Abstract

A document edit system that performs page unit editing. The pages of a selected document are displayed in a stacked reduced offset overlapped position and are available for immediate editing independent of the page unit's location within the document stack. Display control data and actual data are stored for each page in internal memory and are changed in response to an edit command. Edit commands include page move and page copy within a single document, or from one document to another, and for creating a new document. The page move command may also be used to discard any selected page in the displayed document.
