Abstract
A document editing system for storing a plurality of format data records in a tree structure which define the format of a document. The format data records comprise any combination of a title field, a basic field, and a group field. A document data management section, in response to a document preparation request from a work station, prepares a basic document having a tree structure consistent with the document format data records. Furthermore, the document data management section updates the basic document with externally input data to prepare a target document. The document data management section determines the number of lines and characters per line of a group field including a line/character increase or decrease field, from a tree structure subordinate to the group field.
