Abstract
A word processor with display screen having a search and replace function wherein, when the cursor is positioned at the head of a character queue input area on the display screen in the search and replacement mode, a correction key stroke causes all the characters displayed in the character queue input area to be erased, so the character queues of the SEARCH and REPLACE WORDS can be easily and efficiently entered and the time required for text memorization and editorial operations by the word processor is reduced. Furthermore, the accuracy and ease of conversion of words or phrases in the text is improved, especially with regard to appropriate conversion between capital and small characters.
