Abstract
Abstract An entry text display system is disclosed which is used in a document editing device which receives and inserts in an existing document a non-defined text and then converts the same to a defined text which is in a form in conformity with the existing document form. The entry text display system includes an entry character display processor for detecting the received non-defined text, storing the received non-defined text, detecting the position of a cursor, which moves right each time a character is entered, and for scrolling the text characters in a line horizontally towards left in response to the insertion of non-defined text. A CRT is provided for displaying the received non-defined text in a line in which the cursor is positioned such that non-defined text characters are sequentially displayed rightwardly until the cursor moves to the right end of the line, and thereafter, the whole line is shifted leftwardly as the non-defined text characters are inserted from the left side of the cursor, and the characters arriving at the left end of the line disappears from the display means. Thereafter, all non-defined text revives on the CRT.

23 words
An entry text display system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for converting said finally inserted non-defined text to defined text.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
193 words
An entry text display method for use in a document editing device which receives and inserts in an existing document non-defined text and then converts the non-defined text to a defined text which is in conformity with the existing document form, said entry text display method comprising the steps of: detecting the received non-defined text; storing the received non-defined text; detecting the position of a cursor, which moves to the right each time a character is entered; scrolling the text characters in a line horizontally towards the left in response to the insertion of non-defined text; displaying the received non-defined text in a line in which the cursor is positioned such that non-defined text characters are sequentially displayed rightwardly until the cursor moves to the right end of the line as detected by said cursor position detecting means, and thereafter, the whole line is shifted leftwardly as the non-defined text characters are inserted from the left side of the cursor, and the characters arriving at the left end of the line disappear from the display means; and retrieving all the non-defined text to be inserted in the existing document onto said display means.
