Abstract
A documentary information processing system for creating and editing a multimedia document. Document files are correspondingly associated with icons symbolizing them. Likewise, partial areas provided within a document are correspondingly associated with icons symbolizing them. On a screen, information (texts, graphs, etc.) within a partial area is deleted and replaced by an icon. The icon is clicked for activation to return the information of the partial area symbolized by the icon onto the screen. There are two printing modes, that is a mode allowing the icon to be printed as it is, and a mode printing original information symbolized by an icon. It is possible to edit a document in editing units of icons. Interrelation can be defined among a plurality of icons.
