The apparatus further comprises a rule application decision section and a candidate selection indication section to allow the operator to select any desired document architecture, when the document architecture decision section decides plural document architecture candidates exist in accordance with document architecture rules, thus improving the operability of the system. Further, the past rule application record information (priority order) is stored and updated so as to provide a learning function for providing better operability.
