Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device, and particularly to a copying method suitable for copying tabular data.

[Conventional technology]

The copy function in conventional form creation devices is used to copy data across multiple lines of the same data.

This was done by copying one piece of data to make two pieces of data, and copying two pieces of data to make four pieces of data.

Also, in order to make it easier to see the table data, if the user wants to omit items that contain the same data, when creating the data, enter "〃", "same as above", and "same as on the left" in the target item. When searching or sorting, use ``〃''
Since normal results were obtained with the data of ``same as above'', we are working to return to the same data.

[Line layer that the invention attempts to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional technology does not take into consideration data creation, especially copying, and when creating several lines of the same data,
There was a problem that the operation method took time.

In addition, to make the front metal body easier to read, the same data can be
I would like to keep it "same as left" as above, but in order to search and sort, the data must be the same.

The purpose of the present invention is to specify a range when copying data, and to unconditionally copy the first data of the range specified by the user, or to change the copy source data if different data exists within the specified range. Copying process shall be carried out. Also,
When copying, the user can replace the same data with the user characters, or return the user characters to the original data.

[Means to solve the problem]

The purpose of the above is to unconditionally copy the first data of the specified range by the number of rows or digits specified by the user according to the conditions specified when copying, and if the user specifies the characters mentioned above, , to replace and copy the user characters.

Furthermore, if different data exists in the middle of the range specification and the user specifies that the data should be copied, this can be achieved by stopping copying the previous data and copying the different data.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, in an operation of copying the same data over multiple lines, the user specifies a copy condition, and the first data in the specified range is unconditionally copied according to the copy condition for the number of lines specified in the range. When different data exists within a specified range, the data to be copied is changed and the data to be copied is increased after that data, thereby reducing data input and copying operations.

In addition, by specifying the copy range, you can replace the same data with the user characters and return the user characters to the original characters, making the table easier to see when replacing with the user characters, and also allowing you to change back to the original characters. When you search and sort, you will get the correct values, which is very convenient.

〔Example〕

An example of the present invention is shown below.
