DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An example in which the structure of the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a document processing apparatus for carrying out the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an input unit such as a keyboard for inputting a character code or the like to create a character or the like. 2 displays document information such as characters and key lines.
A display unit such as a CRT display. A printing unit 3 prints document information such as characters and key lines. Reference numeral 4 denotes a control unit such as a microprocessor for controlling each of the above units. A storage unit 5 stores characters and format data.

The control unit 4 includes an edit control unit 6 for controlling creation and editing of various documents, a display control unit 7 for controlling screen display, and a print control unit 8 for controlling document printing. .

The edit control unit 6 includes a color change control unit 9 for changing the color of characters, key lines, figures and the like.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a color changing process for changing the color of the outline illustration. This flow chart exemplifies the process of changing the white portion of the outline illustration of FIG. 3 to yellow. Hereinafter, the flowchart of FIG. 2 will be sequentially described.

First, in step 21, a target for color change is designated. In the example of FIG. 3, since the white part is changed to yellow, the cursor is moved to the white part to specify the target. When the target is designated, the change target is highlighted in step 22 as shown in FIG. As the reverse display method, there is a method of using a complementary color of the original color or a method of replacing the character color and the character background color. At this time, it is in a state where the color (white) before the change is unknown.

If the target to be designated in the next step 23 still exists, the target designation key is used to designate the target in step 2
The target specified in 2 is highlighted. If there is no target to be changed, the execution key is input in step 23 to end the target designation. When the target designation is completed, the reverse display of the change target is canceled in step 24, and the screen for designating the changed color is displayed. In the example, the reverse display is canceled and a palette for designating the changed color is displayed as shown in FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 5, since the reverse display of the change target is canceled, the changed color can be specified on the palette while checking the original color. When the changed color is specified by the palette in step 25, the changed color is set in step 26, and when the execution key is input again in step 25, the color data is changed in step 27 and the color changing process ends. To do.

In the example, the color can be changed as shown in FIG. 6 by inputting the execution key after designating yellow on the palette. Step 25
Enter the cancel key with to return to the target state.

Next, a color changing process for changing the color of a character will be described. FIG. 7 is a color change processing flowchart for changing the color of a character. The flowchart of FIG. 7 will be described below while taking an example of changing the character color in the diagonal range of the characters “Su” to “Hi” from black to red in FIG.

First, in step 71, the first point of the target range is designated. In the case of the example, the cursor is moved to “” and the first point is designated. Next, in step 72, move the cursor to 2
Move to the dot and enter the target specification key (character, line, diagonal can be specified) to determine the specified range. In the case of the example, FIG.
Move the cursor to "HI" and input the diagonal designation key.

The designated character is identified in step 73 in FIG.
The display is reversed such as 0, and at this time, the original color of the character cannot be confirmed. Next, if the designated range is correct, the execution key is entered in step 74 to determine the designated range.
If it is incorrect, the cancel key is input to determine the designated range again.

When the designated range is determined, the reverse display of the character designated as the object in step 75 is canceled and a screen for designating the changed color is displayed. In the example, the reverse display is canceled and a palette for designating the changed color is displayed as shown in FIG. In this state, the changed character color can be designated while confirming the original character color as shown in FIG. In step 76 for specifying the changed color, the color is selected from the palette, the changed color is set in step 77, and when the execution key is input in step 76, step 8 is executed.
At 0, the color data is changed, and the color changing process ends.

In the example, the color can be changed as shown in FIG. 13 by inputting the execution key after designating red on the palette. Step 76
Press the cancel key with to return to the confirmation state of the target specified range.

At step 76, if the range confirmation key is selected when the original character color (black) is displayed as shown in FIG. The display is performed and the state shown in FIG. 12 is displayed so that the target range can be confirmed.

When the target confirmation range is highlighted as shown in FIG. 12, if the color confirmation key is selected, the highlighted display is canceled in step 79 and the original color is displayed as shown in FIG. I can confirm. In this way, when the changed color is designated, the display state is switched, so that it is possible to confirm the target range and the original character color.

There is also a method of confirming the designated range by a special display in which the designated range is surrounded by a line, instead of completely canceling the reverse display.
