ABSTRACT:
A layout display control system for a document processing apparatus wherein dimensional information of a table is displayed together with the layout of a table to allow the user to recognize specific dimensions of the outer profile of the table when the layout of the table is displayed. Ruled-line data including vertical and horizontal ruled lines are inputted to assemble a table through movement of a cursor on a display. The inputted data is stored in a memory in association with the display positions on the display. When a layout of the table is to be displayed, the data is read out of the memory and is converted to layout data to display the layout of the table. To simultaneously display the dimensional information of the table, at least width and height of an outer profile of the table is calculated based on the data stored in the memory and the dimensions of the outer profile of the table is displayed with specific numerals. Therefore, the user can readily determine whether the table can be printed on a sheet of print paper or not.
