ABSTRACT:
A document processing apparatus to affix an identification mark (i.e., bookmark) to document information including character data, image data, etc. When an add command to affix an identification mark to a desired information location in the document information displayed on a display device is received from a command entry device, an identification mark affixing device causes a storage device to store an information location (i.e., a line in a page of the document information) to which the identification mark is to be affixed, as identification mark information. When a select command is received from the command entry device, to select a desired one of identification marks displayed on the display device, an identification mark searching device searches the identification mark information for the information location corresponding to the selected identification mark. When supplied with the add command or the select command, a display control device displays a portion of the document information to which the identification mark is affixed, at a particular position on the screen of the display device, together with the identification mark on a single screen. When a delete command to delete a desired one of the affixed identification marks is received, an identification mark deleting device deletes the information location corresponding to the identification mark to be deleted from the identification mark information.
