The continuous number of black lines in scanning lines is checked, and when the continuous number is a prescribed value or above, the black line area is regarded as the diagram/list area. The graphic/list area is separated and contracted, many diagrams are simultaneously displayed on a display and an objective page including the diagram can be accessed by retrieving one of the many diagrams with a light pen or the like.
