Abstract
A word processor may be used in a plurality of languages such as Japanese and English. The word processor has a function of replacing a particular symbol added with an editing symbol with a described character in automatic editing text. The capability of adding of the preferred edit data (edit symbol) to a series of particular symbols is done by arranging newly inputted data in positions of the particular symbols so that the desired edit can be performed. Where a number of newly inputted characters is smaller than that of the particular symbols, they are replaced with space codes or they are deleted. This prevents unnecessary symbols or spaces from remaining in a simplified format.
