Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify operation by displaying a blank row in an insertion indicating line on the basis of an one-row insertion indication row while continuing indent marks or a table frame. CONSTITUTION:A document editing device consists of a keyboard 1, a control part 2, a text memory 3, a video RAM4, and a CRT display 5 and the keyboard 1 includes an one-row insertion indicating means constituted of a cursor key 6 and an one-character insertion key 7. When one-row insertion is indicated in a block divided by a table or an indent mark, the contents following the insertion indicated row is shifted down by one row and displayed and indent marks or vertical ruled lines are displayed on the insertion indicating row so as to be continued in the column direction. Namely, a blank row is displayed on the insertion indicating row while continuing the indent marks or the table frame.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a device capable of editing documents, such as a Japanese word processor, and particularly relates to a single line insertion function.

(b) Prior Art As disclosed in the operation manual of the Sanyo word processor Jiki 5WP-1100, the conventional document editing device has a single line insertion function. In other words, if you place the cursor on the left margin of the position where you want to insert a line on the display screen and press the 1 character insert key, a blank line will be inserted in the line where the cursor is placed, and the contents after the line where the cursor is placed will be displayed. Only one line will be displayed.

In addition, in the word processor mentioned above, in order to realize block editing, it is possible to display indent marks on the screen to indicate the boundaries, and furthermore, the cursor keys can be used to edit vertically, horizontally,
You can freely draw ruled lines and create the table you want.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention In conventional devices, within a table frame consisting of continuous ruled lines or within a block separated by multiple indent marks,
When you execute the insert one line function, a blank line is inserted in the insertion instruction line, just as when the document is displayed, so tables and blocks are cut off, as shown in Figure 7. Then, I had to use the cursor keys and indent keys to connect ruled lines and indent marks, which was a tedious task.

(D) Means for Solving Problems The present invention responds to an instruction from a single line insertion instruction means to convert data in each column in the text memory corresponding to the insertion instruction line into indent data or ruled line data. If it is ruled line data, a search means is provided to determine the direction component of the ruled line, and depending on the search means, indent data or vertical ruled line data is displayed in the insertion instruction line. It is something.

(*) Effect In this invention, when you instruct to insert one row in a table or a block delimited by indentation marks, the contents after the insertion instruction line are displayed one line lower, and the insertion instruction row is displayed in the column direction. Indent marks or vertical ruled lines are displayed continuously. That is, a blank line is displayed in the insertion instruction line while the indent mark or table frame remains continuous.

(F) Embodiment As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention includes a keyboard (1), a control section (2), a text memory (3), a video RAM (4), and a CRT display. (
The keyboard (1) consists of cursor keys (6).
) and a character insertion key (7).

The text memory (3) is a memory that stores documents input from the keyboard, and each data consists of an attribute ATT and a character code FCC, as shown in FIG. Ruled line codes, margin codes, etc. are stored. and,
In the case of a ruled line code, as shown in FIG. 3(b), a ruled line direction component bit N indicates each of the upper, lower, left, and right components of the ruled line pattern.

S, E, and W are stored in the character code section.

Note that the ruled line direction component bit N5EW is disclosed in detail in the earlier filed Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-4116.9.

The specific operation will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

For example, as shown in Figure 4 (a), table (8)
1st to 7th lines of display screen (9) of display (5)
Suppose that with the first line displayed, the cursor (10) is placed on the left margin of the fourth line and the character insertion key (7) is pressed. Then, first, in the text memory (3), all data after the insertion instruction line indicated by the cursor (10) are moved down by one line. At this point,
The original data remains in the insertion instruction line. Next, the data in each column of the insertion instruction row of the text memory (3) is read out, and a search is made to see if the data is indented data or ruled line data. This is done by checking the attribute section of each data. When the data is indented data, the data contents of that column of the inserted line in the text memory (3) are retained.

Also, if it is ruled line data, the ruled line direction component bit N5
It is determined whether or not there is an upper component N of EW, and if it exists, N
5EW is '1100. Vertical ruled line data is written. Then, if the data in the searched column is character or symbol data and is not indent data or ruled line data having an upward component, a space code is written in that column as in the past.

Therefore, in the example of FIG. 4(a), the first . Fifth. The 9th column is the ruled line data of "N5EW with upper component N is rlloo", so as shown in FIG.
On the 8th line, the contents that were displayed in the 4th to 7th lines of Figure 4 are moved down and displayed, and the 4th line, where insertion was instructed, contains the previous and next lines. Vertical ruled lines connecting the ruled lines are displayed in the 1st, 5th, and 9th columns, and blanks are displayed in the other columns.

In other words, in table (8), a blank row can be inserted into the row for which insertion is instructed while the table frame remains continuous.

As shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), in the case of indent marks, one blank line can be inserted while the indent marks remain continuous.

In the flowchart of FIG. 1, C is a variable indicating a column.

Figure 5 shows another example of inserting one line in ruled line display.
The direction component N5EW of the ruled line (11) in the row is '1010.
Therefore, it is vertically ruled! ! (12) is displayed, and in Fig. 5 (b), the ruled line (13) (
7) Since the direction component N5EW is "rollo", a space (14) is displayed.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, when one line is instructed to be inserted in a block separated by a table or an indent mark, a blank line is inserted in the specified line while the table frame or indent mark remains continuous. Since one line is inserted, the complicated operations required in the past are unnecessary, making it very convenient.
