Abstract:
A document creating apparatus which creates a document in response to handwritten data generated from a handwritten data input device and displays the created document on a display screen, said document creating apparatus comprising:a setting unit setting on the display screen one or a plurality of normalized regions having a normalized size as an attribute and one or a plurality of non-normalized regions having no normalized size as the attribute so that said one or a plurality of normalized regions and said one or a plurality of non-normalized regions coexist on the display screen;a judging unit judging whether input data are input to the normalized region or the non-normalized region;a memory;a first storing unit, coupled to said memory and responsive to said judging unit, converting a size of the input data into a normalized size of the normalized region and storing the normalized input data in said memory when said judging unit judges that the input data are input to the normalized region;a second storing unit, coupled to said memory and responsive to said judging unit, storing the input data in said memory as they are when said judging unit judges that the input data are input to the non-normalized region; anda display device, coupled to the memory, displaying a document so that the size converted input data stored by the first storing unit and the input data stored as they are by the second storing unit coexist in the displayed document.
