Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently edit in pages concerning document-picture data by individually and selectively control the movement of document data and picture data in the document-picture data edited based on a new page indication of inputting in the specified position or the deletion indication of the new page indication. CONSTITUTION:If the inputted document data is character data, the character data is transmitted to a read page process means 33. Next, if a control character 52 in a new page block moves over pages, the page before it moves is kept and when the moving direction of the control character 52 in the new page block is a reduction direction the page number in the fixed block information, which exists after the said page, is made to reduce by the movement of the control character 52 in the new page block. Meanwhile when the direction is increase direction the page number in the fixed block information, which exists after the said page, is made to increase by the movement of the control character 52 in the new page block.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an image processing device that processes image data such as characters, graphics, images, etc., and particularly to characters.

The present invention relates to an image processing device that edits blocks having unique attributes such as figures and images.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional word processors, when pasting a map or photo into a document, a fixed frame (block) is placed in the middle of the text in the document.
The method used was to leave a blank space and paste shapes and photos into it.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with this method, when a page is inserted into the previous page of Blunier or Ri using page break control character data, the text related to the information in the block is moved to the next page, There are problems such as only the blow 7 (fixed frame) fixedly provided on the page is left behind, and a new fixed frame creation task must be created for the related text that has been moved. In addition, even for blocks such as footnotes that have a fixed position on the page but float as a document, when a document is inserted or deleted from that page,
There are problems in that key operations must be performed to move blocks, which significantly impedes document processing efficiency.

This invention was made in order to solve the above problem, and when a page interrupt or document data insertion or deletion occurs in a document that has a fixed block frame on a certain page, the fixed block frame is selected. It is an object of the present invention to provide an image processing device that can move and arrange a fixed block frame together with related document data based on editing of document data by moving the frame symmetrically.

This shows a state in which image data blocks 53 are written between N pages. Figure (b) shows the document image data after editing, and the control character 52 of the page break block between the (N-1) pages shown in Figure (a) is
) The image data block 53 that was between N pages has been moved between (N+1) pages because document data such as "rxyz...aiu" has been inserted between pages. .

As shown in (a) of the same figure, (N-1
) After specifying the input position 51 with the pointing device 7 in the document data in which there is a page break block control character 52 between pages, inserting document data such as "rxyz...aiu" in the insert mode causes a break. M indicates that the control character 52 of the page block has moved to the next page.
If the PU 4 makes a judgment, it moves the subsequent document data from the input position 51 to the next page, and also moves the image data block 53 that was between N pages between (N+1) pages (see FIG. 7(b)). The page address table 34 shown in FIG. 4 created on the main memory 5.
Fixed block information 12 is automatically updated. In addition, (N-

, if NO, return to step (1); if YES, save the original page and return to step (11).

In addition, in the above embodiment, the control character 5 of the page break block
The movement of fixed blocks by inputting and deleting 2 and the movement of fixed blocks by movement of the control character 52 of the page break block are handled at the same time, but it is not necessary to handle them at the same time. Also, if moving a fixed block due to entering or deleting page break data and moving due to a page break block are likely to occur at the same time, you can set the priority or set the movement amount to the maximum value of either movement. Needless to say.

Furthermore, although the page break control block 52 determines whether to move a block when moving between pages, it is assumed that the page break control block 52 makes a judgment based on the position first inputted.
Movement of one or more pages may be subject to judgment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention includes an instruction means for instructing a part of document image data displayed on a display, and a page break designation inputted at a position specified by the instruction means, or deletion of this page break designation. Since the data control means selectively controls the movement of the document data in the document image data edited by the editing means based on the specification and the image data managed independently from this document data, it is possible to control the movement of page breaks. By simply instructing the deletion of a specification or page break specification, fixed block frames that are managed independently of the document data can be selectively moved and placed on a predetermined page in parallel with editing the document data. It has an excellent advantage of allowing efficient page editing of document image data.
