Abstract
An information processing method and apparatus are provided which are capable of processing form data in which fields are defined and each of the fields contains record data. The method includes specifying fields in which at least one break is set from the field being contained in form data, in a case where print and break changing instruction is input. The method further includes obtaining a change instruction from an operator for changing break settings for at least one of the fields specified and inserting a break instruction at a place where a data break occurs in the field for which the break setting is set.
Claims11
An information processing method for processing form data in which a plurality of fields are defined, the fields including record data, the method comprising:
- specifying fields in which a break setting is set when print and break changing instructions are input;
- obtaining a change instruction from an operator for changing a break setting for at least one of the specified fields;
- and
- inserting a break instruction at a position where a data break occurs in the field for which the break setting is set.
An information processing apparatus configured to process form data in which fields are defined and contain record data, the apparatus comprising:
- a specifying unit configured to specify fields in which at least one break is set when print and break changing instructions are input;
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain a change instruction from an operator for changing a break setting for at least one of the specified fields;
- and
- an inserting unit configured to insert a break instruction at a position where a data break occurs in the field for which the break setting is set.
A computer executable readable medium containing computer-executable instructions for processing form data in which fields are defined and contain record data, the medium comprising:
- computer-executable instructions for specifying fields in which at least one break is set when print and break changing instructions are input;
- computer-executable instructions for obtaining a change instruction from an operator for changing break settings for at least one of the specified fields;
- and
- computer-executable instructions for inserting a break instruction at a position where a data break occurs in the field for which the break setting is set.
