Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an automatic line feed part not shift in line feed position when the format is changed by inserting a line feed code at a position where a line is fed according to previously set format information in response to a specific indication or a change in format. SOLUTION: A central processing unit(CPU) 101 executes a program and a work, etc., is provided in a RAM 107. A 'process line' is a work for storing a line position of a document which is being processed and when an operator specifies a process range, the values of the range specification start line and range specification end line are stored in a 'start line' and an 'end line' respectively. Then it is judged whether there is a line feed code in the 'process line' and when not, the line feed code is inserted into the line end (found from the number of one-line characters of format information effective to the line) of the process line. Then when there is a space in front of the line feed code, spaces from a character data end position to the line feed code are deleted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus such as a word processor for inputting / editing a document and a medium recording a document processing program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a format is changed at the time of creating and editing a document, an automatic line feed portion (a portion where a line feed code does not exist) changes its line feed position. This is not a problem in a normal document, but there are cases where the user does not want to break the layout depending on the contents of the document and the situation at that time.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen display when a blank portion of a table is filled with a space without using a line feed. After block editing (function of editing in the ruled line frame), a space is inserted in the frame, but a line feed may not be inserted after the ruled line due to the relationship between the number of characters per line and the position of the ruled line. Also, beginners of word processors are not accustomed to creating such tables.

For example, when an address book as shown in FIG. 8 is to be created by newly adding a telephone number item to the address book created as shown in FIG. 4, first, an additional document can be input. It is necessary to change the format to increase the number of characters per line.

However, in such a case, if the number of one-line characters is to be increased, the layout is broken as shown in FIG. Therefore, before the format change, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7,
It is necessary to enter a line feed code in the automatic line feed part.

Similarly, when it is desired to create a multi-column document as shown in FIG. 11 using a document having 17 characters per line as shown in FIG. 9, first, the format is changed from the display state of FIG. However, it is necessary to input an additional document.
If the format is changed (adding the number of characters per line) while the display state of is displayed, the layout is broken. Therefore, FIG.
It is necessary to enter a line feed code in the automatic line feed part and then change the format.

[0007] As described above, conventionally, when the format is changed, the line feed position of the automatic line feed portion changes and the layout is collapsed. To prevent this, a line feed code is input to each line of the automatic line feed portion. Such a troublesome operation was required.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above problems, and the invention according to claim 1 outputs an input document based on set format information. In the document processing apparatus, a line feed code is inserted at a position where a line feed is performed based on preset format information in response to a specific instruction or a change in format.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a document processing apparatus for outputting an input document based on set format information.
A document processing apparatus that inserts a line feed code at a line feed position based on preset format information, and deletes space data from the last character data to the inserted line feed code.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a medium in which a document processing program for outputting an input document based on set format information is recorded in response to a specific instruction or a change in format. A document processing program for causing a line feed code to be inserted at a position where a line feed is performed based on the generated format information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited by this.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus employing the present invention. An apparatus adopting the present invention includes a central processing unit (CPU) 101 for executing a program and an input device 102 such as a keyboard, a pen, and a mouse for inputting characters and the like.
A display device 103 such as a CRT or a liquid crystal; an external storage device 104; a printing device 105 such as a printer; a ROM 106 for storing a document creation / editing program and fixed data; and a RAM 107 for storing various data. Consists of

Next, works used in the present invention will be described. These works are provided in the RAM 107.
[Sentence buffer] is a buffer area for storing character data, format information, and tab information input from the input device 102, [Start line] is a work for storing the processing start line position of the document data, and [End line]. ] Is a work for storing the line position at which the processing of the document data ends, and [processing line] is a work for storing the line position during the processing of the document.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a relationship between a display result and a document buffer when the present invention is executed. (A)
Changes the number of characters per line in the first and fifth lines.
Only the first line is a line break, and the other lines are automatically line-breaked documents. (B) and (c) are obtained by subjecting this document to the processing of the present invention. In the first line, a line feed code is inserted at the end of the line (after “O”). Since the line feed code originally exists in the second line, no new line feed code is inserted. The third and fourth lines have a space after the character, (b) shows the case where a line feed is inserted after the space, and (c) deletes the space between the line feed code and the end of the character data after the line feed ( This is the case where the spaces between “su” and “line feed code” and between “tsu” and “line feed code” have been deleted). In the fifth and sixth lines, a line feed code is inserted at the end of the line (after “nu”, after “fu”).

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the operation of the present invention. First, [Start row]
Is stored in the [end line] (S501).
Next, it is determined whether or not the range has been designated (S50).
2). When the operator specifies the processing range, the value of the range specification start line is stored in [Start Line], and the value of the range specification end line is stored in [End Line] (S503). If the processing range is not specified, the processing of S503 is not performed.

Then, the value of [starting line] is stored in [processing line] (S504), and the processing of the present invention is performed. First,
It is determined whether there is a line feed code in [processing line] (S50).
5) If not, a line feed code is inserted at the end of the line of [processing line] (determined from the number of characters per line of valid format information for the line) (S506). If there is a line feed code, the processing of the present invention is not performed. Next, it is determined whether a space exists before the line feed code (S507). If there is, a process of deleting the space from the character data end position to the line feed code is performed (S508). If not, the process of S508 is not performed. This completes a series of operations for the first row.

Next, it is determined whether or not the [processing row] and the [ending row] match. If they do not match, the [processing row]
Is incremented (S510), and S5 is executed for the next line.
The same processing from 05 is performed. If [processing line] and [end line] match, the process ends.

The series of processing according to the present invention may be performed by a key operation of an operator as a specific function, or may be performed simultaneously when a format is changed.

[0019]

According to the present invention, a document processing apparatus for outputting an input document based on set format information in response to a specific instruction or a change in format is provided. By inserting a line feed code at a line feed position based on the preset format information, automatic line feed (line feed based on format information) is converted to forced line feed (line feed with line feed code). The accompanying layout disorder is prevented, and the manual operation of inserting a line feed by the operator is eliminated, thereby improving operability.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in a document processing apparatus for outputting an input document based on set format information, a format information set in advance is set in response to a specific instruction or a change in format. A line feed code is inserted at the position where the line feed is performed based on the line feed code, and the space data from the last character data to the inserted line feed code is deleted. (Line feed) to prevent layout disturbances due to subsequent format changes, eliminate the need for the operator to insert line feeds, improve operability, and save unnecessary space between character data and line feeds. Can be automatically deleted, further improving the operability and effectively using the document buffer by reducing the amount of data. .

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a medium in which a document processing program for outputting an input document based on the set format information is recorded, in response to a specific instruction or a change in the format, is set in advance. Since a document processing program that inserts a line feed code at a line feed position based on the formatted information is recorded on the medium,
Automatic line breaks (line breaks based on format information) are converted to forced line breaks (line breaks based on line break codes). improves.
