Abstract

The document information management system according to the present invention includes a hypertext preparing unit for preparing a hypertext. A file unit storing therein correlated information files. A medium form information preparing unit for prepares a medium for information from information in the hypertext. A medium form output unit outputs the recording paper as a medium form. A selection information adding unit adds selection information. A reader reads the selection information and linkage information from the medium form. A retrieving unit retrieves an appropriate correlated information file, and an output unit for outputs the correlated information file retrieved by the retrieving unit.
