By the way, in the document creating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the control unit 2 performs control as shown in FIG. 2 based on the control information stored in the predetermined area of the memory. Control

That is, the key word is extracted from the document which is created or edited and proofread, and is output and displayed by the output unit 7 (see step S21 in FIG. 2), and the content of the document is obtained by using the keyword in the document as a clue. Under the control of the control unit 2, the context processing unit 4 refers to the analysis dictionary unit 5 to perform the processing for recognizing (step S22 in FIG. 2).

Based on the analysis result, the font type and size suitable for the contents are selected from the contents of the document (step S23 in FIG. 2). Then, based on the selection result, the document font is converted on the display screen (step S24 in FIG. 2). The process is performed by the font selection unit 6 under the control of the control unit 2 based on the information from the context processing unit 4 and is output and displayed on the output unit 7.

Further, in the document creating apparatus configured as described above, the control unit 2 controls the control shown in FIG. 3 based on the control information stored in the predetermined area of the memory.
That is, the size of the print paper is first recognized from the paper size information on the format setting or print format setting screen (see step S31 in FIG. 3). This processing is performed by the paper size recognition unit 3 based on the information from the input unit 1 and the memory under the control of the control unit 2.

Next, based on the information from the control unit 2, the font selection unit 6 selects the font of the document suitable for the size of the printing paper (step S32 in FIG. 3). Based on the selection result, the font is converted into an appropriate font on the display screen (step S33 in FIG. 3).

The operation of the above configuration will be described in more detail below. First, the control unit 2 controls the control unit 2 for the document and the information about the print paper size which are input from the input unit 1 under the instruction to start the automatic font selection, and the generated document is transferred to the context processing unit 4.
The paper size information is sent to the paper size recognition unit 3.

The context processing unit 4 refers to the analysis dictionary unit 5 to extract key words from the created document, and recognizes the contents of the created document by using those keywords as clues. On the other hand, the paper size recognition unit 3 recognizes the size of the paper size based on the information on the paper size.

The recognition results of the context processing unit 4 and the paper size recognition unit 3 are sent to the font selection unit 6 via the control unit 2, and the type of output font suitable for the content of the created document and the size of the printing paper is sent. And size is selected. And
The output unit 7 converts the document on the screen and prints it on paper.

FIG. 4 shows an example of automatic selection of font type according to document contents. With respect to the user-created document 1 shown in FIG. 1A, key words such as "dearing", "while writing the end", and "kashiko" shown in 2 are checked.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3C, the document is recognized as a letter sentence by the keywords,
As shown in FIG. 4D, the brush is selected here as a font suitable for the sentence, and the document is converted into the brush.

FIG. 5 is another example of the document contents and the fonts corresponding thereto, which is information stored in a predetermined area of the memory. In this way, the font according to the document content is automatically selected.

FIG. 6 shows an example of automatic selection of the font type according to the print paper size. When the user specifies a paper size of 1 for the created document, the paper size of 2 is recognized as a postcard size based on this information. Then, as shown in 3, the brush type is selected as the font type corresponding thereto, and the font type of the document is converted to the brush type.

FIG. 7 shows an example of automatic selection of the font size according to the print paper size. When the user specifies a paper size of 1 for the created document, the paper size of 2 is recognized as the textbook size based on this information. Then, a font size suitable for the font size is selected as in 3, and the font size of the document is converted into the recognized size.

According to the above-described embodiment, the paper size information is referred to or the analysis dictionary information is referred to according to the content of the kana-kanji mixed document information, and output is displayed according to the content of the kana-kanji mixed document information that is output and displayed. Since the type of font to be used can be changed, the appearance of the document can be improved easily and quickly, and the usability can be improved. In particular,
In order to improve the appearance by changing the form of the output / displayed font according to the contents of the output / displayed character string, etc., the operator needs to perform troublesome work for that, and the work efficiency is significantly reduced. However, according to the present invention, such a conventional problem can be solved.
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and when the font is changed, it may be an optional format in which the user is asked whether or not to change.
