Document processing apparatus for correcting address and format information of document information up to a designated page

A document processing system comprising:

• first memory means for storing document information comprising a plurality of characters;
• second memory means for storing format information of the document information stored in said first memory means;
• third memory means for storing address information of the document information and the format information stored in said first and second memory means, respectively, said third memory means storing the address information together in at least one page unit;
• indicating means for indicating an end of inputting of the characters of the document information stored in said first memory means into the system;
• and
• control means for controlling said second and third memory means and correcting means to correct the format information and address information in response to the indicating by said indicating means,
• wherein said control means controls said second and third memory means and type-setting means such that type-setting is executed by the type-setting means electronically for the document information read out of said first memory means by reading means.

A document processing system comprising:

• first memory means for storing document information comprising a plurality of pages of document information of a plurality of characters;
• second memory means for storing format information of the document information stored in said first memory means;
• third memory means for storing address information of the document information and the format information stored in said first and second memory means, respectively, said third memory means storing the address information together in at least one page unit;
• determining means for determining whether a given instruction is for ending input of characters into said system to be stored as document information in said first memory means or for designating a page of the document information stored in said first memory means;
• and
• control means for controlling said second and third memory means and correcting means to correct the format information and address information when said determining means determines that the given instruction is for ending input of characters into said system, and for controlling type-setting means and said first, second, and third memory means so that type-setting is executed electronically by the type-setting means for the document information read out of said first memory means by reading means on the basis of the format information and the address information up to a page determined by the given instruction to be a designated page when said determining means determines that the given instruction is for designating a page.

A method of reading out document information comprising a plurality of pages comprising characters stored in a first memory, format information of the document information being stored in a second memory, and address information of the document information and the format information being stored in a third memory, said third memory storing the address information together in at least one page unit, comprising the steps of:

• designating a given page comprising a document information in the first memory whose format is defined by the format information stored in said second memory;
• reading out the information of the given page designated in said designating step and stored in said first memory;
• and
• controlling, in response to the designating performed in said designating step, the first, second, and third memories and type-setting means and correcting means such that the document information and the format information and the address information of the document information up to the designated given page is corrected by the correcting means and type-set by the type-setting means electronically for the document information read out in said reading step.

A method for processing document information comprising a plurality of characters stored in a first memory, format information of the document information being stored in a second memory, and address information of the document information and the format information being stored in a third memory, said third memory storing the address information together in at least one page unit, comprising the steps of:

• indicating an end of inputting of the characters of the document information into the first memory;
• controlling the second and third memories to correct the format information and the address information in response to the indicating performed in said indicating step;
• reading out the document information stored in the first memory;
• and
• controlling the first, second, and third memories and type-setting means such that type-setting is executed electronically by the type-setting means for the document information read out in said reading step.
