DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited by this.

Conventionally, when a multi-page document is input, the operator has to determine the remaining capacity of the document and perform a registration operation. Therefore, in the present invention, when a document is input, if a certain capacity is exceeded, the screen automatically shifts to a registration screen. Then, the status of the page is checked. If the last page is being input, the data of the previous page is registered. When the registration is completed, the part is deleted and the input is continued.

Conventionally, it is necessary to designate a registration number or a registered name for each registration, but in the present case, the registration number / registered name is automatically updated from the previously inputted registration number / registered name, thereby saving the trouble of re-input.

In order to distinguish these operations from the conventional registration function, the description will be made with the name of "continuous registration".

Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 1, inputting and editing a document are the same operations as in a normal word processor. Switching between normal registration mode and continuous registration mode is performed by setting various conditions (in a word processor, it is common to incorporate it into own flow condition setting).

In normal operation, the user does not press the registration key to start the registration operation. However, in the continuous registration mode, the mode automatically changes to the registration mode when the input document exceeds a certain number. When the called document is corrected or the registration is forcibly performed, the registration key is pressed in the same manner as the normal registration to set the registration mode. When the user subsequently inputs a document, the user enters the continuous registration mode by pressing the continuation key of the function.

In the continuous registration, when an input is made and the number of documents exceeds a predetermined value, a registration mode is set. (Step S5 in FIG. 1) In the registration, the contents of the document are checked, and if the last page is in the middle of input, the page is omitted and registration is performed. When the registration is completed, the registered portion is deleted and the mode is changed to the document input mode.
(Step S6 in FIG. 1) In the case of the first registration, the registration number / registration name is specified by the user, but the registration number / registration name is automatically set for the second and subsequent times. (Step S10 in FIG. 1) FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the document processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In step S1, a new document is created. In step S2, a switch is made as to whether or not to select a continuous mode for continuously registering the created documents. When an operation of calling a previously created document is performed in step S3, the document is called in step S4.
In this case, by continuously inputting a document, when the number of input documents becomes equal to or more than a predetermined value, a continuous registration mode in which a registration mode is automatically set can be selected. This is step S5. This step S5 corresponds to claim 1 of the present invention.
Invention.

Next, in step S6, in response to the fact that the created document information has exceeded a certain document capacity, the state of the last page of the document information is searched. Register up to the previous page as the range to be registered,
When the registration is completed, the display of the registered portion is deleted, and the automatic registration mode for automatically registering is selected. This step S6 is the second aspect of the present invention.

Further, in step S7, it is detected whether or not there is a continuation document. In step S8, the next document is called. In step S9, a document is created.
If registered in step S10, the previously registered name is displayed and registered along with the list display. This is the invention of claim 3 of the present invention.

In step S11, a document is further created and input. In step S12, a document is registered, and in step S13
Ends the processing operation.
