PURPOSE:To omit the resetting of an input mode for each change of areas by providing an area where the sizes, types and qualification of characters are defined. CONSTITUTION:A document editing device consists of an input part 1, a sentence converting part 4, a conversion result output part 5, an area defining part 2, and an area-based mode memory part 3. The part 2 stores the areas 13-15 designated in a document via the upper left and lower right coordinates together those area names. The part 3 stores the character sizes like the en, em, etc., the character types like KATAKANA (square form of Japanese syllabary), KANJI (Chinese characters), KANA (Japanese syllabary), alphamerics, etc., and character qualification information including underlines, halftone process, embossed characters, etc. A sentence is inputted via the part 1 and a sentence conversion indicating key is pushed based on the information on the size, the type and the qualification of the corresponding character. Thus a specific area where a cursor is positioned is checked with reference to the part 2 and the name of said area is retrieved. Then the part 4 converts the input sentence from the area name based on the information on the size, the type and the qualification of the character stored in the part 3. The result of the sentence conversion is outputted to the part 5.
