<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image-forming apparatus which can adequately display an image-forming function desired by a user. <P>SOLUTION: When a user presses, for example, a character input key 245 corresponding to the Japanese Hiragana character "Ke" (vertical bar and cross with a space in between), the Hiragana character "Ke" is displayed in an inputted-character item, and the names of image-forming functions whose first letters are the Japanese Hiragana character "Ke" are retrieved from stored names, and the image-forming functions associated with the corresponding names are displayed in a list form in a candidate list 249. In more detail, an image-forming function, which is called "combination (integration)", is displayed in the candidate list 249. That is, in this case, a "integration function" is displayed as an image-forming function, and the name "combination" is related to the "integration function". In other words, the "integration function" is displayed based on the name "combination" in the candidate list. By this, an image-forming function desired by a user is adequately displayed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
