Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a document creation apparatus capable of setting a document buffer in a format for storing business card information.

(Prior Art) A document creation device (Japanese word processor) that inputs a kana character and converts it into kanji to create a document has become very popular. In such a document creating apparatus, a function extending over other types such as a postcard address printing function is provided for the convenience of the user.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, since no uniform format is set for documents other than postcards, for example, documents for printing business cards, after printing the business card information stored in the document, the business card is printed. The information was not available.

An object of the present invention is to provide a document creating apparatus capable of setting a document memory in a format for storing business card information.

[Configuration of Invention] (Means and Actions for Solving Problems) Business card format designating means for designating business card format setting, document memory for storing a document, and business card format setting by the business card format setting means. At this time, means for clearing the space in the document memory, a line counter for counting the number of lines in the document memory, a page counter for counting the number of pages in the document memory, and one for storing one business card information While counting up the record counter that counts the number of records and the line counter by a predetermined number of lines, match the ruled line data correspondingly on the document memory and write the format setting data in the area sandwiched by the ruled lines. When the number of records counted by the record counter on one page in the document memory reaches a predetermined record, the page counter is incremented and the page counter is counted. Page number to be counted in printer is characterized by comprising a formatting unit to terminate happens when formatting the predetermined page.

(Embodiment) A document creating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 11 is a keyboard for inputting a document and various designations, 12 is a kana / kanji conversion device 13, proofreading / editing in accordance with the operation of characters or function keys input from the keyboard 11. An input control circuit that activates the device 14 and the operator conversation device 15. The kana / kanji conversion device 13 converts the input hiragana into kanji by referring to the dictionary and grammar table, and the proofreading / editing device 14 stores the conversion result converted by the kana / kanji conversion device 13 in the document buffer 16. The process of writing and the process of inserting, deleting, etc. are performed on the document already written in the document buffer 16 according to the operation of the function keys. Above keyboard
When the function key from 11 is operated, the operator conversation device 15 is activated by the input control circuit 12 and the business card format setting device 18 is activated. Further, 17 is a display device including a liquid crystal display device for displaying a work menu for printing or document storage according to the function keys, and 18 is a business card format setting device for rewriting the document buffer 16 for business card format.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as above will be described. When a function key of the keyboard 12 is pressed to organize business cards while creating a document, the operation is detected by the input control circuit 12 and the operator conversation device 15
Is started. Then, the operator conversation device 15 displays a work menu for organizing business cards on the display device 17. Then, when an instruction is given from the keyboard 11 to select the business card format setting from the work menu, the business card format setting device 18 is activated. Then, the business card formatting device 18 first displays a message on the display device 17 asking whether to clear the document buffer 16 being created. Then, when the select / execute key is pressed, the process of the flowchart for performing the business card format setting shown in FIG. 2 is started. First, the proofreading / editing device 14 is activated to clear the space in the document buffer 16 (step S1). Next, as a default, the line counter LC that counts the number of lines in the document buffer 16 is set to "1".
However, "1" is set in the page counter PC for counting the number of pages, and "0" is set in the record counter RC for counting the number of records for storing one business card information (step S2). Next, the ruled line 21 is drawn in the document buffer 16 on the line designated by the line counter LC, that is, on the "1" th line. Also a row counter
LC + 1 to 4th line, that is, “I” to “2” to “5” lines
"... + I" is written (step S3). Next, the row counter LC is incremented by 5, the row counter LC is set to “6”, and the record counter RC is incremented by 1 and the record counter is incremented.
“1” is set in RC (step S4). In this way, “+” is written in the area for storing one piece of business card information. Next, record counter RC = 7 when page counter PC ≠ 4 or record counter RC when page counter PC = 4
It is determined whether RC = 4 (step S5). Since only one record has been written on the first page, the above step S3
The processing of Nos. 4 to 4 is repeated 6 more times. In this way, if 7 records, that is, a format for writing 7 business card information is set on the first page, YE is selected in step S5.
A ruled line 22 is drawn on the line designated by the line counter LC on the document buffer 16 (step S6). Next, the row counter LC is set to 1 and the page counter PC is incremented by 1 to set "2" (step S7). Then, it is determined whether or not the page counter PC = 5. Since the page counter PC is "2" here, it is determined to be "NO" and the above step S3 is performed.
Return to processing.

Similarly, if the 7th record area is formatted on the 2nd and 3rd pages, respectively, and the 4th record is formatted on the 4th page, the ruled line is set on the line designated by the counter LC. 23 is subtracted (step S6). Then, the page counter PC is incremented by 1 to "5". Because of this, the steps
The line header (36 lines, 72 lines, 1
The paper replacement flag is set on line 08) (step S9).
Further, commons such as the number of characters per line and the tabulation mode are set (step S10). As described above, the first page to the third page of the document buffer 16 have 7 records and 4 pages, respectively.
On the page, “+” is written in the area of 4 records. That is, 25 records are set in the document buffer 16.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the title 31 of the business card information is written in the first record in the document buffer 16 in which the business card format is set as shown in FIG. 32 is written by being delimited by the delimiter code ",".

[Effect of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a document creation apparatus capable of setting a document buffer in a format for storing business card information.
