When it is not the first page, it is investigated whether the page is an odd number or an even number, and the odd number page is displayed at the window of the right side and the even number page is displayed at the window of the left side with distinction.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Use in LM Business The present invention relates to a document processing device that creates a document file while displaying input characters, symbols, etc.

Summary of Disclosure" This specification and drawings describe a document processing device that creates document files while displaying input characters, symbols, etc., and a display section that displays files such as documents divided into pages and a predetermined display. To provide a document processing device that facilitates document rA collection work by displaying at least two consecutive pages in a printed/stitched state on one screen.

L PRIOR TECHNOLOGY When editing a printout of a file created on a workstation or the like using linking, for example, as shown in Figure 2, two pages are printed, one on the left and one on the right.
There are cases where m collections of prints are collected in such a format that it is possible to view multiple prints at the same time. However, it is extremely inconvenient if the book is bound in such a way that when reading a book that is bound on both sides, one has to turn over the previous or next page each time. However, in the conventional method, the portion displayed on the display screen (hereinafter referred to as window) was just one page, as shown in Figure 3 (for convenience, this display mode is referred to as mode ``A''). However, there was a drawback in that it was impossible to know the position of the displayed page after editing (for example, whether it was a left page or a right page) until it was actually printed and bound.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, and it is possible to determine the relationship between one consecutive page and the expected print position at a glance when creating or editing the contents of a file. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing device that facilitates document processing by making it easy to process and understand documents.

As a means for achieving the above-mentioned problem, for example, the document processing apparatus of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a memory 100 for storing documents divided into pages, A print position determining means 101 outputs print position display information 103 indicating at which print position the print position is printed, and print position display information 103 indicated by the print position determining means 101 and the contents of a plurality of pages in the memory 100 are output. and a display means 102 for displaying information.

L effect J Under the above configuration, the print position determining means 101 displays print position display information such that, for example, a page printed on the right side is displayed on the right side of the display screen, and a page printed on the left side is displayed on the left side of the display screen. Make it.

As another display mode, a page printed on the right side is further displayed with an indication indicating the right side, and a page printed on the left side is further displayed with an indication indicating the left side.

"Example" Hereinafter, detailed explanations of the embodiments will be given according to the decorative drawings.

FIG. 4(a) is a block diagram of a document processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a keyboard 2 is used for inputting characters, symbols, etc., and other input means include a keyboard device such as a mouse 5. CRT8
displays the data in the CRT memory 7. The CRT memory 7 contains data in one-to-one correspondence with the CRT 8. The file memory 9 is a memory that stores created document files. The CPU 3 is a central processing unit that controls the entire embodiment, and the control is carried out by the program memory 4.
This is done in accordance with the control procedure as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 6(a) to 6(b) stored in .

In addition to the conventional keys, the keyboard 2 includes a -left binding'' primary key 0 as shown in FIG. This serves as an opportunity for the relevant function to be executed. Page key 21 in FIG. 5(b)
This is also present in conventional document processing devices, and is used to prompt the display of the number of pages added on CH3S. The format information memory 6 has the following three pieces of information, and its configuration is shown in FIG. 4Cb).

PAGE l 2: Page number of the part currently displayed in the window.

DISP-MAX13: Maximum number of characters that can be displayed on one page.

PAGEMAXI 4: Total number of pages in the file - left binding" Flag 15: This flag is 1" if the file is laid out in a two-page spread format, for example, with odd pages printed on the right and even pages printed on the left. Indicates that

! The control operation of the embodiment will be explained according to the flowcharts in FIGS. The flowcharts in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) are based on the assumption that the pages are bound in a left-right spread as shown in FIG. 2, with odd-numbered pages on the right side and even-numbered pages on the left side. However, whether or not odd-numbered (even-numbered) pages are on the right (left) is a completely arbitrary printing order issue, so Figures 6 (a) to (b)
) is just an example.

First, in step 1, it is checked whether the operator has selected an editing operation. The editing operation is selected by pressing the desired key on the keyboard 2. If no editing operation has been selected, other processing is performed in step S2.

If the editing operation has been selected, the process advances to step S4 and the input key is checked. If the page key 21 is pressed, the flow advances to step S6, where the operator inputs a page number. The input number is stored in PAGE 12 in the format information memory 6. Next, in step S12, it is checked whether the left binding flag 15 is 1. Since the left binding key 20 has not been pressed, the flow advances to step S14. PAG in step S14
The display data specified by the contents of E12 is transferred from the file memory 9 to the CRT memory 7, and displayed in the mode "A" (Fig. 3) in step 316.The flow returns to step S4 again, and the display data is transferred to the CRT memory 7 from the file memory 9 to the CRT memory 7. ” While viewing the display, the operator makes corrections, changes, etc. on the screen in step S8.

This is an operation that is also prior art.

Now, if the one left binding key 20 is pressed in step S4, the process advances to step 310, where -left binding' is pressed.

Invert flag 15. If this key is pressed for the first time, this flag changes from O''' to -1''. Pressing this key again means changing from ``1'' to ``o''.

When the page key 21 is pressed in step S4 after the left binding pad flag 15 becomes "°1", steps S4→S6
→ S12 → S18. In step 318, in order to check whether the page to be displayed is the first page, it is checked whether the content of PAGE 12 is °゛l'''. If PAGE = ``l''', step
The display data pointed to by PAGE12 at 0 is shown in Figure 7.
Transferred to CRT memory 7, and set to mode °°B in step S22.
'' to display 3. In mode "B", as shown in FIG. 7, a blank is displayed in the divided left window and the contents of the first page are displayed in the right window.

If the content of PAGE 12 is not 1'' in step 318, the process advances to step S24 to check whether the content of PAGE 12 is an odd number.This means that odd pages are displayed in the right window and even pages are displayed in the left window. This is to do so.

If it is an odd page, proceed to step 32B;
The display data pointed to by PAGE 12 and the previous page (PAGE
-1) display data and the file memory 9
..., arranged as shown in Fig. 8, transferred to the CRT memory 7, and at step 828 the mode °'C'' (Fig. $8)
Display in . In mode "'C", the contents of the page are displayed on the right side, and the previous page is displayed on the left side. In other words, after printing and binding, the two-page spread will appear as it is on the display screen. This display state can be used, for example, when there is a graph on the right page.

You can easily check whether there is an explanation of the graph on the left page. If not, by moving only that graph to the next page using the operation in step S8, you can view the graph and its explanation at the same time in a double-page spread after printing and binding.

Step S30 is to check whether the designated page is the final page, and if it is not the final page, steps 536 and 5
In step S38, the designated page (even numbered page) is displayed on the left and the next page is displayed on the right (mode "D" in FIG. 9).--If the designated page is the last page, step S32.
In S34, the final even-numbered page is displayed on the left side and the right side is displayed in a blank state (mode "'E" in FIG. 10).

In this way, according to the above embodiment, two consecutive pages in a double-page spread are displayed on one screen at the same time, so that the document can be edited to make it as easy to read as possible after printing. fruit is possible.

Furthermore, in addition to the above embodiments, when binding the upper side as shown in Fig. 11, by displaying the upper page and the lower page simultaneously on the CRT as shown in Fig. 51813 and Fig. '14,
It is also possible to obtain the same effects as in the above embodiment.

In the above two embodiments, the display of the previous or subsequent page displayed together with the display of the specified page was explained as being about the width of the display of the page, but horizontal scrolling, vertical scrolling 4I! You can also use the function to change its display position on the previous or next page.

In addition, the display capacity can be increased to more than 2 pages, for example, 3 pages.
If you display pages for each page, you will be able to see at a glance the passages of sentences dispersed among the three pages, making it even easier to read the sentences.However, in this case, the display screen for each page will be It will also be displayed below whether the page will be printed on the left or right side.

As explained above, by simultaneously displaying adjacent pages in addition to the page specified in the window, you can determine the position of the displayed page after printing and binding as shown in Figure 2 or Figure 11. This makes it possible to determine at a glance whether the file corresponds to the file name while creating the file. This is especially useful when a double-sided printer is used as the printer, since it is quite possible to perform editing as in the above example.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to simultaneously view printed positions of consecutive pages on one screen, making document creation and editing extremely easy.
