Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation method using a Japanese word processor or the like, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a document creation method using a Japanese word processor, etc. .

When editing the movement of a line, the text can be edited without always changing the positional relationship between the line and the text corresponding to the line. Concerning a document creation method that is excellent in terms of usability.

[Conventional technology]

For example, if you want to edit a table frame using a line in a document,
In conventional document creation devices, the line function (hereinafter referred to as method 1) always positions the line in a set line without being affected by the movement of the text, or moves in synchronization with the movement of the text. It has a wire function (hereinafter referred to as method 2).

By the way, the C line corresponds to a specific text in the document, that is, it maintains a relative positional relationship with the specific text, and the user can express this relationship by two lines such as (column 9 lines).
Check with dimensional information.

Therefore, when a user edits text in a document created based on two-dimensional information such as nine rows of columns, the effect is as follows.
If the line spans the entire bar graph containing the above edited text and the line is contained within that paragraph, then the line is
Different movements are shown depending on the above-mentioned key line function (ie, method 1 or method 2). Specifically, according to method 1, the line exists in the previous position without being affected by text editing, but according to method 2, it is affected by text editing and moves in the same way as the text. .

Prior art related to this type of text editing is, for example, "Hitachi Japanese Word Processor Word Pal 400 Operating Instructions (December 1, 1985, Published by Hitachi, Ltd.)"
It is described in.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventionally, text editing that includes a line in a document is performed as described above, but according to method 1's line function, when a line is included in the same paragraph as the edited text,
The positional relationship between the gray line and the text, that is, the layout, may be disrupted, and in that case, it is necessary to newly correct the positional relationship between the gray line and the corresponding specific text. In other words, there is room for improvement in the positional relationship between the text and the line in the line function of method 1, and if this point is improved, the usability of the document creation device having the line line function of method 1 will be further improved. do.

On the other hand, according to method 2, when a line is included in the same paragraph as the edited text, the positional relationship between the line and the text is maintained, but some lines are included in the same paragraph as the edited text. Although this is different from Method 1, if only the text contains the text, the positional relationship between the text and the text, that is, the layout, is disrupted, and as with method 1, a new text is added between the text and the text. It is necessary to correct the positional relationship with the text. In other words, the key line function of method 2 treats logical breaks in the key line in the same way as text, so it seems that sufficient consideration is not given to the vectorial nature that the key line should originally have.If this point could be improved, The usability of the document creation device having the line-of-sight function of method 2 is further improved, similar to the document creation device having the line-of-sight function of method 1 described above.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and includes:
The purpose of this is that when it is necessary to move a line when editing text that includes a line, the line will also move in conjunction with the line movement, and the line will move without losing the vectorial nature of the line. The present invention aims to provide a document creation method that allows text editing without destroying the positional relationship with the corresponding text.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to edit text and edit text data in a document creation method that creates documents using a data input device, a storage device that stores data and programs, a display that displays information, and a CPU that controls each of the above components. It has a text management mechanism that manages text, a line management mechanism that manages line editing and line data, and a text/line link specification mechanism that controls the interlocking relationship between text and line data. This is achieved by allocating a grid line and moving the assigned grid line as the specific line moves.

In other words, the present invention forcibly separates a line that has a positional relationship with the line and the line preceding that line into separate paragraphs,
By adding logical information that indicates the positional relationship between the line and related lines, when a change occurs in the related line by the text editing mechanism that controls text editing, the line can be changed based on the logical information. This is designed to activate a text/key line interlock designation mechanism to be moved.

[Effect]

According to the present invention that employs the above method, by forcibly separating a line that has a relationship with a line related to a line (line related to a line) and a paragraph in the preceding line, characters before the line related to a line related to a line are forcibly separated. Editing in digit units does not affect lines after the line related to the line.

In addition, by adding the logical relationship between the line and the line related to the line to the data, the logical relationship between both is maintained.
This makes it possible to move the line along with the line movement.

〔Example〕

Below, the present invention will be explained based on one embodiment of one drawing. Fig. 2 shows document creation! 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the device A. In FIG. 2, 21 is a CPU that controls the entire device, 22 is a display that displays information, 23 is a keyboard that inputs information, and 24 is a computer that stores information. 25 is a text management mechanism that controls text input/editing, 26 is a line management device 4J that controls line input/editing, and 27 is a text controller that controls interlocking lines with text. It shows the line interlocking designation mechanism.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are diagrams showing examples of screen configurations when a document is created using the method of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the method of the present invention.

When a key signal related to text editing is input to the CPU 21 from the keyboard (reference numeral 23 in FIG. 2) (step 31 in FIG. 3), the CPU 21 activates the text management mechanism 25 (step 34). ), Figure 1 (
b), "Product sales table J, r 1st half of 1987", "
Product name.”

“Sales amount J, rAJ, rBJ, rl, ooOJ
.

r900J is the target of the above activation. In addition, in Figure 1,
The symbol a indicates the "line feed" function.

On the other hand, when a key signal related to K-line editing is input from the keyboard 23 to the CPU 21 (step 32), the CPU
21 activates the line management mechanism 26 (step 33). In addition, in FIG. 1, the table frame shown in the same figure is the target of the above-mentioned activation.

As shown in FIG. 1(b), when inserting text (in the case of FIG. 1(b), inserting "Hitachi, Ltd."), the text management mechanism 25 is first activated. (step 34), and then a linkage check between the text and the check line is performed (step 35). In the case of FIG. 1(b), since the link between the line and the text I- is established, the text/line link designation mechanism 27 is activated (step 36), and the text/key line link designation mechanism 27 is activated. By being activated, the text and the K line are linked.

Here, the text management mechanism 25. of FIG. The line management mechanism and the text/line link designation mechanism 27 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. That is,
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the data structure regarding the text management mechanism, the line management mechanism, and the text/key line interlock designation mechanism shown in FIG.
The figure is a flowchart showing detailed processing contents of the text editing mechanism, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing processing contents of the text/key line interlock designation mechanism 27.

The text management mechanism 2 is operated by the CPU shown in FIG.
5, the text management mechanism 25 checks the startup condition (step 51 in FIG. 5), and in the case of text input conditions, the text input position (input page number, input line number, input Text number) is read (step 52), and text data is created from the read information (step 54).

As shown in FIG. 4, the data structure of text and lines can be roughly divided into page management data 41, line management data 42. Text data 43. Key line management data 44. Consists of 5 tables of 45 K-line data,
Each table is organically linked by a pointer indicating the relationship.

After the above data is created, a search is performed for the row whose position has been moved compared to before the change (step 55 in Figure 5), and after finding a row that satisfies this condition, Step 56) to search for a key line; after the above search, if the target key line exists, the key line number is returned to the CPU 21 as linked key line data step 57); the target key line does not exist. If so, the data indicating that there is no linked key line data is returned to CPU 1 (step 58), and the above flow outputs the related key line information from the text manual/editing, and the linked key line data is returned to CPU 1 (step 58). Upon receiving the line information, the CPU 21 activates the text/key line interlock designation mechanism 27.

Then, the text/key line interlock designation mechanism 27 acquires interlocking line information (step 61 in FIG. 6), and updates the positional relationship of the related line with the line based on this information (step 62). , After completing the above editing, the CPU 21
makes a screen display request to the display 22 and displays the first screen.
Redisplay both sides shown in figure (b).

In short, according to the present invention, by forcibly separating a line related to a line and the paragraph preceding it, the influence of character editing in units of digits before the line related to the line is reduced. It does not extend beyond line-related lines. Also,
By adding the logical relationship between the key line and the line related to the key line in the data, the logical relationship between the two is maintained, and thereby the line can be moved along with the line movement.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention is as described above, and according to the present invention, a line having a positional relationship with a line and a line preceding that line are forcibly separated into separate paragraphs, and a line located between a line and a related line is forcibly separated into a separate paragraph. By adding logical information that indicates the relationship between lines, when it is necessary to move a line when editing text that includes a line, the line will also move accordingly, without damaging the vector nature of the line. In addition, text can be edited without destroying the positional relationship between the C line and the corresponding text1.
The usability of the document creation device can be improved more than before.
