Abstract A data processing apparatus having a communication function includes an editor which edits document data, and displays the edited document data on a display device. An area setting device sets a destination area of an arbitrary sized for destination information into the edited document data, and a generating device generates the destination information and causes the display device to display the destination information on the destination area in the edited document data. A memory stores the edited document and the destination information as different files, and a transmitter combines and transmits the stored document data and destination information to a utilization device.
