JPH0359760A - Automatic item number formation system for word processor - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need of reallocating numbers when an item number is deleted or inserted by automatically adding item numbers in accordance with a specified character format and an optional order in document formation based upon a word processor. CONSTITUTION:The system is provided with an item number information adding means 2 for inserting item number information into a sentence when a character string inputted by a sentence input means 1 is an item number and an item number adding means 3 for retrieving the item number information inserted by the means 2 from an inputted/updated sentence formed by the means 1, 2 and adding the item numbers of an optional order with a format specified on the retrieved character position. A specific control code is inserted into the position to which the item number is to be allocated. Even when a number is deleted or inserted, the item number can be automatically reallocated without requiring user's manual operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic item number generation method in a word processor.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, adding item numbers in word processors has been done manually and left to the user.

When inserting or deleting item contents, two item numbers must be reassigned.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, in traditional word processors.

Adding item numbers is done manually by the user, and if it becomes necessary to delete or insert an item number due to a change in two sentences, the number that has been added must be manually replaced. There is a problem.

The object of the present invention is to provide an item number that automatically replaces the second item number without the user's intervention even when the second number is deleted or inserted by embedding a specific control code in the position where the second item number is attached. The purpose is to provide an automatic generation method.

The following margins [Means for solving the problem] The automatic item number generation method in the word processor of the present invention has two functions: a text input means for inputting sentences in a word processor whose purpose is to input and update sentences; Item number adding means for adding item number information; and item number adding means for searching item number information added to two sentences and automatically replacing item numbers in an arbitrary order in a specified character format at the searched sentence position. It is characterized by having the following.

〔Example〕

Next, two examples of the present invention will be explained.

Referring to FIG. If it is an item number, the item number information is embedded in the text by the item number information addition means 2 and 2 from the input/updated text created by the text input means 1 and the item number information addition means 2. It has an item number adding means 6 for searching item number information and adding an item number in an arbitrary order in a specified format to the searched character position.

Next, the operation of the two embodiments will be explained.

The text input means 1 inputs text using a conventional (normal) text input method.

Referring also to FIG. 2, the 2-item number information adding means 2 makes a full judgment in step 21 as to whether or not the user has inputted an item number. If it is determined in step 21 that an item number has been input, an item number control code is embedded in the text in step 22. The item number control code consists of an item number identification code part for identifying the division with two item numbers and an item number group code part for identifying the group of the two item numbers. Item number group code is 9
Used to identify groups when renumbering items.

Here, in actual implementation of step 21, a function key or other special key is used to determine the control character (code) that can be distinguished from other input characters.

Referring to FIG. 5, the two-item number renumbering means 5 determines whether or not to renumber the two items in step 1.

The decision as to whether or not to replace it is made based on input from function keys, etc., as one of the functions of the word processor.

Next, if it is determined in step 31 that the item numbers should be replaced, in step 32 the item number group to which the item numbers are to be replaced is specified, and in step 35 the character format of the item number to be replaced is specified.

Step 4 searches the two sentences for the item number group specified in step 62 from among the item numbers added by step 23 of item number adding means 2, starting from the beginning of the sentence. A determination is made in step 55 as to whether or not there are no more item numbers to search.

If the item number to be replaced is found in step 54, then in step 56 the correct order number from the beginning is replaced in the character format specified in step 66. What is the item number to be replaced?

``1''``2''``5''...
..."■","■","■",...I''
In addition to numerical characters such as "It", "III", etc.

′ A ″ ″ B ″ ``C'' ・・・・
Any alphabetic characters such as ... can be used as specified by the user.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention enables the user to avoid the troublesome work of replacing two item numbers when two item numbers are deleted or inserted by automatically adding item numbers in a specified character format in any order when creating a document using a word processor. You can free your hands.
