The initial value is discriminated based on the existing data, and if the initial value is accompanied by a numerical value input area (in this case, an arbitrary page), the numerical value input area of the number of arbitrary pages can be input in step 3. Then, in step 4, a page call window as shown in FIG. 10 opens,
(At this time, looking at the page call item setting data in the setting table 5, a black circle is displayed as an initial value based on the data in which the flag is 1.) In step 2, the initial value is a numerical value input area. If it is not accompanied by (in this case, an arbitrary page), the process of step 4 is directly performed.

Then, in step 5, whether or not something has been input from the input section 2 into the page number input area 12 of an arbitrary page, or whether a page item other than the currently set page item has been set,
Alternatively, it is determined whether the execute key or the cancel key is pressed, and when a numerical value is input in the page number input area 12 of an arbitrary page, the processes of steps 6 to 8 are performed, and when the page item is set. The processing from step 9 to step 11 is performed,
When the execute key is selected, the process of step 12 is performed, and when the cancel key is selected, the process of step 13 is performed and the process ends.

When the page number is input from the input unit 2 to the page input area 12 of the arbitrary page in step 5, the page number is displayed in the page number input area 12 of the arbitrary page in step 6, and step 7 is executed. , The page setting item setting data in the setting table 5 is checked to determine whether the flag of the arbitrary page is 1, and if the flag is not 1, the flag of the arbitrary page is set to 1 in step 8. , An arbitrary page of the window is displayed as a black circle as shown in FIG. 10, and the process returns to step 5.
