ABSTRACT:
A user can efficiently perform a setting operation in an automatic layout system. An information processing apparatus having an automatic layout function includes a function for, in editing containers, measuring a distance between a first container placed on the document and a second container placed on the document, determining whether or not the distance is equal to or shorter than a predetermined distance, and if the distance is determined to be equal to or shorter than the predetermined distance, automatically setting the link between the first and second containers.
