Method in word processing system for queuing cursored pages of a document.

摘要

The specification discloses a method for queuing selected pages of a document during a typing task for subsequent printing. For the performance of a typing task, such as creation or revision of a document, the operator specifies pages of the cursored document to be printed by hitting the print key (48). When the print key is it, page identification information representing the document name, the disk where the document is stored and the page number of the cursored page is sequentially stored in a page print queue in the system memory (50). When print task programs are later loaded into the system, information from the page print queue in the system memory is retrieved from the system and pages of the document corresponding to the page identification information are printed on a first-in, first-out basis.
