Abstract: A word processing device capable of registering character phrases with abbreviated phrase names, respectively, said device comprises a keyboard for inputting the registered phrase name and for formatting the inputted phrase name, and the inputted phrase name is used to retrieve the registered phrase corresponding thereto in such a fashion that the phrase is formatted in the same formatting conditions as those of the inputted and formatted phrase name.

Abstract: In a printing device capable of exchanging a plurality of printing elements which correspond to a plurality of character sets, respectively, at least two of the character sets having common character data, the device sequentially receives text data including character data, and identification code data for identifying one of the character sets, the identification code data being put prior to the succeeding character data for indicating the character set used in preparing the succeeding character data differs from that used for the preceding character data, it is discriminated one by one whether the succeeding character data received by the data receiving means is one of the common character data in the character set used in preparing the preceding character data, and the device is controlled such that the identification code data is not stored in a print buffer until the succeeding character data is discriminated not to be one of the common character data.

Abstract: Dimethylformamide mg.multidot.produced by reaction of monomethylamine and trimethylamine at a molar ratio of trimethylamine to monomethylamine of 0.1-10, with carbon monoxide in the presence of 1-500 mg. atom of at least one of iodine, bromine, iodides and bromides as a catalyst in term of halogen per one mole of raw material methylamines at a temperature of 100.degree.-350.degree. C. under a pressure of at least 50 kg/cm.sup.2 gage. Dimethylformamide is produced in a very high yield with a high selectivity from monomethylamine and trimethylamine having less demand among three species of methylamines formed from methanol and ammonia.

Abstract: Dimethyl formamide is produced in high yield with high selectivity by reaction of monomethyl formamide with trimethylamine and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst such as halogen elements, halides, inorganic acids, solid acids and metal carbonyls at a temperature of 150.degree. to 300.degree. C under a pressure of 20 kg/cm.sup.2 gage or higher.
