Abstract

PURPOSE: To reduce the load of document preparation by clearly showing the explanation of a figure or a table and the correspondence with quotation between the area of the figure or table and a text for a document preparing person and supporting the document preparation. CONSTITUTION: A mixed document file 1 for storing document data is composed of area data 5 for storing the various kinds of document information of the entire file, allocation information 3, text data 4 and area data 5 such as graphic information like maps, image information such as photographs and numerical information. This file 1 is read by a file access means 6 and with this file as paper 11, a printed image composed of area data 8 including an identifier 9, keyword 10, text 12 and page number 13 is extended in a print image extending memory 7 by an extending means 14. At such a time, concerning the table of correspondence between the identifiers of plural pieces of area data and the numbers of pages where those data exist, a table generating means 18 generates a correspondence table 20 in a correspondence table storage memory 19 and that table is displayed by a display means 21.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a word processor, and more particularly to a word processor that manages document data such as text data and area data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional word processor has a means for incorporating figures and tables into a document. However, explanations and citations using figures and tables can be made even if there are major corrections during document creation and editing. The creator is always in control.

[0003]

Among documents including figures and tables, there are often documents in which figures and tables are numbered and explained or cited in the text. It is necessary for the person who creates the document to create and manage meaningful explanations and citations in figures and tables that are present in the document and in the text, but in word processors, it is known as a system. It does not provide the means to support it.

Therefore, when proofreading work such as input editing is repeated, the page position shifts due to the relationship between figures and tables and the text, and while reading the text, it is difficult to read the table on another page. It often happens that it becomes a document. Also, due to the replacement of figures and tables, the correspondence with the main text may be misaligned (missing, leaking, malfunctioning, duplication, etc.),
It is necessary for the creator of the document to re-read it many times and make corrections.

[0005]

A word processor of the present invention accesses a mixed document file composed of area data including figures and tables, images, body text data, document format / allocation information, and the mixed document file. Means, a print image developing memory, a developing means for drawing and developing the mixed data into an image printed on paper and storing it in the print image developing memory, and area data including a figure, a table, and an image from the mixed file, respectively. A means for identifying and retrieving specific area data, a means for knowing the page in which the specific area data exists, a means for retrieving a keyword identifying the area data from the text data of the mixed file, and its keyword Means for knowing the page number where there is, the identifier of multiple area data, the page number where it exists and the text of the text And keywords in over data, and means for creating a correspondence management table of the page number in which they are present,
A management means configured to store this, a means for displaying a correspondence table of the stored area data and text data of the text, a marker for the area data identifier of the print image of the document and the keyword in the text. Means for adding and displaying.

[0006]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an embodiment of a word processor according to the present invention.

A mixed document file 1 for storing document data
Is an area data 5 for storing various document information of the entire file, for example, a title, a size of a sheet, information regarding whether to add a page, a position on the sheet, a number of paragraph frames, a size, and the like.
And various information of the nnth page, for example, the page ΔΔ, the coordinates (xx, yy) on the paper, and the xxth xx of the size (mm, nn).
It is composed of allocation information 3 such as a sticky figure, body text data 4, graphic information such as a map, image information such as a photograph, area data 5 such as mathematical information.

The file access means 6 reads the mixed document file 1 and stores it in the print image expansion memory 7.
The developing means 14 develops a printed image composed of the area data 8 including the identifier 9, the keyword 10, the body 12, and the page number 13 using this as a sheet 11. At this time, the page number acquisition means 15 and the area data search identification means 17
Then, the table generation means 18 generates a correspondence table of the identifiers of the plurality of area data and the page numbers in which they exist from the text data search means 16, and the correspondence table storage memory 1
9, the correspondence table 20 is generated and displayed by the display means 21.

[0010]

[Effects of the Invention] With a word processor, it is possible to completely manage a figure, a table, etc. and a text as a document management system.
It is easy to use as a document creation system for routine work, but soft management is preferable as a tool for document creation that involves trial and error.

According to the present invention, the load of document creation is reduced by clearly indicating to the document creator the correspondence between diagrams and table explanations and citations in areas such as tables and body texts. Can be reduced.
