[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus such as a word processor or a DTP (Desk Top Publishing) apparatus having a document editing function, and a recording medium.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a word processing device, a DTP (desktop publishing) device, a personal computer, and other document creation devices having a document editing function have a variety of typefaces and are capable of various expressions on a document. Anyone can use various typefaces, and it has become possible to easily create beautiful documents, letters, postcards, posters, advertisements, and the like.

However, the typeface that can be used is one of the
In recent years, most of the devices can use 100 or more fonts, compared to a few fonts.
For this reason, I want to emphasize only a certain character string when creating a document or the like myself, but it is easier for users to understand which typeface is better to use and that the name of the typeface and the design image do not match. Improvement is desired so that it can be realized by operation.

[0004]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional word processor, a DTP device, or the like, when editing a document, when it is desired to emphasize a specific sentence in the document, a typeface before and after the specific sentence (for example,
(Mincho style) and a method of changing to a different font size (for example, Gothic style) and a different font size are adopted. In this case, after specifying a specific text as the range to be changed, and specifying the function of changing the font (or character size), a list of selectable font names or numbers determined according to the font names will be displayed. Is displayed, and the operator selects a desired font name or number from the menu using the mouse and keyboard. When this selection is completed, a font name or a number corresponding to the font is set for the data of a specific text, and depending on the device, the data is displayed on the display device in the set font (size).

[0005]

In the above-mentioned conventional method, a user must remember a type number, a type name, and a design image unique to the apparatus, or use a type sample book. If the user does not match the image intended by the user after the font conversion (for example, the user wants to emphasize a part of the character string but is less conspicuous than the previous and subsequent fonts), the user must change the font again.

The present invention solves these problems and, when a user wants to change to a typeface emphasizing an arbitrary part of the text in the document, can easily create a document in the typeface intended by the user. It is intended to provide a device.
