Abstract
An improvement in the technique to create output image includes creating on output template data by automatically replacing template character train data, which is created based on an output format, with data that is inputted by an operator and has the same identification as the template data. The created output data is the same as it is inputted by an operator based on the format. As the data, which is inputted without regard to the format, can be used for creating output image data with this method, an operator does not need to input data based on a predetermined format, thereby reducing an operator's burden.
