Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a character processing device such as a word processor, and in particular, the present invention relates to a character processing device such as a word processor. The present invention relates to a character processing device that can arbitrarily adjust the characters.

(B) Conventional Technology Conventionally, in this type of character processing device, when an operator instructs printing of a created sentence, the document processing device prints a predetermined character interval at the rear of each character to be printed. , monitors the beginning and end of each line to be printed, and if the beginning of a line is a non-starting character (for example, (
", etc.), it is moved to the beginning of the next line, or the next line's first character is moved to the end of that line, and then printed (for example, (See Publication No. 101990).

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in conventional character processing devices of this type, when moving a character that cannot start at the beginning of a line, such as a punctuation mark, to the end of the previous line, the end of line character of the previous line is Because the characters were moved after the character spacing added at the end of I had a problem with it sticking out from within.

This invention was made in consideration of these circumstances, and even when printing on paper with a predetermined character spacing, the prohibited characters at the end of a line that are transferred from the next line do not fit within the predetermined frame. To provide a character processing device with a function to prevent prohibited characters from protruding from the outside.

(d) Means for solving the problems FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention.

In this figure, 101 is a key input means;
Reference numeral 2 denotes a first storage means for storing a document created by inputting from the key input means 101; 103 reads a predetermined number of characters for one line from the first storage means 102; a predetermined character interval is placed after each character; 104 is a second storage means that receives the output from the control means 103 and stores it;
5 is a determining means for determining whether the next bullet following a line stored in the second storage means 104 is a character that cannot start at the beginning of a line; 106 is a determination means for determining whether the first character is a character that cannot start at the beginning of a line; 107 is a second additional means for deleting the character interval after the stored end-of-line character and adding the non-startable character thereto;
This is a printing means that prints in accordance with the contents of the storage means 104.

(e) Operation In FIG. 1, when printing is performed, the first
The document stored in the storage means 102 is stored in the second storage means 1 with a predetermined character interval added to the end of each character for a predetermined line by the control means 103.
04 and is stored in the second
If it is determined that the next bullet character following one line stored in the storage means 104 is a character that cannot start at the beginning of a line, the addition means 106 causes the second storage means 10
The character spacing after the end-of-line character moved to 4 is deleted and a non-startable character is added there, so even when printing on paper with a specified character interval, the end-of-line character moved from the next line The prohibited characters will not protrude from the specified frame.

(F) Embodiments The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings. Note that this invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In this figure, 1 is a keyboard having character input keys, kanji conversion keys, next candidate keys, non-conversion keys, various function keys, etc. A document is created by inputting from this keyboard 1.
The character spacing and number of characters printed per line are specified, and printing commands are given. 2 is RAM;
A document storage area 2a for storing a document input from the keyboard 1, and a print document storage area 2b for storing a predetermined number of characters for one line corresponding to the number of characters to be printed for one line specified by the input from the keyboard 1. have. The document storage area 2a is an area where input character information such as characters and symbols is converted into 2-byte hex codes and stored, and the print document storage area 2b is an area where characters are stored in the format in which they are actually printed. This is an area where an image of one line is formed by dots, with character spacing added between and characters. 3 is the CPU, keyboard 1
When a printing command is issued from the document storage area 2a of RAM2, a predetermined number of characters for one line are called from the document storage area 2a of RAM2, a predetermined character interval is added to the end of each character, and the characters are read from the print document storage area 2a of RAM2 as well.
b, and determines whether the next bullet following the stored line is a non-startable character, and if the first bullet is a non-startable character, the end-of-line character stored in the printed document storage area 2b is Delete the trailing character spacing and add the non-starting character there. 4 is a ROM that stores the program for CPU 3 and a dictionary for kanji conversion; 5 is a ROM
A dot printer prints the contents stored in the print document storage area 2b of the RAM 2, and a CRT display 6 displays documents created by inputting from the keyboard 1.

The operation of such a configuration will be explained below using the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, character information is input in advance from the keyboard 1 by an operator, and a document is stored in the document storage area 2a of the RAM 2. Then, from keyboard 1, select the number of characters per line to be printed (for example, 22 characters) and the character spacing (for example, 10 dots).
is set, and then a print command is given from the keyboard 1 to the CPU 3.

Hereinafter, as shown in Figure 3, when the printing routine is started by this printing command, the step
In step 201, the CPU 3 reads the first character to be printed from the document storage area 2a of the RAM 2, and counts the number (step by step).
202) Determine whether the predetermined number of characters (22 characters) in one line to be printed has been reached (step 203), and if not, print a predetermined character interval (10 characters) after that character.
dot) and stores it in the printed document storage area 2b of the RAM 2 (step 205). Repeat this operation a predetermined number of times (22 times), and when the predetermined number of characters (22 characters) in one line to be printed is reached (step
203), it is determined whether the first character of the next line (the 23rd character) of the document storage area 2a to be called next is a character that cannot be started at the beginning of a line (step 206). If this character (the 23rd character) is a character that cannot start at the beginning of a line, then the character spacing (10 dots) added to the end of the line end character (22nd character) stored in the printed document storage area 2b is Delete (step
207), the next line's non-startable character (the 23rd character) is called from the document storage area 2a and added thereto (step 208). At this time, in step 206, if the first character (the 23rd character) of the next line in the document storage area 2a to be called next is not a character that cannot start at the beginning of a line, then the end-of-line character (22nd character) stored in the printed document storage area 2b is The character spacing (10 dots) added to the end of the second character) remains unchanged.

In this way, in the printed document storage area 2b,
In the format that is actually printed, an image for one line with character spacing added between characters is formed as dots, and when this image in the printed document storage area 2b is output from the RAM 2 to the printer 5,
The printer 5 receives this output and prints one line of the document (step 209), and the printing of one line is completed.

As described above, if you print each line, even when printing on paper printed with a predetermined character spacing, the prohibited characters at the end of the line that are transferred from the next line will protrude from the predetermined frame. Things will disappear.

(g) Effect of the invention According to this invention, when the first character of the next line of a line to be printed is a non-startable character, the character interval after the last character of the line to be printed is deleted and the line start is inserted there. Because prohibited characters are added, even when printing on paper with a specified character spacing, the prohibited characters at the end of the line that are transferred from the next line will not protrude from within the specified frame.Prohibition of prohibited characters from protruding. A capable character processing device is provided.
