Abstract
Abstract A word processor which comprises a display unit. a keyboard including a manipulatable input arrangement utilizeable for keying in the characters and others and also for causing document control data to be displayed on the screen or editing the document control data on the screen; a printer, a document composing device for composing a document based on data inputed from the keyboard, storing the document in a recording medium, and outputing it to the printer, and a document control for inputing the document control data in a document control data section at a predetermined location of the recording medium, or output- in g the data stored in the recording medium to the display means in dependence on an input signal from the keyboard. The document control data in the recording medium com- prrises a first record, having a name of the document, a level of the document and access information to a file of the recording medium corresponding to such document, which name, level and access information are recorded in the recording medium, and a second record having a name and a level of a folder for dividing for each unit of a group of documents of lower level to be brought together, which second record is arranged preceding the first record of documents included in the folder.
