ABSTRACT:
An object of the invention is to provide a form processing technique relating to the outputting of a tabular-format object in a form generated by entering field data into a field, wherein the technique makes it possible to generate a form having an attractive appearance irrespective of the amount of data in the field data. To attain this object, a form processing program according to the invention has functions for determining whether a setting has been made to link and output the output position of the object to the output position of a variable-length table that will be output on a form; acquiring an offset value of the linked object if it has been determined that a setting has been made to link and output the output position of the object; and deciding and outputting the output position of the object based upon the output position of the variable-length table and the offset value. The program further includes a function for setting the form file of the form based upon an indication from the user in such a manner that the object will be linked to the table and then output, and a function for storing the setting that has been made.
