An image registering apparatus which can register formed data without operating both of an image filing system and another system is provided. The image registering apparatus cooperatively operates an image filing application, a word processor application, and a filing system under the management of an operating system. In the case where the user who uses the image filing application registers a word processor document stored in the filing system into the image filing application, the file existing in the filing system is searched and whether the file is a word processor document or not is discriminated by an extension of the file. Subsequently, by an inter-process communicating function of the operating system, the image filing application starts the word processor application, forms an icon of the searched word processor document, and presents to a document list display window. By designating the presented icon, the user can register the word processor document. The operating efficiency can be improved. The double registration can be prevented.
