A document output apparatus outputs a document made up of plural cells in such a manner that either the characters entered in cells or the backgrounds of the cells are colored in accordance with the kinds of data assigned to the cells. The document output apparatus has plural color tables, and each of these color tables stores plural color information corresponding to respective values of the data. When one of the color tables is designated, color information corresponding to the values of the cells are retrieved from the designated color table. The cells are drawn in the colors defined in the designated color table. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate the need to define color information for each of the cells of the document.
