Abstract
The conventional technology of designating a page with a scroll bar or by a dialogue and displaying the designated page can only display the designated page. According to the present invention, when an icon displayed in the form of a book in open state is designated with a mouse, the designated position is judged, and, if it is on the right-side page, the image of the designated page is displayed in compressed state to the designated point, and an underlying page is displayed. Then the designated page is turned over and the images of the succeeding two pages are displayed. When the left-side page is designated, the preceding two pages are displayed through a similar process.
