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,
Particularly, the present invention relates to editing processing such as inputting characters on a character string including attributes in an already created document, replacing the character string, and moving / copying.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional document creating apparatus is capable of correcting a document already created by proofreading such as correction, insertion and deletion of characters and a character string editing function. The characters that make up a document are in the form of codes, and are stored in an external storage device during storage and in a storage device within the document creation device during processing such as creation, proofreading, and editing. Further, in order to attach an attribute to a character, attribute information expressed by other than a simple code, for example, attribute information such as underline is added and stored in a document. By the way, in the conventional document creating apparatus, when a character is newly inserted in a character string to which an attribute is added, the attribute information is not added to the new character code. But usually
When a new character string is inserted into a character string to which attribute information such as underline is added, the same attribute information is often added to the character. Therefore, when inserting a new character string into a character string to which attribute information such as underline is added, it is necessary to add attribute information to the inserted character after inserting the character,
Very complicated.

In order to solve the above problem, there is a document preparation device disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-67215. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the document creating apparatus. In the figure, 101 is a CPU, 102 is a main storage device (MMU), 103 is a keyboard, 104 is a CRT, and 105 is a floppy disk device (FDD).

In the example of this document creating apparatus, the MMU 102
A new character is inserted from the keyboard 103 to a character string to which attribute information such as an underline is added from the data such as the above document information or the data such as the document information stored in the floppy disk or the like through the FDD 105. In this case, according to the attribute information added to the characters before and after the insertion position, the CPU 101 processes so that the same attribute information is added to the inserted character, and the MMU 102 or FDD1 is added.
It is stored in a floppy disk etc. through 05, and CRT1
It is configured to be displayed at 04. However, in this example, when a new character string is inserted into a character string to which attribute information is added, the same attribute information is added to the character to be inserted. Is not considered, and in the case of overwriting, the attribute information is not added to the overwritten character.

[0005]

Since the conventional document creating apparatus is configured as described above, attribute information expressed by other than simple codes for assigning attributes to characters, such as bold, italic, outline, and shadow. Attached, character width, shaded, shaded,
Underline, cancel, box, superscript, underline, font size,
When correcting a character that has attribute information such as character pitch and typeface, when the character string is overwritten instead of being inserted, the replaced character code is the original character that is overwritten. The attribute information attached to the code is not inherited, and the attribute has to be specified again despite the fact that the character is input by overwriting in order to simply replace the character, so the operation is troublesome.

Attribute information expressed by characters other than simple codes for giving attributes to characters, for example, bold, italic, white, shaded, character width, shaded, halftone, underlined, strikethrough,
When you search for a character that has attribute information such as a box, superscript, subscript, character size, character pitch, and typeface, and replace it with a new character string, the replaced character code is attached to the replaced original character code. However, there is a problem that the operation is troublesome because the attribute information is not inherited and the attribute has to be specified again even though the character is simply replaced.

Attribute information expressed by means other than simple codes for assigning attributes to characters, such as bold, italic, white, shaded, character width, shaded, halftone, underlined, cancelled, boxed, superscripted , Subscript, character size, character pitch, typeface, etc. When you perform an edit operation by moving or copying another character to a character that has attribute information, the moved or copied character code will be copied or moved to. Since the attribute information attached to the original character code of is not inherited, the operation is troublesome because the attribute must be specified anew, even though the editing operation such as moving or copying the character is simply performed. was there.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and the attribute information can be inherited without specifying the attribute again at the time of overwriting, replacing, and editing operations, and the attribute information can be attached. The purpose is to obtain a selectable document preparation device.
