A word processor for setting a format of a text, having a format controller for controlling a newly set format to be effective from the beginning of a character data group to which the position where the format setting operation is carried out belongs, and a reformatter for reforming at least the character data group based upon the newly set format. The word processor searches backward and forward in the text for locating line feed codes designating the beginning and end of the character data group, respectively, and selects the beginning and end of the text when the line feed codes could not be located.

Word processor for reformatting a character group by locating line feed

In a data processing device such as a word processor comprising input means for inputting character data and format data, display means for displaying the input data on a screen, and means for processing the input data and displaying the processed data on the display means, the screen on the display means is separated into a line format area for displaying line format data and other area for displaying the other, and the processing device is provided with means for shifting the data displayed on the line format area relative to the data displayed on the other area.

A printer adapted to be optionally equipped with a sheet feeder, including a detector for detecting the installation of the sheet feeder, and a default-value setter for automatically setting a default value of a printing controller to a value for establishing a continous printing mode if the sheet feeder is installed, and for automatically setting the default value to a value for establishing a single-page printing mode if the sheet feeder is not installed. The printer further includes an operator-controlled default-value changeover device for changing the normally selected printing mode set by the default-value setter. In the continuous printing mode, cut sheets are continuously supplied one after another to the printer. In the single-page printing mode, the printing operation is stopped at the end of printing on each cut sheet.
