DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the document creating apparatus and the document creating method of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for carrying out the document creating apparatus and the document creating method of the present invention.

The document creating apparatus 10 is provided with an input unit 11 including a keyboard, a stylus pen, etc., so that input data such as document creating data and window data can be input. The input control unit 1 is included in the input unit 11.
A main control unit 13 including a CPU and the like is connected via 2. The main control unit 13 determines whether or not the input data input from the input unit 11 is document creation data, input data such as window data, and the like, and performs control designated by these input data.

The main controller 13 includes a ROM 14 and a RAM.
The external storage device 17 and the like are connected via 15 and the external storage device control unit 16. The ROM 14 stores information necessary for editing programs, kana-kanji conversion dictionary, etc., the RAM 15 stores document data constituting character code data, etc., and the external storage device 17 stores FDD, HD.
The document data composed of D and created is stored under the control of the external storage device control unit 16.

A display device 19 such as a CRT or LCD is connected to the main controller 13 via a display controller 18, and a printing device 2 such as a printer is connected via a print controller 20.
1 is connected. Input display data or created data is displayed on the display device 19 by the display control unit 18.
The input data or the created data is displayed on the printing apparatus 21 under the control of the print control section 20.

The operation of the document creating apparatus and the document creating method of the present invention thus constructed will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 2 and the display examples shown in FIGS.

When the document creation data is input from the input unit 11, the input data is sent to the main control unit 13 via the input control unit 12. The main control unit 13 determines whether or not the input data is data for creating a document (S
1).

When it is determined that the input data is for creating a document, the required document data is read from the RAM 15 according to the program of the ROM 14. The read document data is sent to the display device 19 through the display control unit 18 to create a document and is displayed as a document screen in a normal background color (S2).

It is assumed that window data of a page operation menu is sent from the input unit 11 to the main control unit 13 via the input control unit 12 as shown in FIG. 3 during the creation and display of the document. This window data is different from the input data displayed on the screen for creating a document (S1). This window data is stored in RAM15 according to the program in ROM14.
Read from the display device 19 and sent to the display device 19 via the display control unit 18. This window data is displayed in a background color different from that of the document creation screen (S3).

For example, if the window displayed by this window data and the page operation menu are displayed in red, the window screen can be clearly distinguished from the document screen, and the menu of 1 page insertion, 2 page deletion,
This makes it easy to identify 3 pages moved, 4 pages copied, etc., and a page insertion operation or the like can be quickly selected.

It is also assumed that the window data of the table edit menu is sent from the input unit 11 to the main control unit 13 via the input control unit 12 as shown in FIG. Since this window data is not the input data displayed on the screen for document creation as in FIG. 3 (S1), ROM1
When it is read from the RAM 15 according to the program No. 4 and sent to the display device 19 via the display control unit 18, it is displayed in a background color other than the document creation screen (S3).

For example, if a window having a table edit menu displayed by this window data is displayed in blue, it is easy to identify automatic table creation, automatic ruled lines, table input, table correction, etc., and automatic table creation is possible. When making a selection, the selection can be made quickly.

In the above embodiment, the window data is independently displayed, but as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the multi-window is divided into upper and lower parts on the display screen, and the display screen as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. If it is a multi-window that is split left and right above, 1 of the multi-window data
When the background color of one window is displayed with a background color different from the background color of another window, the identification becomes easy.

Further, the document screen and window screen displayed on the display device may be printed by a printing device.

[0025]

According to the present invention, an input means for inputting input data such as document creation data and window data, and a document for creating a document when the input means inputs the document creation data and displaying it as a document screen The creating and displaying means, the window forming and displaying means for forming a window when the window data is inputted by the inputting means, and displaying the window as a window screen, and the window forming and displaying means for forming the window by the document creating and displaying means. Since the background color screen creating means for displaying in a color different from the created document screen is provided, the window screen can be identified and displayed from the document screen.

Further, since a plurality of window screens are formed in the window forming and displaying means, and one of the window screens is displayed in a color different from that of the other window screens, there is provided a window selection background color screen creating means. A specific window screen can be selected and identified from the window screens.

Further, input data such as document creation data and window data is entered, and when the document creation data is entered, a document is created and displayed as a document screen, and when window data is entered, a window is formed. Since this is displayed as a window screen, and this window screen is displayed in a different color from the document screen,
The window screen can be identified and displayed from the document screen.

Further, since a plurality of window screens are formed on the display screen and one of the window screens is displayed in a different color from the other window screens, a specific window screen is selected from the plurality of window screens. Can be identified.
