ABSTRACT:
An output apparatus includes input apparatus for inputting at least space information and character information; a memory for storing output data corresponding to the input information to be output; an additional information memory for storing additional information, such as underline information, to be added to the output data; a distinction unit for determining whether or not the memory stores the output data when space data is input; and a unit for inhibiting a readout operation of the data output from the additional information memory when the distinction unit determines that the output data is not stored in the memory. The output apparatus further includes a readout unit for reading out the output data from the memory and reading out the additional information from the additional information memory as needed; and an output unit for carrying out an output operation based on the readout data, such that, for example, underline information is added only to space information positioned between information corresponding to two characters, and only a space positioned between two characters is underlined.
