Proofreading device, method for proofreading document, and computer readable recording medium storing proofreading control program

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a proofreading control program which is executed on a proofreading device, wherein the proofreading device is configured to be able to accept a proofreader's mark and stores in advance:

• at least two proofreader's mark sets including:
• a first proofreader's mark set having a plurality of proofreader's marks according to a first proofreader's mark rule;
• and
• a second proofreader's mark set having a plurality of proofreader's marks according to a second proofreader's mark rule, wherein each of the at least two proofreader's mark set is in correspondence to an attribute of a user;
• and
• a set of intermediate marks for making proofreader's marks having the same meaning among the proofreader's mark sets correspond to each other,
• the proofreading control program is for making the proofreading device execute:
• a first step for recognizing a proofreader's mark added to a document by a first user, converting the added proofreader's mark into the intermediate mark, and storing in association with the document the converted intermediate mark as a first intermediate mark;
• a second step for identifying an attribute of a logged-in second user;
• a third step for selecting a proofreader's mark set, depending on the identified attribute of the second user from the at least two proofreader's mark sets stored in advance;
• and
• a fourth step for converting the stored first intermediate mark into a proofreader's mark of the proofreader's mark set selected in the fourth step and for displaying on a display section the converted proofreader's mark as a second proofreader's mark together with the document.

A method for proofreading a document by using a proofreading device including:

• a user attribute identification section configured to identify an attribute of a user who has logged-in the proofreading device;
• a storage section configured to store, in correspondence to the attribute of the user, a proofreader's mark set having a plurality of proofreader's marks according to a proofreader's mark rule, and configured to store an intermediate mark set including a plurality of intermediate marks each for making a plurality of proofreader's marks correspond to each other;
• a proofreader's-mark-set selection section configured to select, from proofreader's mark sets stored in the storage section, a proofreader's mark set corresponding to an attribute of an user;
• a proofreader's mark conversion section configured to convert an intermediate mark into a proofreader's mark;
• and
• a display section,
• the method comprising the steps of:
• (a) causing the user attribute identification section to identify an attribute of a user who has logged-in the proofreading device;
• (b) storing at least two proofreader's mark sets in the storage section, with each proofreader's mark set being in correspondence to the attribute of the user, the at least two proofreader's mark sets including:
• a first proofreader's mark set having a plurality of proofreader's marks according to a first proofreader's mark rule;
• and
• a second proofreader's mark set having a plurality of proofreader's marks according to a second proofreader's mark rule;
• (c) storing in the storage section an intermediate mark set including a plurality of intermediate marks for making the proofreader's marks having the same meaning among the plurality of proofreader's mark sets correspond to each other,
• (d) causing the proofreader's-mark-set selection section to select, from the at least two proofreader's mark sets, a proofreader's mark set corresponding to the attribute of the user identified in step (a);
• (e) recognizing the first proofreader's mark added to the document by a first user, causing the proofreader's mark conversion section to convert the recognized proofreader's mark into the intermediate mark, and storing in the storage section the converted intermediate mark as a first intermediate mark, in association with the document;
• (f) causing, when a second user has logged-in the proofreading device, the proofreader's-mark-set selection section to select the proofreader's mark set corresponding to the second user on the basis of an attribute of the second user;
• (g) causing the proofreader's mark conversion section to convert, as a second proofreader's mark, the first intermediate mark stored in step (e) into a proofreader's mark of the proofreader's mark set selected in step (f);
• and
• (h) displaying on the display section the second proofreader's mark converted in step (g) together with the document.
