The present invention allows a user to efficiently perform a setting operation in an automatic layout system. To accomplish this object, an information processing apparatus has the following configuration. An information processing apparatus having an automatic layout function includes a function for, in editing containers, measuring a distance between a first container placed on the document and a second container placed on the document (step S1102), determining whether or not the distance is equal to or shorter than a predetermined distance (step S1103), and if the distance is determined to be equal to or shorter than the predetermined distance, automatically setting the link between the first and second containers (step S1104). |
