Abstract
In a text editing device, provided is an improved so-called wordout function, a word lying across two lines can be erased at one time with a single key operation. In case that a hyphen is located at the end of the line, it is determined that two divided parts of a single word are located on two lines. By detecting a hyphen between two character strings, these two strings are erased at one time as two parts included in a single word.
