The CPU 12 includes a document data holding unit 13 for holding document data, a document data display processing unit 14 for displaying document data based on the contents held in the document data holding unit 13, and a user A specified area acquisition processing unit 15 for acquiring a specified area, and a specified area acquisition processing unit 1 from the document data held in the document data holding unit 13
And a character size acquisition processing unit 16 for acquiring the character size of the area acquired by
A character size holding unit 17 for holding the character size acquired by the tool, and a tool for the user to refer to and change the character size when editing the document (hereinafter referred to as "size box")
The size box operation processing unit 18 that executes a process for the operation performed, the character size information held in the character size holding unit 17, and the information displayed in the size box from the result of the size box operation processing unit 18 are determined. A size box display information determination processing unit 19, a size box display processing unit 20 that displays the information determined by the size box display information determination processing unit 19, and a document based on the processing result of the size box display processing unit 20. It has a character size setting processing unit 21 for setting the character size in the data.

In the following, regarding character strings including different character sizes, that is, "specifying regions including different character sizes in a document" shown in FIG. 3, a character string having one kind of character size, "different", is specified. A case of performing and a case of specifying four types of different character sizes, that is, “areas including different character sizes” will be described. In the figure,
The character size of part "A" that is "different" is 18 points, and the character size of part B that is "character" is 32 points,
The character size of the portion C called "size" is 9 points, and the character size of other portions is 12 points.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the document processing procedure of the present invention. This program is executed by the CPU 12. When specifying a range of character strings of one kind of character size of "different", the user uses the keyboard 3 or PD4 in step S1 to range the character strings of "different" in the document data as shown in FIG. specify. Next, in step S2, the character size acquisition processing unit 16 searches the character string area from the document data held in the document data holding unit 13 and acquires the character size information as a list. In the following step S3, the list is the character size. It is held by the holding unit 17. Then, in step S4, it is determined whether or not the number of elements in the character size list is one.
If the character strings are “different”, there is one type of character size list, so the process proceeds to step S5, and as shown in FIG. 6, “18.0” which is the number of points of the character size is set in the side box (see FIG. (Indicated by D in the middle), and the process ends.

On the other hand, in the case of designating the range of four different character sizes "regions containing different character sizes", the character string "region containing different character sizes" is designated in range in step S1 as shown in FIG. Similarly to the above, the processing of step S2 and step S3 is executed, and step S
In step 4, it is determined whether the number of elements in the character size list is one. Then, in this case, the range-specified character string has four types of character sizes (9 points, 12 points, 18 points, and 32 points), and therefore the process proceeds to step S6, and as shown in FIG. The character "undefined" is displayed in (indicated by D in the middle) to indicate that the state is undefined. Next, in step S7, the user presses either the up button 22 or the down button 23 of the size box, and in step S8, it is determined whether or not the up button 22 is pressed. Then, when the up button 22 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S9, and as shown in FIG. 9, the point size of the minimum character size among the character sizes held in the character size holding unit 17 is “9.0”. Is displayed in the side box (indicated by D in the figure), and in step S11, the character size of the document data is set based on the processing result of the size box display processing unit 20 in the character size setting processing unit 21. The character size held in the document data holding unit 13 is changed. And step S
In 12, the document data display processing unit 14 performs display processing, and as shown in FIG. 10, the character string “area including different character sizes” is displayed on the display device 1 with the minimum character size (9 points) displayed in the size box. It is displayed (step S9), and the process ends.

On the other hand, in step S8, the down button 2
When 3 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S10, and as shown in FIG. 11, the maximum character size point number “32.0” is selected from the character sizes held in the character size holding unit 17 in the size box. (Indicated by D in the figure), and in step S11, the character size setting processing unit 21
At, the character size of the document data is set based on the processing result of the size box display processing unit 20, and the character size held in the document data holding unit 13 is changed. Then, in step S12, display processing is performed by the document data display processing unit 14, and as shown in FIG.
The maximum character size (32 points) displayed in the size box for the character string "area containing different character sizes"
Is displayed on the display device 1 (step S10), and the process ends.

FIG. 13 is a main part flowchart of the second embodiment, which is a modification of steps S7 to S10 of the first embodiment.

That is, when processing the character string "area including different character sizes", step S6 in FIG.
When a character indicating "undefined" is displayed in the size box in step S21, the user presses the button 24 to request the menu display of the character size in the size box, as shown in FIG. The menu stored in the character size storage unit 17 is displayed with. Then, the PD4 or the like is further operated to select a desired character size, for example, the character size "18.0" (step S2
3) Then, the size box display processing unit 20 performs a predetermined display process to display the selected value, that is, 18 points, in the size box as shown in FIG. The display is performed, and the process ends (steps S11 and S12).

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, although the character size is used as the attribute information in the above embodiment, it is needless to say that it can be applied to other attribute information, that is, character spacing, line spacing, and the like.
