Abstract: An image processing device which displays an image of a letter string input on a display screen, and either the image of a frame which surrounds the letter string or an image of a letter string modifying figure which modifies the letter string. The attribute of the frame image is determined in accordance with the input letter string to thereby omit the operation of deciding the frame attribute. Letter string division information is provided to start a new line of a letter string at a position that the user desires and display position information is provided which determines the display position of each letter of the letter string. When a letter string is input, it is selected from a plurality of letter strings prepared beforehand. The selected letter string is edited to omit the operation of inputting the individual letters. A letter string to be selected is used as the title of a file which stores edited image data.

Abstract: In a document processing apparatus equipped with a computer program storage medium, a preselected decoration is made on document data. A CPU analyzes document structures of the overall document in unit of a document structural element, and extracts a predetermined structural element from these analyzed structural elements as a design element to be designed. Then, the CPU retrieves a table contained in a RAM based on an attribute of this design element. This table fixedly stores specific decoration information with respect to each of the attributes of the design elements. The CPU retrieves the decoration information corresponding to the attribute of the extracted design element, and then decorated the design element based on this decoration information. As a result, a predetermined decoration can be made on the document data.

Abstract: A herbicidal composition for preventing the growth of weeds in rice fields which comprises active carbon in a powder form dispersed in water in the presence of a starch or a derivative of starch. The herbicidal composition prevents the growth of weeds on the surface of soil covered with water in a rice field by decreasing the amount of light which passes through the water covering the soil. The herbicidal composition does not cause any problem regarding food sanitation, maintains the effect for a long period of time with stability by repeated applications, is inexpensive and can be used advantageously.
