BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating machine, and more particularly to a document creating machine for the printing industry which processes a large amount of document data which cannot be stored in one storage means due to its performance limit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A document creating machine for the printing industry processes and prints a wide variety of document data such as general publications. However, especially in the document data to be processed, the limit of the performance of storage means is exceeded. Large document data may also be created.
There is also document data that cannot be stored in one storage unit and is divided into a plurality of storage units and stored page by page.

The proofreading / editing work is separately performed on the divided document data in units of division, which tends to cause a shortage or excess of the document data in units of division. When an excess or deficiency of document data occurs, it is manually input and deleted by re-inputting or deleting it by checking with the document data of the next division unit.

However, if the number of divisions of document data increases,
A lot of cutting and pasting work occurs even in one proofreading editing work, and the man-hour for document creation increases, so it is necessary to reduce the cutting and pasting work.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a conventional cutting and pasting operation.

In FIG. 2, 10 is control means of the document creator, 20 is input means, 30 is edit means, 40 is storage means, 50 is display means, 60 is printing means, 100 is external storage means (floppy disk, etc.). ), 110 is an external storage means, and 200 is an output result of printing the document data stored in the external storage means 110 by the printing means 60.

The example described with reference to FIG. 2 is an external storage means 100.
This is a cutting and pasting work that eliminates the document data shortage that has already occurred.

Now, the operator instructs the control means 10 through the input means 20 to input the document data stored in the external storage means 100. As a result, the control unit 10 inputs the document data from the external storage unit 100, stores it in the storage unit 40, and displays it on the display unit 50.

The operator refers to the display and the output result 200 and inputs the document data from the input means 20 with reference to the beginning of the output result 200 in order to make up for the shortage of the displayed document. The control means 10 edits the input document data by the editing means 30 as needed and stores it in the storage means 40.

After the input of the insufficient document data is completed, the operator instructs the control means 10 through the input means 20 to transfer the document data stored in the storage means 40 to the external storage means 100, and the control means 10 is operated. Is the storage means 4
The document data is transferred from 0 to the external storage means 100.

Next, the operator instructs the control means 10 through the input means 20 to input the document data stored in the external storage means 110. The control means 10
Document data is input from the external storage means 110, stored in the storage means 40, and displayed by the display means 50.

The operator refers to the display and the output result 200, and instructs the control means 10 to delete the document data corresponding to the document data stored in the external storage means 100 in order to make up for the shortage. Direct through. Control means 1
0 deletes the document data instructed from the storage means 40 through the editing means 30.

When the deletion is completed, the operator instructs the control means 10 through the input means 20 to transfer the document data stored in the storage means 40 to the external storage means 110. The control unit 10 transfers the document data from the storage unit 40 to the external storage unit 110.

Similarly, when the excess occurs, the operator inputs the excess document data to the head of the document data stored in the external storage means 110, and deletes the excess document data when the input is completed. ..

[0015]

However, the conventional document creating machine has a drawback in that a cutting and pasting operation is required each time the divided document data is proofread and edited, which takes time and effort.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, to save the labor and time of cutting and pasting work, to shorten the time of document preparation, and to provide a document preparation machine which can prepare a document earlier. Especially.

[0017]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in a document creating machine according to the present invention, a control means for controlling the entire apparatus and an input for inputting document data such as kana and kanji characters and a character size instruction. Means, storage means for storing the document data, display means for displaying the document data, editing means for editing the document data into a format of lines or pages, printing means for printing the document data, A plurality of external storage means for dividing and storing document data, a selecting means for storing the order of the document data divided and stored in the plurality of external storage means, and a editing means for editing the document data in the external storage means. When the data amount of the document data has been increased or decreased by the editing, the sentence in the external storage means corresponding to the next order is selected according to the selection order stored by the selection means. Data is moved to and from the data, and the document data that has been edited so far and the document data that has been edited so far are edited as if they were one continuous document data, and an external storage means editing means for correcting the increase / decrease Is.

The selection order stored in the selection means can be arbitrarily changed.

[0019]

The long document data, which cannot be stored in one storage unit due to the limit of the performance of the document creator, is calibrated in a state of being dividedly stored in a plurality of storage units to save the time and labor of the cutting and pasting work.
