Document processing apparatus

摘要

A document processing apparatus permitting simplified manipulation for designing a postcard or card and making it possible to create any design readily by visually grasping information on a display screen. The document processing apparatus includes a memory unit for storing layout data and part data and a document/design processing unit. The document/design processing unit displays at least one layout and a list of parts in a screen of a display on the basis of data stored in the memory unit. When one part is selected from a list of parts, the document/design processing unit inserts the part into associated fields in all layouts displayed in a layout area. When part attribute change information for changing the attribute of parts displayed in a parts list area into another attribute is input, the document/design processing unit changes the part attribute of all parts contained in a displayed list of parts into the other attribute.
