Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an incomplete document from being printed and sent by displaying that there is an uninputted item in a fixed form on a display if the operation ends in said state. CONSTITUTION:Special codes are stored and added to required input items in the fixed form. At the time of indicating the end of work, such judgement is made whether all the registered items are inputted or not, and the necessary operation is made. When come into details, the special codes added to the required input items at the time of documentation in the fixed form are used, and the presence or absence of the special code part corresponding to the uninputted item is judged when a normal input work ends to indicate the termination. If the judgement shown that there is the special code corresponding to the uninputted input item, the effect is displayed on the display. Simultaneously a buzzer warns an operator independently. For the special codes, specific control codes, hardly used codes such as $, # and * or meshed codes are used.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a word processor configured to be suitable for writing specific items such as an address and date on a standard form. .

(Background of the Invention) Necessary information is often added to a standard form as a general word processor. However, due to a misunderstanding, a termination instruction may be given before all required information has been entered. Creating a document with such uninputted items causes some inconvenience.

[Prior art]

In conventional word processors, even if a document is created that has unfilled items, unless the operator or a third party notices it, the document is treated as a completed document and sent or circulated. If the error was noticed by checking after the work was completed, correction work or re-input work would be required, which would be troublesome.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention provides a word processor that can determine whether or not all the required input portions in a standard form have been input when creating a standard document, and notify the operator of the information, thereby eliminating waste during the standard document creation process. The purpose is to provide.

[Structure of the invention]

It is an object of the present invention to provide a word processor having the configuration described in the claims, that is, to provide a work completion instruction as to whether or not all special codes input into required input items in a fixed form have been replaced with required input characters. means for making a determination in accordance with the above, and notifying means for notifying an operator when it is determined by the means that not all of the special codes have been replaced;
This is accomplished by a word processor equipped with.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the word processor according to the present invention, if you try to terminate the process when there are uninputted items in the standard form, this will be displayed on the display, so that the word processor will remain as an incomplete document including the uninputted items. This will definitely avoid a situation where you end up printing, and then shipping. Therefore, it is possible to create a fixed form document reliably and quickly, and work efficiency is improved.

[Examples] Hereinafter, the present invention will be disclosed with reference to the accompanying drawings showing examples.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a standard form, and for example, the shaded (or underlined) portions in the pronunciation are the portions to be newly input by key operation. In this example, name, product name (2
location) and date are the parts that require new input. When completing a document by inputting data into a desired position on a standard form, for example, even if there is one or more uninputted areas, conventional devices simply end the process when the operator gives an instruction to end the document. It was common to do so.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a word processor according to the present invention, in which a printer 4 is connected via a keyboard 2 and a printer driver 3. Furthermore, bus line 5
Two types of storage devices ROM6 and RAM7 are connected via the CRT controller 8.
A T display device 9 is connected. Note that a VRAM10 is connected to the CRT controller 8. The busbar 5 is also provided with a connecting portion 12 for an external busbar.

In the word processor according to the present invention, the standard paper is input into a storage means such as a floppy disk in the form shown in FIG. 1. During this input, a special code is input into the shaded area in FIG. 1, where variable data should be input, to indicate that this is the required item input position. The special code is a special control code or $.

#5 Use a code that is not usually used, such as *, or a network code. Such standard forms are taken out as necessary and variable data such as addressee, product name, meeting name, date and time, location, etc. are input.

When creating a standard document, first, the required input items in the standard form are memorized with special codes as mentioned above, and when the work is instructed to complete, it is determined whether all registered items have been entered, and the necessary processing is performed. conduct.

This uses special codes attached to required input items when creating a standard document, and when the normal input work is completed and a termination instruction is given, it is possible to check whether there are special code parts corresponding to uninput items. to judge. Based on the determination result, if no special code indicating an uninput item remains, that is, if N (No), the process ends. If there is a special code corresponding to an uninput item, that is, Y
In the case of [Yes], that fact is displayed on the display, or the operator is alerted by a buzzer or the like simultaneously or independently.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the word processor according to the present invention when creating a standard document. Step S
In step 1, a standard form stored on a floppy disk or the like is read into the text area. Next, in step S2, it is determined whether an instruction to end the work has been given. If this determination is N, the item input work is continued in step S3. Next, in step S4, it is determined whether a character string has been input to the special code position.

If this judgment is N, return to Ste Nob S2 and repeat the above steps! Continuous. On the other hand, the determination in step S4 is Y.
In this case, the input character string and special code are replaced in step S5.

If the determination in step S2 is Y, it is determined in step S6 whether or not there are any unprocessed special codes remaining in the standard paper. If this judgment is Y, it is impossible to terminate the process as it is because the document has uninputted items, so a message is displayed on the buzzer or guidance on the display. Next, in step 8, it is determined whether or not the end key has been operated. If the determination is N, the cursor is moved to the special code position as in step S9. In other words, the item is moved to the position of the uninputted item, and the item is blinked or highlighted to call attention to the item.

If the judgment in step S6 is N, there is no longer a special code corresponding to the uninput item, so step SIO
End it like this. Note that in step S8, Y
In this case, that is, even if there are uninputted items, if the user wishes to terminate the process, the process is terminated as in Ste-knob S10.
