Give and receive. That is, the character string input as the conversion information is temporarily stored, the character string is written in the data input area of the simple format described later, and the simple format buffer 23a reads the modified simple format as the data modification destination, Document buffer
The modification source simple format document as the data modification source is read from 23b, and when the modification destination and modification source simple format are read, by referring to the keyword search table 23c described later, the modification source simple format Determines whether the fixed data is similar to the fixed data in the destination simple format, and when it is determined that the fixed data corresponds to the fixed data in the source simple format as the fixed data in the destination simple format Write in the data input area.

The display device 22 can be composed of, for example, a CRT or LCD.

The storage device 23 includes a simple format buffer 23a as a format storage means for storing a simple format, a document buffer 23b as a document storage means for storing text data, and a keyword search table 23c as a keyword storage means. .

As shown in FIG. 3, the simple format buffer 23a is composed of a fixed data area in which fixed data "name, address, zip code" are registered and a variable data input area corresponding to each of these items. In addition, a series of circles in the figure are flow symbols, and when a character string is input, it is replaced with the input character string.

As shown in FIG. 4, the keyword search table 23c is composed of keywords in the change-source simple format and keyword candidates. The keyword in this embodiment is an attribute (character) possessed by the fixed data in the simple format, and the keyword itself is not data.

As shown in the figure, for example, if "?" Is obtained as the keyword of the change source simple format, the keyword candidates are searched and the keyword of the change destination simple format is determined to be "postal code".

The printing device 24 can be configured by, for example, a thermal transfer printer or a dot impact printer.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the description, an address book will be taken as an example as shown in FIG.
