Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a document creation apparatus that handles modified character designs, when a modified model design newly added by a higher model is called by a lower model, data of a newly modified modified character design (character Because there is no design data), modified character functions such as move, copy, delete, and correction cannot be executed.

Therefore, when a document including a modified character design newly added in a higher model is called in a lower model, a modified character design in which functions such as moving, copying and correcting cannot be executed is displayed on the screen and an editable document. Indistinguishable from the data, there is a problem in terms of operation.

[0004]

As described above, in the past, in the document creating apparatus which handles the modified character design,
When the variant character design newly added in the upper model is called in the lower model, the data of the variant character design newly added in the lower model does not exist, so move, copy, delete,
There was a functional problem that functions such as correction could not be executed.

Further, along with this, when a document including a modified character design newly added in a higher model is called in a lower model, a modified character design in which functions such as moving, copying and correcting cannot be executed is displayed on the screen. Therefore, there is an operational problem that it is difficult to distinguish from editable document data due to the operational inconvenience.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances,
For deformed character designs that do not have commonality between models,
Functions such as move, copy, and delete that do not depend on the modified character design data can be executed to ensure compatibility of documents that include modified character designs between models, and eliminate the hassle of operation and improve operational functions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device and a modified character compatibility method capable of improving the performance.

In a document creating apparatus that handles modified character designs, when a document including a modified character design created by using an outline in a higher model is called in a lower model, it is conventionally in a lower model. Since the newly added modified character design data (character design data) does not exist, functions such as moving, copying and correcting could not be executed. Therefore, in the present invention, a modified character design created with character design data that is not available in lower-level models can be executed for data-independent editing functions (move, copy, delete, correct, etc.), and it can be used between models. The compatibility of the deformed character design is ensured.

The operation for realizing the compatibility function of this modified character design will be described below. When a document including a modified character design is called from the document floppy disk loaded in the floppy disk drive 21 and displayed on the display 18, the modified character design editing function is selected. The modified character design edit function process shown is executed.

Called by selecting any one function from various editing functions of modified character design (for example, type correction / format correction / size correction / deletion / movement / copy / confirmation display). Any modified character design on the document can be selected for editing (step S1 in FIG. 3).
).

Here, when an arbitrary deformed character design on the document is selected as an editing target (step S2 in FIG. 3),
The character design data 30 of the selected variant character design is read into the table storage area 13A in the RAM 13, and the version information 31 of the variant character design and
The content of the ID information 32 is recognized (step S in FIG. 3).
3).

Next, based on the contents of the version information 31 and the contents of the ID information 32, it is judged whether or not the modified character designs are compatible (step S4 in FIG. 3). The compatibility determination processing of the modified character design at this time is executed according to the processing procedure shown in FIG.

Here, first, a version check is performed based on the contents of the version information 31. In this version check, from the contents of version information 31,
It is determined whether or not the selected modified character design is a modified character design (step S41 in FIG. 4).

When it is confirmed that the deformed character design selected here is a deformable character design that can be handled,
Next, a function check is performed. In this function check, it is determined whether or not the selected function depends on the design data (step S42 in FIG. 4). Specifically, it is a function that involves data access that is not the commonly accessible control information area c (for example, type correction / format correction / size correction / confirmation display, etc.), or a function that does not involve the data access (for example, (Delete / move / copy, etc.).

If the function does not involve data access (for example, delete / move / copy), the function selected for the modified character design is executed (step S5 in FIGS. 3 and 4).

Further, a function involving data access (for example,
Type correction / format correction / size correction / confirmation display, etc.), the ID function check is performed according to the contents of the ID information 32. In this ID function check, it is determined from the contents of the ID information 32 whether or not the modified character design is a modified character design capable of data operation (that is, whether or not the device has a data operation function of the modified character design). (Step S43 in FIG. 4).

If the modified character design allows data operation, the function selected for the modified character design is executed (step S5 in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4). If the modified character design is not data-operable, a message to that effect is displayed on the display 18, and the editing function process for the selected modified character design is terminated (FIG. 3, step S6 in FIG. 4).

By executing such a modified character design editing function process, even a modified character design created with character design data that does not exist in the self-device is not dependent on the data (moving, copying, deleting). , Correction, etc.), it is possible to carry out arbitrary editing processing, and therefore compatibility of modified character designs between models is secured.

[0033]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a modified character design that does not have commonality among models does not depend on the data of the modified character design, and movement, copying,
Functions such as deletion can be executed to ensure compatibility of documents including deformed character designs between different models, and the operational functionality can be improved without the hassle of operation.
