Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily execute operation for pasting a required end of a paragraph character string into a document of another document format which does not have the end of a paragraph format. SOLUTION: When a required character string in document data is specified, the specified character string is temporarily stored (step S1), the end of a paragraph format information of the temporarily stored character string is discriminated (step S2), a required position in the document data is specified (step S3), and document format information on the specified position is discriminated (step S4). Then consistency between the discriminated document format information and the end of a paragraph format information is checked, the paragraph format information is corrected based on the checked result (step S7) and the temporarily stored character string is pasted on the specified position based on the corrected end of a paragraph format information (step S8).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus and method for processing character string data, and a storage medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, when a desired character string in a document is copied and pasted to another location, a paste buffer for temporarily storing the character string is used, and a paragraph in the paste buffer is used. When the format (major heading, minor heading, etc.) was not in the paste destination document format (character size, character pitch, etc.), one of the following processes was performed. (1) Paste in the default paragraph format. (2) Create and paste the paste paragraph format as it is in the paste destination document format.

[0003]

However, in the above conventional example, there are the following disadvantages when performing the paste processing when the paragraph format in the paste buffer is not in the document format of the paste destination. (1) First, in the case of pasting in the default paragraph format, the attributes were completely different from those of the pasting paragraph format. Also, in order for the paste source and the paste destination to have the same paragraph format, the user must create the same paragraph format in the paste destination document format and set it to the pasted character string. I had to spend time. (2) Also, when the paste paragraph format is created and pasted as it is in the paste destination document format, there is a case where there is no consistency between the paste destination document format and the pasted paragraph format. Characters are displayed overlapping as shown in Fig. 9 (a) and Fig. 9 (a). In addition, the data may not be correctly pasted, which may not satisfy the user's request, and may cause incorrect data.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of this embodiment.

First, the character string to be pasted by the user is P
When a range is designated using D15 or the like, a character string stored in the paste buffer in the RAM 18 is obtained in step S1. This step S1 is executed by the paste buffer character string acquisition processing unit 1. Next, in step S2, paragraph format information of the character string obtained in step S1 is obtained. This step S2 is executed by the paste buffer paragraph format information acquisition processing section 2. Next, in step S3,
The paste position in the document data specified by the user using the keyboard 14 or the input device of the PD 15 is acquired. This step S3 is executed by the paste position acquisition processing section 4. Next, in step S4, the document format information of the paste position obtained in step S3 is obtained from the document data holding unit 9. This step S4 is performed by the paste destination document format information acquisition processing unit 5
Executed in

Then, in step S5, step S2
It is determined whether the paragraph format already exists in the paste buffer acquired in step S4 in the document format of the paste destination document acquired in step S4. If it already exists, proceed to step S8; if it does not exist, step S6
Proceed to. This step S5 is executed by the paste paragraph format check processing section 6. In step S6, a paragraph format stored in the paste paragraph format information storage unit 3 is created in the document format of the paste destination. In step S7,
Check and correct the consistency of the paragraph format created in step S6 for the paste destination document format. These steps
Steps S6 and S7 are executed by the paste paragraph format creation / correction processing unit 7.

Finally, in step S8, a paste buffer character string is pasted at the paste position. This step S8 is executed by the paste processing section 8.

FIG. 4A shows a part of the attributes of the document format, and FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram exemplifying a part of an attribute of a paragraph format. Also figure
5 is a diagram showing an example of a document having the format shown in FIG.

FIG. 6A shows an example of a paste buffer and a paste position. When the paste buffer obtained from PB1 in FIG. 6A is pasted to IP1 in FIG. 6B, the paragraph format information obtained in step S2 is the “title” paragraph format in the document format A. In step S4,
The document format B, which is the document format at the paste position IP1, is obtained. Therefore, in this case, in step S5,
Since there is no “title” paragraph format in the document format B as shown in 4 (a), the process is passed to step S6.

When the paste buffer PB1 is pasted into IP1, a "title" paragraph format is created in the document format B in step S6. Then, in step S7, consistency with the document format B is checked.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of items to be checked in step S7. In this case, check item C in FIG.
The character size is adjusted by K1 so that four or more characters are included in one line. Since the column width of the document format B is 100 mm, the character size must be at most 25 mm in order to enter four or more characters. Therefore, the result document format checked
Character size of "Title" paragraph format of B is 36mm to 25mm
It is adjusted to. FIG. 8 (b) shows the paste result in step S8 in this case.

When PB2 is obtained as a paste buffer in FIG. 6A and pasted to IP2 in FIG. 6B, the paragraph format information obtained in step S2 is the “medium heading” paragraph in the document format A. Format. In step S4, a document format B which is a document format at the paste position IP1 is obtained. Therefore, in this case, in step S5, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the document format B does not include the “middle heading” paragraph format, so the process is passed to step S6. In step S6, a "medium heading" paragraph format is created in document format B, and step S7
Then, the consistency with the document format B is checked. In this case, the check item CK2 in FIG. 7 is adjusted so that the characters are included in the width of two lines. Since the standard line pitch of the document format B is 10 mm according to FIG. 4 (a), the character size must be a maximum of 20 mm in the case of the “middle heading” paragraph format with two lines. Therefore, as a result of the check, the character size of the “medium headline” paragraph format of the document format B is adjusted from 24 mm to 20 mm. Therefore, the paste result in step S7 is shown in FIG.
(b).

When PB3 is obtained as a paste buffer in FIG. 6A and pasted to IP3 in FIG. 6B, the paragraph format information obtained in step S2 is the “bulleted” paragraph in the document format A. Format. In step S4, a document format B which is a document format at the paste position IP3 is obtained. Therefore, in step S5, as shown in FIG.
Since the “bulleted” paragraph format also exists in B, the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, paste processing is executed based on the “bulleted” paragraph format already existing in document format B. FIG. 10 shows the result.

[0030]

As described above, according to the present invention, a desired paragraph character string can be converted into a paragraph format having consistency in a document in another document format. It has the effect of being able to paste.
