Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize automatic resetting to the initial value of each item by setting again the initial value stored in an initial value memory means to the different value by a format data setting means and also setting again each item to the initial value of the corresponding stored item by an initial value resetting means. CONSTITUTION:The initial value of the format data is read out to a format data area 32 and stored in a text memory 31. When the change of the format data is desired in a start mode for production of a document, a format data changing menu key 53 is pushed to store the data needed for resetting to the present processing state into a reset data area 34 of a RAM 3. The format data set in the area 32 is displayed on a display 7. A cursor is shifted to an item to be corrected with operation of a cursor key 54 and a key 55 is pushed for input of the item selection data. The format data and the title of a selected correction item are displayed with inversion and the initial value is retrieved out of an initial value area 33. At the same time, the format data corresponding to the correction item is rewritten into the initial value out of those format data stored in the area 32. In such a way, the initial value can be reset for each item.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a device for restoring changed 0-format data to initial values for each item in a document creation device.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, document creation devices have functions for setting format data such as top margin, bottom margin, left margin, right margin, line space, character pitch, keyboard switch, page length, tab stop, etc. The input data is processed and printed according to the specified format data. The initial values of the format data are stored, and when a new document is created, the format data of the document is first set to the stored initial values. If you want to change the format data from the initial value, you can reset the format data to the desired value for each item.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, with conventional devices, when restoring format data that has been reset to its initial value, although it is possible to restore all items of the format data to their initial values, it is not possible to selectively restore only the necessary items to their initial values. I couldn't do that. Therefore, in order to return only the necessary items to their initial values, it is necessary to verify the initial value of the item again and then manually set the initial value. For example, you may want to change the left margin and right margin, which are set to initial values, from a line in the middle, and then return them to the initial values after inputting several pages of data. In this case, if you forget the initial values, you will need to display the initial values of the format data, check the initial values, and then set the left margin and right margin to their new initial values. As described above, the conventional apparatus has a problem in that it is not easy to use because it is not possible to restore the format data to the initial value for each item.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to automatically restore format data to its initial value for each item and improve the usability of the device. It is.

[Means to solve the problem]

The structure of the invention for solving the above problems is that, in a document creation processing device that sets format data consisting of a plurality of items and creates a document according to the format data, an initial value memory that stores the initial value of the format data is provided. means, a format data setting means for resetting the format data, and data of the items reset by the format data setting means individually to the initial values of the corresponding items stored in the initial value storage means. The invention also includes means for returning initial values.

[Effect]

The format data is initially set to the initial value stored in the initial value storage means, and can be reset to a value different from the initial value by the format data setting means depending on the document to be created. Moreover, the format data once reset can be returned to the initial value of the corresponding item stored in the initial value storage means for each item by the initial value restoration means. Therefore, it is possible to automatically restore format data to its initial value for each item.

【Example】

The present invention will be described below based on specific examples. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a word processor according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The read-only memory (hereinafter referred to as rROMJ) 2 includes:

Next, the operation of this device will be explained. When this device is set to document creation mode, initial value area 3
The initial value of the format data stored in 3 is read out, and the initial value of the format data is set in the format data area 32. Each time a key on the keyboard 5 is pressed, the character/symbol code and function code input from the keyboard 5 are read and stored in the text memory 31. If the user wishes to change the format data after starting document creation, the format data change menu key 53 is pressed. When this format data change menu key 53 is pressed, c
pui is the address and CPU of the male running brodarum
Each data necessary to return to the current processing state, including the state of each register related to 1, is stored in RAM3.
The data is stored in the recovery data area 34 of , and the process is executed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. At step 100, the format data currently set in the format data area 32 is displayed on the display 7 in the format shown in FIG. Here, it is shown that the process at the start of the interrupt process, that is, when the format data change menu key 53 is pressed, is a document creation process, and document creation can be continued by pressing the control (CTRL) key 52. Message "C"
"TRL for Roro CUMCNT" is displayed. Item 1 is the format data for the top margin position and bottom margin position, the number to the left of the comma indicates the top margin position, and the number to the right of the comma indicates the bottom margin position. Item 2 is the format data for the left margin position and right margin position, the number to the left of the comma indicates the left margin position, and the number to the right of the comma indicates the right margin position.In this case, the left margin position is set to the 0th column, and the right margin position is set to the 117th column.Item 3 is the line spacing format data, and in this case, a line spacing of 176 inches is specified, and the other 176 inches are set as one line. , 1.5 lines, 2 lines, and 3 lines can be specified.Item 4 is the format data of the character pitch, in this case 10 characters/inch is specified, and other 12 characters/inch and 15 characters/inch are specified. Inches can be specified. Item 5.
is the keyboard switch format data, and data 1.2.3 can be specified depending on the daisy wheel used. 1 is normal, 2 is international, and 3 is the symbol daisy wheel. Item 6. is the format data of the number of lines on one page. Item 7° is format data for tab stop positions, and multiple tab stop positions can be set by the number of columns. Next, in step 102, the keyboard 5 is enabled for input, and data input from the keyboard 5 is read. Next, in step 104, it is determined whether the input data is item selection data for selecting a correction item for format data. In this embodiment, after moving the cursor to the item to be modified among the format items displayed on the display 7 by operating the cursor keys 54, a return (RETIIRN) key 55 is pressed to command execution of the function.
By pressing , item selection data is input. Here, if it is determined that it is item selection data, the process moves to step 106, and correction items in the format data are determined based on the inputted item selection data. When the correction item is determined, the title and format data of the selected correction item are highlighted in step 108, and the format data of the correction item can be changed in the subsequent step. In step 110, the keyboard 5 is brought into a state in which data can be input, and data input from the keyboard 5 is read. Next, in step 112, the input data instructs the format data to be restored to its initial value.
It is determined whether or not it is a key code, and if it is a + key code, the initial value of the correction item is retrieved from the initial value area 33 in step 114. Then, in step 116, among the format data set in the format data area 32, the format data corresponding to the correction item is retrieved in step 114 and rewritten to the initial value. Then, the CPUI process returns to step 100, and the rewritten and newly set format data is displayed on the display 7. Thereafter, in step 102, the next modification item of the format data can be selected. In this way, the set document data can be restored to its initial value for each item. On the other hand, if new format data to be changed is input by operating the keyboard 5 after the correction items have been determined, the determination at step 112 is N, and the process moves to step 118. Here, 1. Input of new format data is performed by pressing a numeric key corresponding to the value of the new format data and then pressing a return key. Step 118
Then, it is determined whether the input data is format data or not. If it is determined that the input data is format data, in step 120, the format data corresponding to the correction item among the format data set in the format data area 32 is selected in step 110. It will be replaced by the new format data that was input. Then, the process of the CPU 1 returns to step 100, and the rewritten and newly set format data is displayed on the display 7. Thereafter, in step 102, the next modification item of the format data can be selected. In this way, the set old-fashioned data can be rewritten into desired numerical values for each item. If it is determined in step 118 that the input data is not format data, the process proceeds to step 122, where the input data is invalidated and an error process is performed in which a warning sound is output for a predetermined period of time, and then the process proceeds to step 110. , the format data of the correction item can be changed again. If it is determined in step 102 that the input data is not item selection data, the process moves to step 124 and it is determined whether the input data is a control code caused by pressing the control (CTRL) key 52 or not. If it is a control code, the process moves to step 126, and the format data changing program returns to the calling program based on each data in the return data area 34. In this embodiment, the format data is changed by pressing the format data change menu key 53 after the start of document creation, so when the control key 52 is pressed, the screen returns to the screen immediately before the format data change menu key was pressed. It is now possible to continue document creation. If it is not a control code, the process returns to step 102 after an error process in which the input data is invalidated and a warning sound is output for a certain period of time in step 128, and the process waits for data input again. The initial value of the format data can be preset to an arbitrary value by pressing the initial format data menu key 56 to display a format data setting screen similar to that shown in FIG. I'll keep it. As described above, format data can be changed for each item by selecting correction items. In particular, when format data is to be returned to its initial value, the initial value can be automatically restored for each item by simply selecting a correction item and instructing it to be returned to its initial value.

【Effect of the invention】

The present invention has an initial value restoration means that restores the format data item by item to the initial value of the corresponding item stored in the initial value storage means.
Only the format data of that item can be automatically restored to its initial value even if the operator does not remember the initial value. Therefore, the operability of the device is improved.
