ENTRY TEXT DISPLAY SYSTEM

An entry text display system is disclosed which is used in a document editing device which receives and inserts in an existing document a non-defined text and then converts the same to a defined text which is in a form in conformity with the existing document form. The entry text display system includes an entry character display processor for detecting the received non-defined text, storing the received non-defined text, detecting the position of a cursor, which moves right each time a character is entered, and for scrolling the text characters in a line horizontally towards left in response to the insertion of non-defined text. A CRT is provided for displaying the received non-defined text in a line in which the cursor is positioned such that non-defined text characters are sequentially displayed rightwardly until the cursor moves to the right end of the line, and thereafter, the whole line is shifted leftwardly as the non-defined text characters are inserted from the left side of the cursor, and the characters arriving at the left end of the line disappears from the display means. Thereafter, all non-defined text revives on the CRT.
