A hard disk 15, a memory card, a magneto-optical disk, or the like can be employed.

FIG. 2 is an external view of the document editing apparatus having the above configuration. In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a system bus 1,
The main body includes the CPU 2, the PMEM 3, the IMEM 4, and the like.

A CRT 13, a keyboard 9, and a pointing device 10 are connected to the main body 20. The main body 20 is provided with a floppy disk (FD) drive 21 for a floppy disk 22.
The D drive 21 writes and reads image data, graphic data, character data, and numerical data to and from the floppy disk 22.

It should be noted that the present invention is of course realized in the document editing apparatus in which the word processing software program is recorded on the hard disk 15 as described above, but the recording medium in which the program capable of realizing the present invention is recorded is stored in another medium. The present invention is also realized when the program is supplied to a system or a document editing apparatus, and the computer of the system or the apparatus reads out and executes the program code recorded on the recording medium. For example, the floppy disk 22 on which the word processing software program is recorded is set in the FD drive 21 of another document editing apparatus, the program is loaded on the hard disk 15, and the loaded program is executed. As described above, by using the recording medium on which the program capable of realizing the functions of the present invention is recorded, the present invention can be applied to a document editing apparatus having a configuration other than the configuration described in FIG. 1 or FIG. It becomes possible.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a page number setting processing procedure according to this embodiment.

First, a document data file to be edited is selected from the hard disk 15 and read into the PMEM 3, and the data of the first page is stored in the VRAM 11.
And displayed on the CRT 13 (step S
1). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the data shown in FIG. 8A is displayed on the CRT 13 as data of the first page.

Then, an instruction for designating the attached page number setting method is inputted from the keyboard 9 by the operator (step S2). Then, an attached page number setting method designation window shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the CRT 13, and the attached page number setting method is designated by the operator on this window (step S3). Here, the attached page number setting method is composed of a segment symbol and an attached page number type, and the segment symbol is a symbol such as "hyphen (-)" or "colon (;)" arranged between characters. Yes, the attached page number type is a character type indicating the page number of the inserted page, which is arranged after the division symbol. FIG.
It is a figure which shows the difference of the page number setting by the combination of these division | symbols and an attached page number type. For example, "Hyphen" and "Numeric"
Is designated, the page numbers of the inserted pages are displayed as “1-1”, “1-2”... As shown in FIG.

When "hyphen" and "alphabet" are designated as the division symbol and the attached page number type, as shown in FIG. 5B, the page numbers of the inserted pages are "1-a" and "1-a". b ”... are displayed. "Colon" and "Numeric"
Is specified, the page numbers of the inserted pages are displayed as "1;1","1;2",... As shown in FIG. Further, when “colon” and “numeric” are designated as the division symbol and the attached page number type, the page numbers of the inserted pages are “1; a” and “1;
b ”... are displayed. In the present embodiment, “colon” is designated from two types of “Hyphen (−)” and “colon (;)” as a division symbol, and “Colon” is designated from “Numeric” and “Alphabet” as an attached page number type. It is assumed that "number" is specified.

After the specification of the attached page number setting method is completed,
When an instruction to display the second page of the document is input from the keyboard 9 by the operator, the data of the next page of the currently displayed document data is extracted from the PMEM 3, and the VRA
The image is developed on M11 and displayed on the CRT 13 (step S4).

Here, insertion of a new page is performed by the keyboard 9.
Is determined by the operator (step S5), and if the answer is negative (NO), step S4 is performed.
And step S5 are repeated.

If it is determined in step S5 that a new page is to be inserted, the document data file read on the PMEM 3 is edited so that a blank page is inserted before the currently displayed page. The document data file is changed (Step S6).

Then, according to the method specified in step S3, the page number set for the blank page inserted in step S6 is set, and the page numbers of the pages subsequent to the inserted blank page are not changed. PME
The document data file read on M3 is changed (step S7). When the change of the document data file ends, this procedure ends.

FIG. 6 shows the state of the inserted page obtained as a result of changing the document data file by this procedure. That is,
When a new page is inserted between the first page and the second page, the inserted blank page number field 37 contains <hyphen "-", number of pages, hyphen "-"> in a normal page. 5 in the “number of pages” position of FIG.
The page number is displayed in the format shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows PMEM3 used in the above procedure.
6 is a memory map showing an example of the data arrangement of FIG. In the figure, 51 is an area occupied by the operating system, 52 is an area occupied by the word processing software program, and 53 is used as a working area when the word processing software program stored in the area 52 is executed. A data area 54 is an unused memory area.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, a new page can be inserted without changing the page numbers of pages subsequent to the insertion page. Therefore,
As in the related art, it is possible to eliminate the trouble such as reprinting all pages after the newly inserted page.

In addition, since the number before the division symbol in the page number of the inserted page is based on the page number of the page before the insertion position, it is easy to recognize where the newly inserted page has been inserted. can do.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the document data file is already registered in the hard disk 15 or the like, but it may be newly created document data.

In the present embodiment, a blank page, which is a new page, is inserted before the page currently displayed on the CRT 13, but is inserted after the displayed page. Alternatively, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the insertion location can be designated by a numerical value in a predetermined window display or the like regardless of the displayed page.

[0041]

As described above, according to the document editing method of the document editing apparatus of the first aspect or the document editing apparatus of the third aspect, when a new page is inserted between arbitrary pages of the document, Since the method of setting the page number of the inserted page is specified and the page number is displayed on the inserted page according to the specified setting method, the page numbers of the pages after the inserted page are not changed. The effect that a new page can be inserted is obtained.

According to the document editing method of the document editing apparatus of the second aspect or the document editing apparatus of the fourth aspect, the specified method is such that a predetermined division symbol and a predetermined symbol are added to the page number of the previous page of the inserted page. Since the page number of the inserted page is set by combining predetermined characters, it is possible to easily recognize where the page is inserted in the document.

According to the recording medium of the fifth aspect or the recording medium of the sixth aspect, a page insertion function for inserting a new page between arbitrary pages of a document and a method for setting a page number of the inserted page are provided. By recording a computer program including a setting method designating function to be specified and a new page number display function of displaying a page number on a page inserted according to the specified setting method in a computer-readable format, Even in a general-purpose computer having no special function, it is possible to insert a new page without changing the page numbers of pages subsequent to the insertion page.
