Document processing apparatus having a ruled line print control function

A document processing apparatus having a ruled line print control function, comprising:

• input means for inputting character information, ruled line information including data of a straight line in a frame and instructions about printing;
• storage means operatively connected to said input means, for storing the character information and ruled line information;
• ruled line print control means, operatively connected to said input means and said storage means, for reading the ruled line information existing in a range to be printed from said storage means when instructions to print are applied from said input means and controlling the printing for every ruled line information;
• and
• printing means operatively connected to said ruled line print control means, for printing the character information and the ruled line information, said input means further comprising means for selecting among a plurality of printing modes, said plurality of printing modes comprising a full print mode and a limited print mode, wherein said ruled line print control means selects the ruled lines to make up a frame among the ruled line information read from said storage means, calculates the circumference of the frame, decides whether or not the circumference of the frame is below a specified length and whether or not character information exists in the frame made up of the ruled lines, and specifies the ruled lines as the ones that need to be printed, when the circumference of the frame is below the specified length or when the character information exists in the frame made up of the ruled lines.
