Abstract
A text processing apparatus allowing a line-end process to be performed easily, namely the division of a line-end word and hyphening. If a word at the end of a line exceeds the area of display or printing, the word is automatically transferred to a next line, but a part of the word that can be returned to the end of the original line is identified, and the operator can insert a hyphen after that part. Upon insertion of the hyphen, the above-mentioned part is returned to the end of the original line, and the remaining part of the word is displayed on the next line. In this manner the hyphenating of line-end word is made easy to perform on the display, and printing can be obtained in the form as displayed.
