Abstract
If the color of a character is modified, for example, from “black” to “blue”, “” is inputted and a conversion key is pressed. In this case, although “”etc., is displayed as in usual kana/kanji conversion, “” is displayed in blue if “” is also set as a control code. If this is selected, “” inputted before is recognized to be a control code instructing to set the color of characters to “blue”, the character stringy “” is deleted and subsequent inputted characters are displayed in blue. If a color printer is used, the characters which are displayed in blue can be printed in blue.
