A display control unit for causing the display device 6 to display, 9 is an editing unit for controlling the entire device of the present embodiment, and 10 is for controlling the scanner 11.
A scanner controller that stores the data read by the scanner 11 in the in-area data storage unit 12, 13 will be described later,
It is a storage unit of mark data displayed instead of the edit result data.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a mark displayed by the mark data. FIG. 3 (a) shows the mark when the data in the area is an image, and FIG. In this case, a mark indicating this is shown.

The operation of the document creating apparatus of this embodiment configured as described above will be described below.

In the document creating apparatus of this embodiment, for example, the input analysis unit 2 that analyzes the input from the keyboard 1A or the mouse 1B.
If the result of the analysis in step 1 is a rectangular area setting instruction, the rectangular area is set under the control of the editing unit 9, and the information is stored in the area information data storage unit 5. If the result analyzed by the input analysis unit 2 is an image data reading instruction, the image data read from the scanner 11 via the scanner controller 10 under the control of the editing unit 9 is stored in the area data storage unit. Store in 12. If the result analyzed by the input analysis unit 2 is an image data display instruction, the display control unit is controlled under the control of the editing unit 9.
8, in-area data storage unit 12 via display controller 7
The image data in the image is displayed on the display device 6.

For example, in this state, when the operator inputs an instruction as to whether or not to display an arbitrary area, this input is analyzed by the input analysis section 2, and based on the result, the area determination section 4 The individual area is designated, and the display determination section 3 stores the determination result of whether or not to display the data in the designated area in the area information data storage section 5.

Hereinafter, the description of the operation will be continued with reference to the operation flowchart shown in FIG.

The editing unit 9 is normally in a state of waiting for input (step 21). As described above, when the operator inputs an instruction as to whether or not to display an arbitrary area, the step
The area is determined at 23, the information is stored in the area information data storage unit 5, and then it is determined at step 24 whether or not the display of the in-area data is necessary. The processing is divided as follows based on the result of this determination. That is, if the result of the determination as to whether or not the display of the in-area data is necessary in step 24 is the display "necessary", the process proceeds to step 25, and the image data in the above-mentioned in-area data storage unit 12 is read and this data is read. Is displayed on the display device 6 via the display controller 8 and the display controller 7 under the control of the editor 9 (step 2
6). On the other hand, if the result of the determination of the necessity of displaying the data in the area in step 24 is “No” for the display, the process proceeds to step 27, where the mark data in the mark data storage unit 13 is read and The corresponding mark is displayed on the display device 6 (step 28).
