Abstract
In an automatic editing device for an English letter, text data of the English letter is input by operating character keys and a space key, and an automatic edit key is then operated. The input text data is displayed at a left end portion of a display, and the layouts of four typical letter formats identified as numerals 1-4 are also displayed at a central portion of the display. In this condition, when one of numeral 1-4 keys is operated, a letter format flag corresponding to the numeral is set to select a desired one of the four letter formats. Then, the input text data is automatically edited to the selected letter format. The edited text data is stored into a work memory, and the layout of the stored text data is displayed at a right end portion of the display. Thus, when an operator merely inputs the text data of the English letter, the automatic editing device operates to automatically edit the input text data to a desired letter format.
