Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a method for displaying and editing a document in a document editing device and its device.Prior art The displaying and editing of a document in a document editing device is performed on a fixed-size screen. Problems that the above-mentioned invention aims to solve When displaying a document on a fixed-size screen, the size of the displayed characters is constant, so the number of characters per line and the number of lines per page in the document format increases. If you change from editing the manuscript paper model to editing the paper model, the entire content of the document you want to display cannot be displayed on the screen, making it difficult to check the content of the edited document. Since the size does not change and only a portion of the paper being edited is displayed, it is difficult to get a general image of the edited document, making editing difficult.Furthermore, to check the contents of the edited document, open the editing screen. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional display and editing methods and to efficiently edit documents. In order to achieve this object, the invention according to claim 1 (when the format of the document to be edited is decided, the height and width of the screen necessary to display the document in that format) and changes the size of the screen according to its height and width.
The invention described above can be applied to cases where documents are switched when editing multiple documents, and the document editor automatically changes the display/edit screen size to an appropriate size without the document editor being aware of the format of the document being edited. A display editing method and device thereof.

Furthermore, the invention described in claim 4 and claim 5 (the invention described in claim 1 is also applied when the editing model changes, and in the case of a manuscript paper model, the size of the display editing screen is calculated based on the format of the editing document. In the case of a paper model (Mi) By calculating the size of the display/edit screen based on the paper size of the edited document, the document editor can automatically set the display/edit screen to an appropriate size without being aware of the mode in which he or she is trying to edit. The consistency of the document to be edited is displayed by calculating the screen size for displaying the document based on the format and paper size of the document to be edited. By changing the screen size accordingly, you can view and edit the document consistently on the editing screen, and also when the document changes. When the hole editing model changes, the screen size of the display editing screen is automatically calculated based on the new document format and editing model, and by changing the screen size, Editor 1 can change the editing document format and editing. You can obtain an appropriate display/edit screen size without having to be aware of the model, and - By being able to see the buyer's document at once, you can easily understand the contents of the document being edited.
Embodiments The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a procedure for changing the size of a document display/edit screen according to the invention as claimed in claim 1. When the format of the document being edited is changed (FIG. 1a), the screen size required to display the buyer's document in that format is calculated (FIG. 1b).

For example, if the display font size is 16 dots x 16 dots, the character spacing is 1 dot, the line spacing is 3 dots, and the document format is 36 lines and 40 columns, - the screen size required to display the buyer's document is Table 1 As shown in Figure 2, the width is (16 dots x 40 digits + 1 dot x (40-1)) and the height is 16 dots + - After that, the size of the document display/edit screen is changed based on the value calculated above (FIG. 1C).

The format of a document is changed not only when the format is changed using the document editing device's format change function, but also when a new document for editing is loaded into the document editing device. But ok (X.

FIG. 3 is a procedure for changing the size of the display editing screen when the document is changed in the invention as claimed in claim 2, and FIG.
The figure shows a configuration diagram of an apparatus which is an embodiment of the invention as claimed in claim 3. In Figure 4, screen size calculation section 41
When the document is changed, the format data of the new document is acquired from the document format management section 42, and the size of the display editing screen is calculated according to the embodiment of claim 1. Screen size calculation section 41
Fig. 5 shows a procedure for changing the size of the display editing screen when the editing model in the invention as claimed in claim 4 is changed. The figure shows a configuration diagram of an apparatus which is an embodiment of the invention set forth in claim 5.

In FIG. 6, the screen size calculation unit 61 (Table 1) When the editing model is switched and the new model is a manuscript paper model, the format data of the new document is calculated by the document format management unit 6.
If the new model obtained from 2 is a paper model, L
The paper size data to be used in the new document is acquired from the paper size management section 634. Then, based on these data, the size of the display editing screen is calculated, and the screen size changing section 64 changes the size of the display editing screen. As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention (when the format of the document to be edited is decided, calculates the height and width of the screen necessary to display the document in that format, By changing the size according to its height and width, you can display and edit a single document on the editing screen, and also change the size when the document changes or the editing model changes. From the document format and editing model,
By automatically calculating the screen size of the display/edit screen and changing the screen size, the editor (or editor) can obtain an appropriate display/edit screen size without being aware of the format or editing model of the edited document. -By being able to see the buyer's document at once, the content of the document being edited can be easily grasped, and the number of unnecessary screen scrolls can be reduced, speeding up the editing process. It has this effect.
