Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a typesetting data correction device such as a character editor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a character editing machine, the typesetting data required for character typesetting are mainly character data indicating the characters constituting the contents of a sentence and the attributes necessary for displaying each character. There is a function that is instruction data for designating. The functions include commands that specify the typeface, character size, character transformation, and the like. By performing the typesetting processing that collectively processes the typesetting data including the character data and the function, it is possible to create a composition such as a material, a document, a book, a leaflet advertisement.

When correcting the contents and typography of the typesetting data once created, the operator has searched for the character data or the function at the portion to be corrected on the display screen and made the correction.

[0004]

However, when the typesetting data is displayed on the screen, the character data and the function are displayed at the same time. A function is usually composed of multiple characters. In the character data that contains many functions, normal characters are buried in the function, making it difficult to see, and editing work cannot be performed with an image similar to the layout screen. It was easy to accidentally delete a part of the text, which would hinder the formatting results.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to make a mistake that an editing operation can be performed with an image closer to the layout screen and only a part of the function is deleted. An object of the present invention is to provide a typesetting data correction device that reduces the number of types.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a typesetting data correcting apparatus for correcting typesetting data which comprises character data and a function indicating an output attribute of the character data. It is a typesetting data correction device characterized by comprising a simple display means for simply displaying.

In the present invention, the function is simply displayed by using the simplified character string.
