ABSTRACT:
A document processing apparatus which can edit to a sheet which is displayed on a display screen. This apparatus includes: a format setting device to set format information regarding a character editing, a size information deciding device to decide size information in which an interval corresponding to the format information is used as a unit; a figure input device to input a figure on the same display screen as that upon the character editing; and a display controller for controlling the display such that the figure input by the figure input device is displayed in accordance with the size information decided by the size information deciding device. The size information includes a point train called grids serving as reference marks when inputting a figure. With this apparatus, characters, a figure, a picture, and a form can be input and edited to arbitrary positions on a document while observing the state of the print bound document without newly designating an area. One integrated document consisting of a plurality of pages in which characters, figures, pictures, and forms exist can be output by a single output instruction.
