Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus for adding a page break or a line feed to a plurality of document data which is divided into a plurality of sections, such as chapters, sections, and sections, at a section between the section units.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, page breaks or line feeds have been performed in the following two systems.

One is a method of directly inputting a page break control code (page break symbol) indicating a page break at a position where a page break is desired in a created document.

[0004] The other is from the overflow from the page,
This is the method of moving to the next page.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned conventional system has the following problems.

[0006] In the former method, the appearance of a page changes when characters or lines are added or deleted. There was a troublesome problem that the position of the page break symbol had to be changed each time in order to change the page break to fit the page format. Also, when dividing one chapter into a plurality of pages, if it is desired to start from the position of the title of the chapter reduced by the line width on the second and subsequent pages, a line feed control code indicating a line feed at the first line of the second page (New line symbol).

In the latter method, for example, the first line of the second and subsequent pages may be a line containing only a line feed symbol inserted to separate chapters, and at that time, the first line of the page is replaced by one line. There was a problem that it looked down.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use document creating apparatus which solves the above problem and automatically corrects the position of a page break.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use document creating apparatus in which line feed correction of the second page is automatically performed.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there are provided characters, symbols,
An input unit for inputting data elements forming a chart, etc., a storage unit for storing document data composed of the input data elements, a display unit for displaying the document data stored in the storage unit, and a storage unit for storing in the storage unit And a control unit for controlling the printing unit, wherein the printing unit prints the generated document data, and the input unit, the display unit, and the control unit for controlling the printing unit. Page break position information input control unit for inputting page break position information (including break line feed position information) to be attached to the first data element that comes at the break between section units in the document data to be processed; And a page break position control unit for determining a page break position in accordance with (1).

Thus, the first document data which comes into the delimiter between the division units in the document data which is divided into a plurality of division units such as chapters, sections and divisions without directly inputting a page break symbol into the document. Since the page break position (including line break) is automatically determined according to the page break position information attached to the data element, it is not necessary to manually correct the page break position every time the content of the document changes. is there.

There is 0.

In the following description, it is assumed that the document data is divided into a plurality of division units (chapter) constituted by a plurality of lines by specifying a range. For the sake of simplicity, all lines have the same value.

FIG. 2 shows a page break position information input control unit 14.
31 illustrates a page break position input screen 31. A break 2100 from the previous chapter is a designation of a break between chapters, and one of a plurality of line feeds 2110 and page breaks 2120 can be selected.

Further, when a plurality of line feeds 2110 are selected, a page break 2111 can be designated when the next page starts from the current line. The first line 2200 of the second and subsequent pages of the chapter is designated by the position of the first line of the second and subsequent pages of the chapter, and is lowered by the first line of the chapter.
0. In addition, a line having only the first line feed is invalidated 2220. Each of these can be specified.

When the lowering by the first line of the chapter (2210) is designated, the first line of the second page and subsequent pages of the chapter is set to a position lowered by the space between the first line of the chapter. If invalidation (2220) is specified for the first line including only a line feed, the space between lines is set to 0 when the first line is a line including only a new line, and the description items of the data elements following the new line are described in the first line. The application range 2300 can be selected from the application 2310 for all chapters and the application 2320 for only this chapter by specifying the application range of the above setting.

FIG. 3 shows a page break position information input control unit 14.
31 is a flowchart illustrating a processing flow of a page break position determination control unit 1432 that determines a page break position based on page break position information designated by No. 31. The page break position information includes a plurality of line breaks 2110 and a page break 21 described above.
It contains 20 pieces of information and is arbitrarily selected and used.

First, in step 3100, it is determined whether or not a break 2100 from the previous chapter is specified.
170, if it is a line feed for a plurality of lines, the flow branches to step 3110. In step 3110, the number of line feeds to be inserted at the break is obtained (the number of line feeds is assumed to be A). Step 3
At 120, when the next page starts from the current line and overflows to the next page, the designation of a page break is determined. If there is a designation, step 3130 branches to step 3180; In step 3130, the number of lines per page is obtained (the number of lines / page is B). In step 3140, the position of the last line of the previous chapter of the current page is obtained (the last line position of the previous chapter of the current page is C). Step 3150
Then, the number of lines in the current chapter is obtained (the number of lines in the current chapter is D). In step 3160, it is determined whether the current chapter overflows from the current page (B <A + C + D). If it overflows, the flow branches to step 3170; In step 3170, a page break is inserted.
In step 3180, A line breaks are inserted. Next,
In step 3200, the first line on the second and subsequent pages of the chapter is set as the first line. In step 3210, it is determined whether or not to specify 2210 to lower by the first line of the chapter of the first line 2200 of the second and subsequent pages of the chapter. If there is, the process branches to step 3220, and if not, to step 3300. Step 322
In the case of 0, the first line on the second and subsequent pages of the chapter is the second line.
Finally, in step 3300, only the first line feed of the first line 2200 of the second and subsequent pages of the chapter is invalidated.
20 is determined, and if specified, step 3310 is executed.
If not specified, branch to the end. In step 3310, the current value is set to 1. In step 3320, the current configuration is determined. If the line feed is only a line feed, step 3330 is performed. In step 3330, the current line width is set to 0. In step 3340, the current is updated by +1.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show that a new line 2110 for three lines, a new line 2111 when the next page starts from the current line, a lower line 2210 for the first line of a chapter, and a line with only the first line feed are invalid. 13 shows a page layout when the user designates 2220 to be executed. When a line is added to the first chapter in the state of FIG. 4, the chapter break changes from three line breaks to a page break as shown in FIG. Conversely, if a line is deleted from the first chapter in the state of FIG. 5, the chapter break changes from a page break to three line breaks as shown in FIG. In both FIGS. 4 and 5, the second page starts from the second line down from the first line of the first chapter. Further, in FIG. 5, since the first line of the second page has only a line feed, the line width becomes 0, and the second line is a line other than the line feed.
