Next, by pressing a key on the keyboard 1, the key data capturing means 2 captures the key data corresponding to the key, and the function determining means 3 determines the type of key data. As a result of this determination, if the end key is pressed, the process moves from Y in step 23 to step 44, and the operation ends. If the print key is pressed, the process moves from Y in step 24 to print setting in step 38, and the printing operation up to step 43 is performed. If the screen switching key is still pressed, the process moves from Y in step 25 to layout screen display setting in step 32, and the layout changing operation is performed up to step 37. Incidentally, if none of the end key of the stepper 23, the print key in step 24, or the screen switching key in step 25 is pressed, the process moves to the input editing screen display setting in step N1 and the input editing operation is performed up to step 31.

If the screen switching key is pressed, the process moves from Y in step 25 to layout screen display setting in step 32. Here, the function determining means 3 switches the cursor position switching means 6 and the display switching means 7 to the layout screen display side (step 33). As a result, the data in the document memory 9 is converted into layout characters by the document layout screen display means 11, and is further converted into layout characters by the layout cursor position change storage means 4 and the cursor display means 12 on the display device 1.
3, a document layout screen and a cursor are displayed (step 34). Then, by pressing the cursor movement key on the keyboard 1 while looking at the display device 13, the key data importing means 22 and the function determining means 3 are entered to change the cursor position in the layout cursor position change storage means 4 (step 35). , is displayed on the display device 13 by the cursor display means 12. By inputting a position indication mark from the keyboard 1, the data is transmitted by the key data importing means 21 and the function determination means 3 to the input editing means 8, and the position of the position indication mark is stored in the position indication mark position storage means 18. . Input editing means 8
writes data to the position in the document memory 9 indicated by the layout cursor position change storage means 4 (step 37).

In order to switch from the layout display screen to the input editing screen, a screen switching key is input from the keyboard 1, the key data corresponding to the key is imported by the key data importing means 2, and the cursor position switching means 6 is input by the function determining means 3. Then, the display switching means 7 is switched to the input editing screen display side (step 26). As a result, the data in the document memory 9 is converted into characters by the input/edit screen display means 10, and further, the input/edit cursor position change storage means 5 and the cursor display means 1
2, an input editing screen and a cursor are displayed on the display device 13 (step 27).

Since the document memory 9 is shared, if a position indication mark input on the layout screen is included in the input editing screen, it is displayed on the display device 13 from the position indication mark position storage means 18 via the cursor display means 12. Ru. Then, by pressing the cursor movement key on the keyboard 1 at the position where the position indication mark is displayed while looking at the display device 13, the input edit cursor position change storage means The cursor position of 5 is changed and the cursor display means 12
displayed on the digital display device 13 (step 28).
). By inputting characters from the keyboard 1, the key data importing means 21 transmits the data to the input editing means 8 through the function determining means 3 (step 30). The input editing means 8 writes the data to the position of the document memory 9 indicated by the input editing cursor position change storage means 5 (step 3).
1) o The data is displayed by the input editing screen display means 10,
A confirmation message is displayed on the display device 13.

Thereafter, the operation is repeated (step 29).

After creating a document, by inputting a print key from the keyboard 1 in order to print it (step 24), the key data is transmitted to the print character importing means 14 via the function determining means 3 of the key data importing means 22 (steps 38 and 39). ), the printed character importing means 14 imports data from the document memory 9 (step 40).

The print character selection means 15 compares and determines the captured data and the position indication mark data (step 41), and if they do not match, transmits the data to the document printing means 16. If it is a position indication mark, the process returns to step 39 and the printing position is changed without printing. The document printing means 16 changes the data into characters, and the printing device 17 prints the data (
Step 42), and the work is finished (Step 43).

As described above, according to the above embodiment, a position indication mark is input in advance at the input position on the document layout screen, the screen is switched to the input editing screen, and characters are input using the position indication mark as a reference. By excluding the mark from being printed, printing can be performed without worrying about the position indication mark. Furthermore, by providing a means for storing the address of the position indication mark written in the document memory, it is possible to move the cursor to the position of the next position indication mark or erase the position indication mark at once. . Furthermore, by adding a position indication mark and registering it in a non-volatile memory, it can be used as a mark to indicate that document creation/editing is in progress.

As a result, this embodiment has the effect of significantly improving the operability of document creation and editing.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the embodiments described above, the present invention is configured such that the cursor position change storage means and the position indication mark position storage means operate on both the input editing screen and the layout screen. By making it easy to determine the correspondence between the layout screen and the layout screen, it is possible to reduce the number of screen changes and improve the operability of document input and editing operations.
