ABSTRACT:
A word processor with an automatic layout function which automatically moves a possible figure, related to a text of a document to be moved in an automatic layout process, in conjunction with the movement of the text. For example, when a text surrounded in a horizontally long rectangular frame figure and related in position to the figure is to be shifted rightward, a CPU analyses the layout structure of the document the data on which is stored in a document memory 12-1, stores data on the result of the analysis in an analysis data buffer 12-3 and determines whether the result of the analysis meets layout rules the data on which is set in an edition rule dictionary memory 12-2. In this case, if the text data does not meet the layout rules and the text data is to be moved rightward, the horizontally long frame figure related in position to the text is also moved automatically rightward in conjunction with the movement of the text. In summary, when the text is to be moved in an automatic layout process, the figure also is moved automatically in conjunction with the movement of the text.
