ABSTRACT:
A document processing device and method performs print position setting of an item content to be printed on a paper sheet, while ascertaining the appearance (layout) that the selected print position setting will produce if printed, by displaying the appearance on a display screen. In the document processing method and device, upon operation of a print key after the size of a paper sheet is stored in memory, plural item-titles, item signs (representing the item-titles) and a block cursor are displayed on an item-title displaying area of the display screen. At the same time the title displaying area is displayed, a paper-imitating area having an outline is also displayed on the display screen. By operating, for example, a cursor shift key and a space key, the block cursor is shifted within the title displaying area to select an item-title, and then the cursor is displayed within the paper-imitating area. Upon operation of, for example, a return key after the cursor is shifted to a desired position by operating, for example, the cursor shift key, an item sign corresponding to the selected item-title is displayed at the display position of the cursor in the paper-imitating area. A selected item content can then be printed on a paper sheet at a position on the paper corresponding to the position where the item sign is displayed in the paper-imitating area.
