Abstract
A document reference apparatus and method and a storage medium storing the program used for realizing the apparatus and method are provided for displaying documents page by page for helping a user to search for a desired document. The apparatus stores documents in a storage unit. On receiving a reference start instruction, the apparatus reads documents from the storage unit, then converts the document information into the one which provides less processing in generating display images. Then, the apparatus generates the display images for each page and displays them on the screen in sequence.
