storage means 4 and operated <# 1>, and the original document is displayed in the X-window W1 <# 2>. As shown in FIG. 3A, the X-window W
A required document element is selected from the original document displayed in 1 (hereinafter referred to as text) <# 3>. More specifically, among the texts in the X-window W1, when the mouse cursor is moved to the beginning of the document element to be copied and the character from the first character to the last document element is dragged, the selected document element is displayed in negative / positive inversion. To be done. Then, the mouse cursor is moved to the template W2 <# 4>, and the execution of the copy operation of the selected document element is started by clicking the mouse <# 5>. Now, as shown in Fig. 3 (b),
This is a pen. This is a d
esk. When the document element "" is selected, a space [SP] (character code is 20H) is uniformly applied to the character code at the right end of the X-window W1.
[LF] (character code is 0AH) code is added <# 6>, but the type of character code corresponding to the document element at the right end of the first window is identified <# 7.
>, A character or a punctuation mark is identified as a character code, a space [S
P] Add a code <# 8>. In this case, since the character code is "s", a space [SP] code is added. After that, the selected document element is arranged in the template W2 as shown in FIG.
>. The above-described operation is repeated until the copying of the necessary parts is completed <# 10>.

That is, in the above-mentioned document editing apparatus and the program executed in the document editing apparatus, step <# 3> serves as a selecting means for selecting a part or all of the document elements displayed in the first window. , Step <#
4> to step <# 9> is copying means for copying the document element selected by the selecting means to the second window, and the selecting means and the copying means use the document element displayed in the first window. Configure the functional elements of the document editing means for constructing a new document in the second window, and step <
# 7> is the identification means for identifying the type of character code corresponding to the rightmost document element of the first window among the document elements selected by the selection means, and step <# 6>
>, <# 8> is a character code indicating a character or a punctuation mark by the identifying means, a space [SP] code is added to the character code, and it is identified as a character code other than that. Space [SP] / Line feed [L] in the character code
F] It becomes a conversion means for adding a code.

In summary, the converting means, when the identifying means identifies the character code indicating a character or a punctuation mark, determines that the sentence continues on the next line and adds a space [SP] code. If the character code is identified as a character code other than that, a space [SP] / line feed [LF] code is added to separate the document, so the left window is displayed in the second window. Even if the data is rearranged by closing, the text is copied without interruption in the middle of the line.

The series of operations of the identifying means and the converting means in the above-described embodiment can be started by using a shortcut key to simplify the operation.

In the above embodiment, when the identifying means identifies the character code as a character or a punctuation mark, a space [SP] code is added to the character code, and the character code is identified as other character code. In the case where the copying means is provided with a converting means for adding a space [SP] / line feed [LF] code to the character code in the above case, the invention is not limited to this, and the same effect can be obtained. The copying means may be provided with a converting means for simply adding a line feed [LF] code to the character code when the identifying means identifies the character code as a character code other than characters or punctuation marks. .

It should be noted that reference numerals are given in the claims for convenience of comparison with the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the accompanying drawings by the entry.
