Any character data displayed on the screen is specified on the display screen by the character position input section 10, and the position of the specified character in the typesetting data buffer 3 is determined by the position determining section 1).

The character data in the typesetting data buffer 3 is subjected to character proofing processing such as correction, deletion, and insertion by the proofreading processing unit 12. The formatted data subjected to character proofreading is outputted to the formatted data file 1 by the data input/output unit 2 for storage.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional formatting data control systems are configured as described above, so only one formatting data can be flowed into each designated area, and multiple formatting data can be continuously flowed into one area. There were problems such as the impossibility of pouring it in.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to obtain a control system for formatting data that makes it possible to continuously flow a plurality of formatting data into one area. .

[Means for solving problems]

The formatting data control system according to the present invention includes an in-area last line position storage section for storing the position where designated formatting data has been poured for each area designated by the region specifying section, and a data input/output section having a plurality of This adds a function that allows continuous input/output of typesetting data.

[Effect]

Since the in-area last line position storage unit in this invention stores the position where the forme data has been poured for each area, it is possible to detect the last line position when the forme data ends in the middle of the area. On the other hand, the process of continuous pouring of the formatting data within the area where the formatting data consecutively specified by the data input/output section is successively poured from immediately after the last line position is controlled by the formatting processing section.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the same parts as in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Reference numeral 2 denotes a data input/output unit for inputting and outputting a plurality of format data to and from the format data buffer 3 in a predetermined order.

5B is an allocation order designation part that designates the order of areas for consecutively pouring a plurality of format data stored in the format data buffer 3 into the multiple areas designated by the area designation part 5A; 13 is an allocation order designation part for each area; An in-area final line position storage unit 4 stores the typesetting data poured into each area and the last line position of the typesetting data; , when the relevant formatting data ends within the area, the final line position of the formatting data is stored in the area last line position storage unit 13, and based on the stored data in this area final line position storage unit 13, the next line position is stored. Formatting data to be input into the formatting data buffer 3 is inputted into the formatting data buffer 3, and the formatting processing unit 4 restarts the formatting from the line next to the last line position stored.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of pouring formatting data into areas. First, the order in which the format data is poured into the areas is area P1, area P2, and area P3, and this order is specified by the layout order specifying section 5B. Next, there are two types of format data A and B that are to be poured into each area, and the order in which the format data A and B are successively poured is the format data Al, A2, and the format data B1, B2. The order of the formatting data is also specified by the layout order specification section. The data input/output unit 2 manually inputs the formatting data AI, A2, and Bl, B2 from the formatting data file 1 according to the designated order, and stores them in the formatting data buffer 3. The formatting processing unit 4 executes a process of pouring formatting data in the order of designated areas. In the figure, typesetting data A is divided into areas P1 and P2 as AI and A2, respectively, and poured into them. In this case, in area P2, the final row position l is stored in the in-area final row position storage section 13.

Subsequently, the typesetting processing unit 4 inputs the typesetting data Bl to be poured next specified by the layout order specifying unit 5B from the typesetting data buffer 3, and inputs the area number P2 and the area number stored in the last line position storage unit 13. The final line position β is read, and the flow of the formatting data B1 is resumed from the line next to the final line position l.

As described above, even if the loading of the paper version data ends in the middle of an arbitrary area, it becomes possible to load the next specified formatting data following the last line.

In addition, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which two types of formatted data are successively poured into one area, but when three or more types of formatted data are successively poured into one area, the last line in the area is This can be easily achieved by increasing the number of final row positions that can be stored in the position storage section 13.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, an area last line position storage unit is added to the conventional typesetting system, and the stored last line position can be read and resumed, so that continuous writing can be done in one area. This makes it possible to input multiple types of formatting data, which has the effect of allowing more flexible formatting.
