Improvements in desk-top publishing apparatus

Abstract

A desk-top publishing apparatus in which an operator enters and manipulates different types of data objects such as typed text and line drawings. The apparatus is arranged to perform a method of managing the relationship between intermingled objects of different types for editing purposes. Management is through establishing separate and combined modes of operation. When a separate mode is selected, only a selected object will be affected by an edit action. When a combined mode is selected, selection of any object will result in all objects being affected by an edit action.
