ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a tabulation device which may both automatically determine the line spacing of grid structure of a table and automatically line breaking text string in a cell, with less computing costs. In this device for retaining grid structure retains the relationship of the relative position of cells in a table and the text strings to be laid out to each cell. Text field size threshold retains, with respect to each text string, discontinuous points in the line-breaking function as the threshold value of the size of text field. Table layout selects one of the corresponding threshold values from within the text field size threshold for the text string to be laid out, and storing in text field size retaining unit as the size of text field to perform the layout. Layout evaluating evaluates the allocation results of the table from the size of text field in the text field size retaining unit and directs table allocating to reallocate if requirements are not satisfied.
