Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the trouble to input contents which are already printed by printing input characters directly on a print document. CONSTITUTION:An operator commands a character input part 16 to alter input character contents in an input character storage part 14 at need and thus alters and displays the input character contents on a 2nd screen of a display part 13. An input character printing part 15 reads the input character contents on the 2nd screen of the display part 13 out of the input character storage part 14 and prints them out on the print document 2.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a word processor, and particularly to a word processor that displays characters on a screen by key input, edits character strings on the screen to create a sentence, and prints it. .

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, word processors input all the information to be printed using keys or a scanner, and all the information displayed on the screen is printed on a blank sheet of paper.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional word processors mentioned above print all the content displayed on the screen on blank paper, so when trying to print on a printed form, all the content that is the same or similar to what is printed is printed. This method has the disadvantage that it is time-consuming because it requires key input and printing on a blank sheet of paper.

[Means to solve the problem]

The word processor of the present invention reads a printed form and
means to display the characters on the screen, and to display the characters on the second screen by key input.
The method includes means for displaying the first screen on the screen, means for displaying the first screen and the second screen in an overlapping manner, and means for printing only the second screen on the print form.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. The printed form reading unit 1 of the word processor 1 reads the printed content of the printed form 2 and outputs it to the printed form storage unit 12.

The print form storage section 1.2 displays the print contents on the first display section 13.
display on the screen.

The character input section 16 inputs characters according to key input commands from the operator and outputs them to the input character storage section 14 .

The input character storage section 14 causes the input character contents to be displayed on the second screen of the display section 13.

The display unit 13 displays a first screen of print content input from the print form storage unit 12 and a second screen of input character content input from the input character storage unit 14 in an overlapping manner.

Furthermore, if the operator deems it necessary, he/she instructs the character input unit 16 to change the input character content in the input character storage unit 14 and display the changed input character content on the second screen of the display unit 13. do.

The input character printing section 15 extracts the input character content on the second screen of the display section 13 from the input character storage section 14 and prints it out on a printed form.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention has the effect of omitting the effort of inputting the contents of a printed form by printing input characters directly on the printed form.

Furthermore, not only printed forms but also, for example, when printing additionally in the margins of a sheet of paper printed by a word processor, it is possible to omit the effort of inputting the already printed contents, as in the case of printed forms.
