A documents control apparatus includes an attribute sharing unit that shares an attribute of a document with another documents control apparatus, an edit processing unit that edits the attribute, and a switching unit that determines whether the attribute is shared with the other documents control apparatus. The switching unit switches the edit of the attribute based on the determination. If the attribute sharing unit does not share the attribute, the switching unit allows the edit processing unit to edit the attribute as requested. If the attribute sharing unit shares the attribute, the switching unit controls the operation of the edit processing unit.

Documents control apparatus that can share document attributes

In the document processor, a document memory which stores input document data; a selector which selects all or part of document data stored in the document memory; a characteristics extractor which extracts data relating to characteristics of letter rows from all or part of the document data selected by the selector; a work processor which work-processes all or part of the document data based on the data relating to characteristics of letter rows extracted by the characteristics extractor; and an output section which outputs all or part of the document data work-processed by the work processor are provided.
