Abstract
Abstract An image input processor provided with a detection means which detects whether or not the rate of the width of a character or characters cut off from the read character information with respect to the readable width is over a predetermined value, and a printing means which prints the cut-off character or characters when the detected rate is over the predetermined value, and prohibits to print the cut-off character or characters when the detected rate is less than the predetermined value, whereby necessary information and unnecessary information can be distinguished from each other based on the degree how much the read image information is cut off.

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
82 words
A word processing system comprising: a space detection means which detects a space from the data read by a scanner for reading an original; and a space judgement means which judges, by setting a space width by which the space between two adjacent words can be distinguished from the space between characters in a word, that the space detected by said space detection means is a space between two adjacent words if the detected space is larger than the set space width.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
82 words
A word processing system comprising: a space detection means which detects a space from the data read by a scanner for reading an original; and a space judgement means which judges, by setting a space width by which the space between two adjacent words can be distinguished from the space between characters in a word, that the space detected by said space detection means is a space between two adjacent words if the detected space is larger than the set space width.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
