Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically retrieve the character strings out of a documents, to automatically sort the index character strings, and to automatically output the character strings to an index output position and therefore to reduce the working load of an editor by inputting the character strings to be listed in an index to a position designated in the document or a position to which the index is outputted. CONSTITUTION:A character string 2-1 to be listed in an index is designated in a document 2-2 via an index designated character string designation processing 1-1. An index output position 2-3 is designated via an index output position designation processing 1-2. Then an index designated character string 2-4 is previously inputted to the position 2-3 via an index designated character string input processing 1-3. The character string 2-1 is extracted to the position 2-3 out of the document 2-2 via an index designated character string extraction processing 1-4. Then both character strings 2-1 and 2-4 are sorted in the index listing order and the character strings 2-5 and 2-6 equal to the strings 2-1 and 2-4 are retrieved out of the document 2-2. The emerging positions 2-7 and 2-8 of both strings 2-5 and 2-6 are outputted to the position 2-3 after the strings 2-1 and 2-4. Thus the working load of an editor is reduced.

る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document editing method that outputs character strings and their appearance positions in a document as an index, particularly to word processors and the like.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来の文書編集方式は、検索文字列指定処理と指定され
た文字列の検索処理とを含んでいた。索引を作成する場
合には、索引に載せる文字列を検索文字列として指定し
、検索処理を行い、その文字列と出現位置とを編集者が
索引として入力して行っていた。Conventional document editing methods have included search character string designation processing and search processing for the designated character string. When creating an index, an editor specifies a character string to be included in the index as a search character string, performs a search process, and inputs the character string and appearance position as an index.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

上述した従来の文書編集方式では、索引を作成する場合

検索を行い、索引出力位置に検索結果をソートして入力
しなければならず、作業が煩雑であるという欠点があっ
た。また、索引作成後に文書を編集してページがずれた
場合には、再び作業を繰り返さなければならないという
欠点があった。In the conventional document editing method described above, when creating an index, the editor extracts the character string to be included in the index from the document,
This method has the disadvantage that it is complicated to perform a search, sort the search results, and input them into the index output position. Another disadvantage is that if a document is edited after the index is created and a page is misaligned, the work must be repeated again.
