Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device, and particularly to a format conversion routine for changing the arrangement of character strings.

[Conventional technology]

The mainstream of conventional document creation equipment fil is horizontal editing, but books that can be edited vertically are also known.

Conventional devices of this type include those shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG. 3 shows an example of horizontal editing on a display screen of a conventional document creation device, in which input characters are displayed from left to right and from top to bottom. In FIG. 3, the Fi cursor (10) indicates the character input position and automatically moves to the next position as the character is input. In addition to this, the operator can also move the cursor to any position 11 on the display screen and write characters from there. Furthermore, even when performing horizontal editing as shown in Fig. 3, by switching the editing program routine of the document creation device as shown in Fig. 5, when printing characters, Fif! There is a device that can write a single character. On the other hand, when creating a vertically written document as shown in Figure 4, there are some document creation devices that automatically switch the display screen to vertical writing, so that the characters are continuous from top to bottom and from right to left. will be displayed. In Figure 4 (
10) is the cursor position.

In this way, conventional document creation devices create horizontally or vertically written documents.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional document creation devices such as those described above are configured on the assumption that the entire document to be created is either horizontal or vertical writing. To create this, K changes the arrangement of the string and re-enters it one character at a time only when he wants to omit that part, and when he finishes writing that part, he has to rearrange the arrangement of the string and write it again. In addition, there were other problems, such as the difficulty of editing documents created in this way.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and provides a document creation device that can change the arrangement of character strings in a document partially or as a whole into a horizontal or vertical editing mode. The purpose is to obtain.

[Means for solving problems]

A document creation device according to the present invention divides a document creation area, that is, a display area on a display device and a corresponding printing area on a printing device, into a plurality of areas, and sets each area to an editing mode of vertical writing or horizontal writing. This setting is made so that the editing mode of the area where the cursor is currently located is automatically selected, and character input and character string editing are executed in that editing mode.

[Effect]

In this invention, when the cursor is moved, the editing mode is automatically determined based on the position, and after selecting the editing function corresponding to the editing mode, editing suitable for the area is performed.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document creation device according to the present invention, in which 111 is an edit mode setting program routine, (2) is a cursor control program routine, and 1
31 is a character input program routine, (4) is an automatic editing mode determination program routine, (5) is a vertical writing editing program routine, (6) is a horizontal writing editing program routine, (7) is a character string extraction and storage program routine, (8) is a character display program routine, and (91 is a document buffer memory).

Next, the operation of this invention will be explained. If the editing mode is set to vertical writing in a certain editing area in the incitement mode setting program routine (1), and the cursor is moved to this vertical writing editing area in the force control program routine (2). do. In FIG. 2, (A) represents the editing area set in this manner. At this time, in FIG. 1, when the keyboard is operated and a character is input by the character input program routine 3), the editing mode automatic judgment program routine (4) determines that the editing mode is vertical writing, and the vertical writing editing program Routine (5
) control is transferred to Vertical editing zologram routine (5)
The character display program routine (8) displays a character at the cursor position and moves the cursor down one character.

When the cursor moves down one by one and is positioned outside this editing area, the cursor moves to the beginning of the next left column within the editing area. In this way, in vertical editing, processing is repeated from top to bottom and from right to left, and when the cursor moves and is positioned outside this editing area, processing in this editing mode is stopped.

Further, in the editing area, if the editing mode is determined to be horizontal writing, the cursor moves from left to right and from top to bottom. Next, when this character string is determined, the displayed character string is stored in the character buffer by the character string extraction and storage program routine (7).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, vertical writing and horizontal writing can be changed even partially within one document, so anyone can easily mix vertical writing and horizontal writing without performing complicated editing operations. It has the effect of creating documents.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document creation device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the editing operation of the device shown in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3 to 5 show editing examples of the conventional device. figure. 11+ is the edit mode setting program routine, (2) is the cursor control program routine, (3) is the character input program routine, (4) is the edit mode automatic determination program routine, (5) is the vertical writing edit program routine, (61 is the (7) is a character string extraction and storage program routine, (81 is a character display! program routine, and 191 is a Fi document buffer memory. In each figure, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.
