Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform edit according to a routine format by performing the edit of a character string at a state where a routine format document is dis played on a document display device with an on-format document edit processing part when the routine format document is edited. CONSTITUTION:An edit processor 1 receives an edit instruction from a document input device 2, and judges whether or not a processing is the edit processing of the routine format. When the routine format document is designated, the processing is performed under the processing control of the on-format document edit processing part 8. The edit of an existing file is performed in such a way that the document of the existing file is opened, and superimposing edit on a routine format display device 3 is performed, namely, a free edit processing for the character other than routine format can be permitted. The superimposing edit is performed by displaying the routine format on a graphic display screen, and displaying the document on a text screen. After the edit is performed, the character string is stored in a document memory device 4 at need, and is printed with a document printer 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in document processing devices such as word processors, fixed format documents such as tables with ruled lines are treated as ordinary documents and are subject to normal editing. Therefore, when creating a document that conforms to a fixed format, the fixed format document must be edited directly, and essential character strings that were previously entered in the fixed format document may be accidentally erased or deleted. , which often corrupts the format.

In this regard, according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-233462, it is possible to specify whether or not the input is format data when inputting a document, so that format data and general document data can be handled separately. It is shown.

The problem to be solved by the invention is that when using the above-mentioned publication method, an edited document can be printed overlapping a standard format, and there is no need to create a document according to a standard format when inputting and editing a document. It has not been taken into account. Therefore, the format is completely different from the actual format, and requires operations such as inputting and editing the necessary character strings for each item, making it difficult to grasp the image. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to create and maintain multiple documents in the same fixed format.

Means for Solving the Problem: A document input means having a document type specifying means for specifying the type of each document as a general document or a fixed format document, a document display means, and a normal editing method selected when specifying a general document. A general document editing processing unit that performs processing, and a format document editing unit that is selected when specifying a fixed format document and displays the fixed format document in a non-editable state on the document display means, and also allows normal editing of character strings over the display. a document editing means having a processing section; a document storage for storing the document produced by the general document editing processing section as a general document as it is, and storing the character string produced by the document editing processing section in the format as a general document associated with a corresponding fixed format; and a document printing means.

Operation When editing a fixed-format document, unlike when editing a general document, character strings can be edited while the fixed-format document is displayed on the document display means by the document editing processing unit due to the format. It becomes possible to edit documents according to the format. At this time, the fixed format document is only displayed and cannot be edited, so the fixed format will not be destroyed. Also,
Since only character strings are stored in the document storage means and are stored in association with fixed format documents, it is also possible to store a plurality of documents for the same format document.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The document processing device of this embodiment basically includes document editing means 1, document input means 2 using a keyboard, etc.
A document display means 3 such as an RT display, a document storage means 4, and a document printing means 5 are connected.

Here, the document input means 2 of this embodiment has a document type designation means 6 for designating the type of document, whether the document is a general document or a fixed format document, for each document to be input. It is. Further, the document editing means 1 performs different processes depending on whether the specified document is a general document or a fixed format document, and the general document editing processing section 7 for the former and the format document for the latter are used. It has a document editing processing section 8.

In such a configuration, document creation processing including processing by the document type specifying means 6, the general document editing processing section 7, and the formatting document editing processing section 8 will be explained.

First, the flowchart in FIG. 2 shows the process when creating a new document. When a general document is designated by the document type designation means 6, the editing processing means 1 edits the document, and then the document is stored in the document storage means 4 as a general document. On the other hand, if a fixed format document is specified,
After editing processing by the editing processing means 1, it is stored in the document storage means 4 as a fixed format document.

The flowchart in FIG. 3 shows processing such as updating and editing of a general document or a fixed format document already registered in the document storage means 4. First, the editing processing means 1 receives an editing instruction from the document inputting means 2, and determines whether the editing processing is for a fixed format or not. When update editing processing for a general document is instructed, normal editing processing is performed while displaying the document on the document display means 3 under processing control by the general document editing processing section 7. After processing, the document is stored as a general document in the document storage means 4 as usual, if necessary.

Therefore, when specifying a fixed format document, processing is performed under the processing control of the document editing processing section 8 due to the format. First, the specified fixed format document is displayed on the document display means 3, but editing processing for the fixed format document is not allowed. With such a fixed format document displayed on the screen, it is possible to create or update the document in accordance with the format. Here, in the case of editing an existing file, the document of the existing file is opened and superimposed editing is allowed on the fixed format display, that is, free editing processing is allowed for character strings other than the fixed format. This also applies to new documents that are not existing files.
A new document is opened in a fixed format, and editing in accordance with the fixed format display is allowed. Such overlapping editing can be realized, for example, by displaying a fixed format on a graphic screen and displaying a document (character string) on a text screen. After editing, it is stored in the document storage means 4 and printed by the document printing means 5, if necessary. Only character strings are stored as general documents associated with corresponding fixed formats. Specifically, each file may be stored in such a manner that it has a flag area indicating the type and a pointer area for related documents in addition to the document name. Printing is performed by overlapping printing in the form of a fixed format cross string, and can be realized by developing both into a bitmap.

FIG. 4(a) shows an example of a fixed format, which can be called a reading card 9, and includes areas separated by ruled lines and item names such as "Title", "Author Name", "Publisher", etc. It is a document. When creating a document in accordance with the reading card 9, which is a fixed format document, the format of the reading card 9 is displayed only on the screen, while the format of the reading card 9 is displayed on the screen. In this case, the character string shown in FIG. 4(b) can be freely edited according to the areas and item names delimited by ruled lines.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, when editing a fixed format document, unlike when editing a general document/book, the fixed format document is displayed as a document indicator by the "format" two-pronged three-fold collection processing section. Since it is possible to edit the character string while it is displayed on the rise, it is possible to edit the image in a fixed format that is easy to grasp, and
Fixed format documents are only displayed and cannot be edited, so the fixed format will not be destroyed, and the storage in the document storage means is only character strings, which are stored in association with the fixed format document, so the same format cannot be edited. It is also possible to hold multiple documents for a format document.
