Abstract
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.
