Abstract

On a content display screen corresponding to a searched item of an arbitrary dictionary, for example, an important item, an important year, and an important event are marked with a magenta highlighter, a blue highlighter, and a yellow highlighter, respectively. Then, position information of a highlighter range in the searched item of the dictionary is registered for each color in a highlighter information database, and the item name of the dictionary is associated with highlighter existence data for each color and registered in a wordbook database of Wordbook n selected by the user. When an arbitrary Wordbook n registered in the wordbook database is selected and called up, each item name registered in the selected wordbook is associated with a color mark according to the highlighter existence data for each color and displayed in a registered wordlist screen. Accordingly, a desired registered word can be quickly selected.
