2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional document creating apparatus, such as a word processor, when a document is replaced in page units, a document moving function is used to specify a document range of a moving source and store it in a storage unit. Next, when the user wants to specify the destination and take out the document stored in the storage unit and replace the pages in the document a plurality of times in order to perform the document data insertion process, the above-described operation is performed for the number of replacement processes.

[0003]

As described in the previous item, when it is desired to perform a plurality of page-by-page replacement processes in a document, the document data range of the source of the document is specified, and the cursor to the destination is moved. It took a lot of time and effort because the movement operation had to be performed multiple times.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a document editing system capable of collectively processing a plurality of page-by-page replacement processes in document editing, and a document creating apparatus using the system.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a plurality of page replacement information indicating which page is to be replaced by which page is input by the input unit, and the page break control code is added to the document data input to each page. The page break control code recognition unit checks whether or not the page break control code exists. When the page break control code is recognized, the document data control unit detects the page break control code. Sequentially storing the document data input to the page corresponding to, and storing the page replacement information, after all the control code is recognized, based on the page replacement information, a plurality of corresponding to the control code A sentence characterized by performing replacement processing (sort processing) of document data and collectively replacing document data in page units Editing method is obtained.

Further, according to the present invention, an input unit for inputting a plurality of page replacement information for each page of currently stored document data, and an address of an end point of the document data input for each page. A page break control code recognition unit for recognizing the page break control code given in correspondence with the document data to be replaced and the page replacement information are stored, and the page replacement control code is tried in the order of pages instructed by the operator. There is obtained a document creation device characterized by including a document data control unit for replacing document data.

Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a document creating apparatus characterized in that a display unit for displaying the page replacement information input by the input unit on the screen is provided.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an input screen image for performing batch replacement processing of pages in a document. The left side of the input screen image shown in FIG. 1 displays the document page before the page replacement process, that is, the page for the current document data. On the right side of the input screen image shown in FIG. 1, the left side shows a field for inputting “how many pages are to be replaced before” from the keyboard after the page replacement of the document page.
As will be described below, this input screen image is an input screen image for the operator to instruct the page replacement process displayed on the screen in order to instruct how to perform the page replacement process.

Next, a specific operation of the document editing system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for performing the page replacement batch processing, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an internal configuration provided for performing the page replacement batch processing. First, the input unit 21 inputs a plurality of page replacement information indicating which page is to be replaced with which page. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, pages 1, 2, and 3 of the document data before replacement are replaced with pages 2, 1, and 3, respectively.
This replacement is performed by inputting the number of the page to be replaced with the input unit, that is, the keyboard while looking at the input screen image displayed on the screen (step 12). The operator performs line breaks at all the end points of the document data input to each page, and tags the page break control code. By tagging with this page break control code, the range of document data in the page to be replaced can be specified. The page break control code is stored in the document management code area. After tagging, the page break control code recognition unit 22 checks whether or not the page break control code exists (is stored) in the document management code area (step 13).
That is, all page replacement instructions instructed by the operator are checked. Here, when the page break control code is recognized (when there is a code in step 13), a tag area for storing page replacement information is secured immediately after the page break control code (step 14). The page replacement information instructed on the input screen is sequentially stored in the secured tag area (step 15). Further, although not shown, the storage unit provided in the document data control unit 23 also sequentially stores the document data input to the page corresponding to the page break control code. For the first page of the document data, the tag area is secured immediately after the document management control area is recognized.

Until the page break control code recognizing unit 22 determines that the page break control code does not exist in the document management code area, steps 13 to 15 are continued.
The process up to is repeated. When all the page break control codes are recognized and the page break control code recognition unit 22 determines that the page break control code is absent in the document management code area (when there is no code in step 13), the page replacement is performed. Based on the information, replacement processing (sort processing) of a plurality of document data corresponding to the page break control code is performed (step 16), and the document data is collectively replaced in page units. After the sorting process is completed, the tag area in the document data is erased (step 17), and the page replacement process is completed (step 18).

Further, when the sorting process is performed after the document data is stored, if the pages after replacement are read in the ascending order, it is possible to replace the pages after the replacement in the young order and without any blank space between documents. Is. For example, a document in which the number of pages after replacement is 1 is first read and written in the memory. After that, the document is written at the position corresponding to the address of the end point of the document in accordance with the start point of the document whose number of pages after replacement is two. After that, when the number of pages is 3 or more, the document is written in the same manner, and when all the stored documents are read out, the sorting process ends.

[0012]

As described above, when replacing a plurality of pages in a document, a plurality of page replacement instructions can be issued by one operation, and the operation can be simplified.
