A computer-readable recording medium on which a program is recorded, said program causing a computer to operate as a system comprising:

• a document data acquiring part for acquiring document data;
• a character string extracting part for extracting character strings satisfying a predetermined condition for character string extraction from said document data acquired by said document data acquiring part;
• a format creating part for deriving the respective features of said character strings extracted by said character string extracting part, and for creating a format containing the derived features in the form of data;
• a display part on which said character strings extracted by said character string extracting part are displayed in a list form, and on which the format created by the format creating part is displayed;
• and
• a format correcting part for correcting said format,
• said program causing said character string extracting part to extract character strings again to conform to the format corrected by said format correcting part.
