Abstract
A document preparing system includes input processing means for detecting the per-unit-time moving amount of a click such as a mouse and for supplying information to be used for calculation for correction; correction means for executing a calculation for correction based on information supplied from the input processing means and for supplying a corrective value; and mouse cursor moving amount calculation means for calculating the per-unit-time moving amount of a mouse cursor using the corrective value and the per-unit-time mouse moving amount. As the mouse moving speed is higher, the mouse cursor moving speed is further increased. This enables to closely reproduce the mouse user's operation feeling that a fine movement of the mouse is slowly made while a rough movement thereof is quickly made. This improves a smooth operational effectiveness of the mouse.
