Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of jobs and to improve operability by preparing plural exchange area through one time of area editing operation concerning the area to which an exchange attribute is added. SOLUTION: When a key for editing the exchange area is inputted, the exchange attribute, the number of exchange areas and exchange area data managing address are stored in the area managing data of a data area 108. The prepared area data are stored in the exchange area data of the data area 108, and the content editing picture of the exchange area is displayed on a display 103. Then, the number of pages in the prepared document is calculated from the exchange attribute and the number of exchange areas of area managing data, which are stored in this data area 108, and stored in the page managing information of the data area 108. Thus, the plural exchange contents of areas requiring the change of contents of areas inside the document to be prepared are prepared through one time of area editing operation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to a document editing display printing apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the contents of each area, the base point position,
There is a device that determines a size and the like, creates a document, and prints and displays the created document.

Further, when changing and printing the area contents of a created document, a means for repeating document creation, printing, and display as necessary, or after adding the same page by page copying, correcting only the area to be changed, There is a device that has means for creating, printing, and displaying a page.

[0004]

However, the conventional document editing display printing apparatus has the following problems.

Without changing the layout of the created document area,
When changing the contents of some areas, copy the page using the created page or document, or update the document,
There was a problem that the work efficiency was poor and the operability was poor because a document or page had to be created again.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a document edit display printing apparatus for creating a plurality of replacement contents of an area in which the content of the area in the document to be created needs to be changed by one area editing operation. Especially.

A second object of the present invention is to replace an area of a created document with data of replacement content, create a page corresponding to the number of areas of the replacement content, and display or print in page units. An object is to provide an edit display printing device.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a document edit display printing apparatus creates a plurality of replacement areas for one area edit designation by adding a replacement attribute to the area data by the editing and proofing means. I made it possible.

Further, the area to which the replacement attribute of the created document is added is replaced with the data of the replacement content, and the pages corresponding to the number of replacement contents are created and displayed or printed page by page. .

By creating a one-page document, designating only an area requiring replacement of the contents, and creating a plurality of replacement contents in the area, a plurality of pages of documents are created at one time, and the document, Alternatively, the work for recreating the page is not required, and the work can be reduced.

Further, since it is possible to create a page according to the number of replacement contents of the area to which the replacement attribute of the created document is added and display or print the replacement result page by page, the document contents can be displayed. It can be easily confirmed or output.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to an example in which they are applied to a Japanese word processor.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document edit display printing apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 100 denotes a central processing unit, which controls the entire document editing display printing apparatus. Reference numeral 101 denotes a keyboard which is an input device, and has keys for inputting characters and numbers, keys for screen control, keys for processing instructions, and the like. A keyboard controller 102 controls a keyboard. A display 103 is a display device, which displays character data, graphic data, processing instruction items, and the like. A display controller 104 controls the display. Reference numeral 105 denotes a printer, and 108 prints the print image data stored in the data area. A printer controller 106 controls the printer. Reference numeral 107 denotes a program area, which is a control program for the document edit display printing device,
Holds editing programs, etc. A data area 108 stores print image data and the like.

Next, the operation of each part of FIG. 1 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

First, in FIG. 2, when a key for activating the area editing function of the keyboard 101 is input, an area editing screen (FIG. 3) is displayed on the display 103 (step 201). Next, in step 202, after selecting new creation, the type of area to be created is selected, and the size of the area, the base point position, etc. are set (step 203). The set area management data is stored in the data area 108, and the area content edit screen is displayed (FIG. 4).

In step 204, when the key for ending the editing is input during the editing of the contents of the area, the created area data is stored in the area management data of the data area 108 and the area editing is completed ( Step 205).

When a key for editing the replacement area is input in step 206, the replacement attribute, the number of replacement areas, and the replacement area data management address are stored in the area management data of the data area 108. The created area data is stored in the replacement area data in the data area 108, and the content editing screen of the replacement area (FIG. 4) is displayed on the display 103 (step 204).

In step 208, the page number of the created document is calculated from the replacement attribute of the area management data stored in the data area 108 and the number of replacement areas, and stored in the page management information of the data area 108.

When a key for creating another area is input in step 209, the process returns to step 202. When a key for ending area editing is input, a one-page layout screen (FIG. 5) is displayed on the display 103 by the page management information, area management data, and replacement area data stored in the data area 108. (Step 2
10).

When a key for displaying the next page or the previous page is input in step 211, the page layout of the corresponding page is determined by the page management information, area management data and replacement area data stored in the data area 108. The screen (FIG. 5) is displayed on the display 103. Further, when a key for confirming the content of the area information is input, the content screen (FIG. 6) of the replacement area data is displayed on the display 103 by the area management data and the replacement area data stored in the data area 108. .

When a key for printing is input in step 212, the number of copies to be printed for each page is designated by the page management information stored in the data area 108, and the data area is designated.
It is stored in the print condition information 108 (step 213).

In step 214, print image data is created based on the page management information, area management data, replacement area data, and printing condition information stored in the data area 108 and stored in the data area 108.
The print image data stored in 8 is output to the printer 105.

FIG. 7 shows an example of displaying and printing the replacement result.

[0025]

According to the present invention, it is possible to create a plurality of replacement contents of an area that needs to be changed in the area of a document to be created by a single area editing operation.
Alternatively, a document having a plurality of pages can be created without recreating pages, which reduces the work and improves operability.

Further, since the area of the created document is replaced with the data of the replacement content and the pages corresponding to the number of areas of the replacement content can be created and displayed or printed page by page, the content of the document is easy. Can be confirmed and output.
