Abstract

See full text

An apparatus of this invention is designed to output document data including ruled line data upon proportionally arranging the data on one page to prevent the disruption of the relationship between the column and row positions of the ruled line data on the page. A document arranging section sequentially changes the character sizes stored in text and table format memories to develop document data of a designated page in a layout development memory. If the developed document data occupies 3/4 or more of a printable region, the data is printed according to the current format by a printing section. If the character size exceeds a limit value set in a format table before the area of the data becomes 3/4 or more of the printable region, the line spacing and the upper margin are sequentially changed in the same manner. If a ruled line causes overflow when the character size of ruled line data is changed, the character size is decreased by one step to prevent line feed of the ruled line.
