Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the document editing device which displays a blank part as an image graduated by numerical values. SOLUTION: Sentence data and graphic data are expanded in an image buffer from a document storage means 1 in a print form of format setting, and the number of lines of the sentence, line spaces, and character spaces of sentence data and graphic data are counted by a line/character space counting means 3 to detect the position of a blank part consisting of several lines or several characters by a blank detection means, and the length and the width of this blank part are calculated by a numerical value counting means 5 to send numerical values in the unit of millimeter to a control means 7. Meanwhile, a frame counting means 6 counts the frame of a print form and the length and the width of the whole of the form by numerical values in the unit of millimeter, and the control means 7 outputs the print image of the whole of the document in an image buffer 2 and the whole of the form and the form frame, which are graduated by numerical values in the unit of millimeter, to a display means 8, and the blank graduated by numerical values in the unit of millimeter is displayed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document editing apparatus, and more particularly, to a document editing apparatus for displaying a blank portion of a created sentence, table, or figure in millimeter units.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Before printing a document created by a conventional (not shown) document editing apparatus, an image is displayed to confirm the layout in order to confirm the print result in advance.

However, the conventional document editing device only performs a rough layout function of the entire printing paper, and cannot know the size of the blank space at the end of the text or the margin at the end of the page. Even if I prepared a blank line for writing and pasting materials, I was not able to make an exact gap.

[0004]

As described above, the conventional document editing apparatus performs only the function of the rough layout of the entire printing paper, and knows the size of the blank space at the end of the text and the margin at the end of the page. Therefore, there is a problem that even if a blank line is prepared for writing by handwriting after printing or pasting a material, it is not possible to leave an accurate interval.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a document editing apparatus for displaying a print image in which the vertical and horizontal lengths of a blank portion are numerically scaled.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a document editing apparatus of the present invention comprises a document storage means for storing text data and graphic data, and text data stored in this document storage means. An image buffer for designating graphic data at an arbitrary position on the paper to be printed and storing it in the paper unit, display means for displaying the text data and graphic data stored in the image buffer, and the image buffer. The line spacing counting means for counting the line spacing and the character spacing of the stored text data and graphic data, the blank detection means for detecting the position of the blank portion from the counting result of the line spacing counting means, and the blank detection means. Numerical value counting means that counts the vertical and horizontal of the detected blank part with a numerical value in millimeters, and the vertical and horizontal of the above-mentioned paper frame and the entire paper with a numerical value in millimeters The frame counting means, the frame and the blank of the paper counted by the frame counting means are controlled to be displayed on the display means by a numerical value in millimeters, and the text data and the graphic data are displayed on the display means. And a control means for controlling the operation.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a document editing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document editing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is an image display example of the document editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a document editing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a document storage means 1 storing text data and graphic data, and text data and graphics stored in the document storage means 1. An image buffer 2 for storing data in a unit of paper by designating data at an arbitrary position on a sheet to be printed, a display means 8 for displaying the text data and graphic data stored in the image buffer 2, and an image buffer 2. The line spacing counting means 3 for counting the line spacing and the character spacing of the text data and the graphic data stored in, and the blank detection means 4 for detecting the position of the blank portion from the counting result of the line spacing counting means 3. Numerical value counting means 5 for counting the length and width of the blank portion detected by the blank space detecting means 4 with a numerical value in millimeter units, and the vertical and horizontal directions of the paper frame and the entire paper with numerical values in a millimeter unit. The frame counting unit 6 and the frame and blank of the paper counted by the frame counting unit 6 are controlled to be displayed on the display unit 8 by a numerical value in millimeters, and the text data and the graphic data are displayed on the display unit 8. And a control means 7 for controlling so.

Next, the operation of the document editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the operation of the document editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is such that a document is printed from the document storage means 1 in a format including a font of characters, a pitch, a margin and the like according to the format setting. Data and graphic data are expanded in the image buffer 2, and the text data and graphic data in the image buffer 2 are counted by the line spacing counting means 3 to count the number of lines of a sentence in one page and the line spacing and character spacing. The position of the blank portion consisting of several lines or letters is calculated by the blank detecting means, the length and width of this blank portion are calculated by the numerical counting means 5, and a numerical value in millimeters is sent to the control means 7.
The control means 7 controls so that this numerical value is displayed on the display means 8.

On the other hand, the frame counting means 6 counts the frame of the printing paper and the length and width of the entire paper by numerical values in millimeters, and the control means 7 controls the entire document in the image buffer 2 as shown in FIG. Display means 8 for displaying the print image and the entire paper and the paper frame graduated with numerical values in millimeters
, And the blanks graduated with millimeters are displayed at the same time, the size of any blank line or page end can be obtained.

[0014]

As described above, according to the document editing apparatus of the present invention, the number of lines of a sentence in one page, the space between these lines, and the space between characters are calculated, and a blank consisting of several lines is formed. Since the part is detected and the numerical scale and the print image are displayed at the same time, the size of the blank space and the margin at the end of the page can be detected, and the size of the blank part can be adjusted before printing to write by hand or paste the material. It has the effect of reliably providing a space to attach.
