55: Yes), and the leading address of the first ruled line information of the plurality of ruled line information is set in the instruction pointer PP (S5
7) When the ruled line information pointed by the pointing pointer PP is the last, that is, when the ruled line information is not stored (S5
8: Yes), the layout image is displayed on the display 33 based on the dot pattern data expanded in the display data buffer 46h (S61), and the text line designated by the cursor K is displayed immediately before the transition to the layout image display control. Inverted dot pattern data in which all the dot pattern data of the layout image display data is inverted is created, the block cursor BK is displayed on that line (S62), this control is ended, and the layout image display processing control Return to S31.

For example, as shown in FIG. 16 (c), the layout image of the input text data consisting of the first block consisting of three lines and the second block consisting of two lines is displayed on the display 33. At the same time, the block cursor BK is displayed on the second line of the second block by inverting the dot pattern data. Further, the ruled line type “solid line” is displayed at the right end of the display 33.

In the layout image display processing control, when the space key is operated (S31.
S32: Yes), the selection screen for selecting the ruled line type is displayed. Change the ruled line type cyclically in the order of "solid line" → "dashed line" → "none" → "solid line" → ... Then, the ruled line type changing process to be set is executed (S37) and S30.
And returns to S31. Here, when the cursor right movement key or the cursor left movement key is operated (S (S31: Yes
, S32: No, S33: Yes), and when the code key is not used at the same time (S38: No), the block cursor moving process for moving the block cursor BK in the direction according to the type of the cursor moving key is executed (S39). , S30 and S
Return to 31.

By the way, when the cursor right / left movement key is operated with the code key (S38: Yes), or when the cursor up movement key or the cursor down movement key is operated with the code key (S31: Yes, S32-S
33: No, S34: Yes, S40: Yes), and partial ruled line designation processing control (see FIG. 10) is executed (S41). When this control is started, first, regarding the text line designated by the block cursor BK, ruled line information for drawing a ruled line on one of the upper, lower, left and right sides specified by the cursor movement key is calculated. (S70).

Next, regarding the obtained ruled line information,
Except for the ruled line type data, the ruled line information buffer 46f is searched for the presence or absence of data of the ruled line information having the same line number and the contents of the side for drawing the ruled line (S71), and when similar ruled line information data exists. (S72: Yes), the similar ruled line information is once deleted from the ruled line information buffer 46f (S73), and the calculated ruled line information is newly added and stored in the ruled line information buffer 46f (S74). Upon completion, the process returns to S30 of the layout movement display processing control, and in addition to the layout image display, ruled line display data based on the created ruled line information is created and displayed on the display 33. However, when there is no ruled line information similar to the calculated ruled line information (S72: No), S
73 is skipped and S74 is executed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 16C, when the block cursor BK is a two-line memory of the second block, that is, when the line number is "5", the cursor right shift key and the cursor are moved together with the code key. When the down move key is operated, as shown in FIG. 15, ruled line information numbers KI1, KI
2, the ruled line information for drawing the “solid line” ruled lines is stored on the right side and the lower side of the text line with the line number “5”, respectively, and as shown in FIG. KS1, KS
2 is displayed respectively.

That is, in the layout image display information creation processing control, the leading address of the first ruled line information is set in the instruction pointer PP based on the ruled line information in the ruled line information buffer 46e (S57), and the ruled line information is stored. Sometimes (S58: No), ruled line display data is created from the ruled line information pointed by the pointing pointer PP, and the ruled line display data is expanded in the display data buffer 46h (S59). Then, the start address of the next ruled line information is set in the instruction pointer PP (S60), S58 to S60 are repeatedly executed, and when the ruled line display data is expanded for all the ruled line information (S58: Yes), the process returns via S61. To do.

By the way, in the layout image display processing control, when the batch designation key is operated in order to draw the ruled lines on each of the four sides of the instructed line collectively (S31: Yes, S32 to 34: No). , S35: Yes), and ruled line collective designation processing control (see FIG. 11) is executed (S42). When this control is started, first, the start address of the first line information is set in the row pointer GP, and the start address of the ruled line information buffer 46f is set in the instruction pointer PP (S80). Next, ruled line information for drawing a ruled line on each of the four sides of the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the text line designated by the line pointer GP is created, and these four ruled line information are stored in the ruled line information buffer 46f. To be done.

When the line pointer GP points to a line other than the final text line (S82: No), the start address of the next line information is set in the line pointer GP (S83), and the pointing pointer is set. A leading address capable of storing the next ruled line information is set in PP (S84), and S81 to S
84 is repeatedly executed. Then, when the creation of the four ruled line information is completed for all the text lines (S82: Yes), this control is terminated and the process returns to S30 of the layout image display processing control, and each text is displayed on the display 33. With respect to the line, a ruled line is collectively drawn. For example, as shown in FIG. 16E, a ruled line KS is drawn on each of the upper, lower, left and right sides of each of the five text lines.

On the other hand, when the cancel key is operated in the layout image display processing control (S31: Yes).
, S32 to 35: No, S36: Yes), the layout display mode is released, the control is terminated, and the process returns to S11 of the text input control. In this text input control, when the print key is operated (S12: Yes
, S13 to S14: No, S15: Yes), the punching printing process is executed (S19), and the process returns to S12 via S11.

For example, the left side, the upper side, and the right side of the line with the line number "1" are specified, and the line with the line number "2" is specified.
The left side and the right side are specified, the left side, the lower side, and the right side are specified for the row of line number "3", the upper side and the right side are specified for the row of line number "4," and the line number "5" is specified. When the lower side and the right side of the lines are designated and punch printing is performed on the stamp face 26 of the stamp unit 10, the input text data is printed and the designated lines are designated as shown in FIG. Ruled lines are printed on each side.

On the other hand, when punching printing is performed on the stamp face portion 26 after executing the ruled line collective designation processing, the input text data is printed and the ruled lines are formed so as to surround each line of the text data, as shown in FIG. Printed. Here, when the stamp face layout key is operated (S1
2: Yes, S13 to S15: No, S16: Yes), as described above, the stamp face layout creating process of inputting data for the standard layout of the selected stamp face layout name is executed (S20), and then S11 to S12. Return. Printable key,
When a key other than the layout display key, the print key, and the stamp layout key is operated (S13: Yes, S14 to S)
16: No), the process corresponding to the operated key is executed (S21), and the process returns to S12 via S11.

In the stamp unit heating / printing device 30 of the stamp device described above, in the layout display mode, a specific text line is designated by the block cursor BK, and the up, down, left, and right sides of the line are designated by cursor movement keys. By simply doing this, the ruled line display data for the specified side is created, so that the ruled line for the specified side of the designated line can be drawn at once. Furthermore, when the collective designation key is operated, the four lines above, below, left and right of the text line designated by the block cursor BK are displayed.
Since a ruled line can be designated for each side, it is possible to draw a ruled line on all four sides of the designated line all at once by designating a specific text line in the layout display mode.

It should be noted that during execution of the text input control, a ruled line is drawn partially or collectively on each of the designated upper, lower, left and right sides of the text line designated by the cursor K. Within the scope of the technical idea, various modifications may be made to the above-described embodiments based on existing technology or technology obvious to those skilled in the art. It is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to various document processing devices such as a label printing device having a keyboard, a printing mechanism, a display and the like.

In the text input mode, by specifying a line and specifying the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the line, the ruled line data of the specified side is created. Therefore, the ruled line of the specified side for the specified line is created. Can be drawn at a stretch.

According to the document processing apparatus of the second aspect, the input means, the data storage means, and the display means are provided, and further the display data creating means, the line designating means, the side designating means, and the ruled line data creating means. In the layout display mode, by designating a line and designating the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the line, the ruled line data of the designated side is created. It is possible to draw the ruled lines of the edges at a stretch.

According to the document processing apparatus of the third aspect, the same effect as that of the second aspect can be obtained, but the side designating unit collectively designates the four sides of the line designated by the line designating unit. Since a batch designation means for performing the layout is included, it is only necessary to designate a row in the layout display mode.
You can draw the ruled lines for all one side at a stretch.
