Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a document editing method capable of proofreading and searching for words in a document.

(Technical background of the invention and its problems) Recently, a lot of word processors have been developed and used in order to improve efficiency in document creation.

By the way, there is a conventional word processor that corrects a predetermined word in a created document while the user finds each word corresponding to the word and corrects it. It took time and was extremely ineffective.

Therefore, in order to improve such inconvenience, it is considered that a predetermined word / phrase in the document is corrected and then the same processing is performed on the corresponding word / phrase over all the pages thereafter.

However, in such a case, if the correction process for the corresponding phrase is performed on all pages, all the processes are completed at this point, so it is tentatively desired to confirm the correction state of the corrected portion after the completion of the correction process. In such a case, it is necessary to re-examine the correction start position while scrolling the screen again, which takes a lot of trouble.
Further, for example, even when there are a plurality of words to be corrected, the first position will be found again from the place where the correction of the first word has been completed, and the next word to be corrected can be corrected. However, the efficiency of the correction work in such a case is significantly reduced.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
Provides a document editing method that allows you to return to the first display screen in which the words to be corrected are specified after the correction processing in the correction range that is set arbitrarily and to confirm the processing result in the correction range easily The purpose is to do.

(Summary of the Invention) The first word / phrase to be corrected and the correction range are specified from the document displayed on the display screen for displaying the document, and the command for correcting the correction target is input to specify the first word / phrase. When the word to be corrected is corrected in the correction range and the correction process in the correction range is completed by this correction, the display returns to the first display screen in which the word to be corrected is designated.

(Effect of the invention) When the correction process for the correction target phrase in the correction range arbitrarily set is completed, the first correction portion of the correction target phrase can be easily found, and the processing result in the correction range is displayed. Confirmation can be done easily. Further, by returning to the first display screen in which the word to be corrected is designated by the end of the correction process in the correction range, for example, when there are a plurality of words to be corrected in the correction range, the last correction target At the same time as the correction of the phrase is completed, the initial display screen in which the phrase to be corrected is specified is returned to, so that it becomes possible to immediately start the proofreading of the next proofreading phrase, and the correction work is performed efficiently. be able to.

(Embodiment of the Invention) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of one device for carrying out the present invention, which specifies a display device 1 for displaying a document, for example, a CRT display, a word to be corrected or deleted, and a range of correction. A position specifying device 2 made of, for example, a mouse or a joystick, an input device 3 made of, for example, a function key or a keyboard for inputting a command for correction and a command relating to a macro function necessary for other processing, a created document,
A memory 4 for storing a word or phrase to be corrected, a correction range, a command, and the like, and a CP for controlling these.
It is composed of U5.

Next, the operation will be described.

Now, it is assumed that the document shown in FIG. 2A is displayed on the display device 1.

In this state, considering that a predetermined phrase in the document, for example, “measurement” is corrected to “measurement”, first, the position specifying device 2 is used to move the cursor and, for example, “measurement” in the first line in the document. Is located. As a result, the character string “measurement” and its position are stored in the memory 4. At this time, the first
A high-brightness display is provided to indicate that "measurement" on the line has been designated.

Next, a command relating to the macro function is input from the input device 3. That is, if the correction range is to be specified, a command instructing this is input. Then, assuming that the range of correction at this time is from the currently displayed page to the next page, the position designating device 2 is used to move the cursor to designate the uppermost end of the currently displayed page and the lowermost end of the next page. To Then, these positions are set as a correction range in the memory 4
Memorized in.

Next, the input device 3 inputs the correction word “measurement” together with the correction command instructing the correction, and further inputs the command instructing the execution of the process. Then, a series of commands relating to these corrections and words to be corrected are newly stored in the memory 4, whereby the "measurement" on the first line in the display of the display device 1 is "as shown in FIG. 2 (b). Corrected to "Measurement". Also, in this state, "Measurement" in the second line this time
Indicates that it is a new processing target.

Here, if the "measurement" in the first line is not corrected and only the search is desired, the command for displaying the correction may not be input by the input device 3 and the command for instructing the execution may be input. Good.

Similarly, in order to correct “measurement” on the second line to “measurement”, simply input a command instructing execution on the input device 3 to correct “measurement” on the second line to “measurement”. After that, “Measurement” on the third line is displayed with high brightness.

In this case, in order to skip the correction of “Measurement” on the second line and correct “Measurement” on the third line to “Measurement”, it is instructed to search for the next processing target from the input device 3. If the command is input, the "measurement" on the second line returns to the original brightness, and at the same time, the "measurement" on the third line becomes a new high brightness.

In addition, in order to make a correction, for example, deletion of “measurement” on the second line, which is different from that on the first line, a command instructing deletion is input from the input device 3. Then, the series of commands related to correction stored in the memory 4 are replaced with commands related to deletion. As a result, the second “measurement” in the display of the display device 1 is deleted and the display is as shown in FIG. 2C, and this time, the “measurement” on the third line is displayed with high brightness. Further, in this state, if a command instructing execution is input from the input device 3, the “measurement” on the third line is also deleted.

If the user wishes to cancel the deletion at this point, a command instructing the end is input from the input device 3, and the calibration ends when the processing for "measurement" on the third line is completed.

Then, when the processing for such “measurement” is completed for all of the calibration range designated in advance, based on the position information of the character string “measurement” on the first line in the display stored in the memory 4. , It will be possible to return to the first display screen in which the word to be corrected is designated, and in this state, it is possible to find the first correction portion and confirm the correction processing result.

In the above description, a command instructing execution of correction has been input for all the words “measurement”, but correction can be performed automatically. In this case, for example, a command for instructing automatic may be input after designating the calibration range, and then correction, deletion, etc. may be instructed. Also,
In the above-mentioned operation, if the operation of instructing the correction range is omitted, the CPU 5 determines all the documents as the correction range. As a result, all "measurements" in the document are subject to processing. First, the "measurement" is processed from the processing start page to the last page, and then the processing returns to the first page of the document and the above processing start page is processed. Become.

Therefore, according to such a configuration, when the correction process for the correction target word in the correction range arbitrarily set is completed, the first correction portion of the correction target phrase can be easily found, and thus the processing in the correction range is performed. The result can be easily confirmed. Further, by returning to the first display screen in which the word to be corrected is designated by the end of the correction process in the correction range, for example, even when there are a plurality of words to be corrected in the correction range, the first correction target At the same time as ending the correction of the phrase, it returns to the start position of the correction range,
The correction of the next word to be corrected can be immediately started, and the correction work can be efficiently performed. In addition, commands such as correction and deletion to change calibration contents, and commands for macro functions required for other processing can be used to perform various functions such as stopping during processing, automatically executing processing, and detecting the first processing point. It is possible to simplify the execution of the processing required for editing the obtained document, which greatly contributes to improving the efficiency of the document editing work.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be carried out by appropriately modifying it without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the above description, the word itself specified by the position specifying device is the object of calibration, but the object of calibration is stored by the relative position with the word specified by the position specifying device, and determined by the positional relationship with this word. The phrase to be displayed may be proofread and searched. Further, although the example applied to the Japanese word processor has been described above, the present invention can also be applied to an English word processor or a text editor.
