A document processing method, upon preparing or editing a compound document, eliminate the need for repeating such operations as to start one of application programs associated with one of child documents of the compound document and to select its function from a menu or the like of the application program with respect to all the child documents. A system for preparing the compound document has tables which holds correspondence relationships between the function and command names, argument names and argument values determined for the respective application programs for calling the function. When receiving a command for editing a parent document, the system generates a command to the embedded child document on the basis of the correspondence relationships and also executes the received command even over the other embedded document.
