- indicating data memory means for storing said indicating data generated by said generating means, wherein said indicating data is stored relating to the title of the text stored in said text storage means;
- selecting means for selecting a desired title from among said titles stored in said title storage means;
- control means for reading the corresponding text from said text storage means, and reading the corresponding indicating data from said indicating data memory means, according to the selecting of said selecting means; and
- display means for displaying a symbol indicating that the title selected and corresponding text are stored and indicating the corresponding text, or displaying a symbol indicating that the title selected and the corresponding text are not stored wherein said display means is constructed to display in one line the title, the symbol, and at least a portion of the corresponding text.
- 2. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising character input means for inputting data for selection of said selecting means.
- 3. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising means for producing an indicia indicative of indicating data stored in said memory means.
- 4. A printing device comprising:
- text storage means for storing a plurality of texts;
- title storage means for storing titles each corresponding to a different one of said plurality of texts to be stored in said storage means;
- indicating data memory means for storing first indicating data representing the condition that said text storage means stores a text corresponding to a searched for title stored in said title storage means and for storing second indicating data representing the condition that said text storage means does not store a text corresponding to a searched for title stored in said title storage means;
- searching means for searching for a desired title among plural titles stored in said title storage means, and upon finding the desired title, then searching corresponding first indicating data or second indicating data from said indicating data memory means, and upon finding the first or second indicating data, then searching for a corresponding text from said text storage means;
- display control means for displaying a symbol of the first indicating data indicating that the title selected and the corresponding text are stored and indicating the corresponding text, or displaying a symbol of the second indicating data indicating that the title selected and the corresponding text are not stored, wherein said display control means is constructed to display in one line the title, the symbol, and at least a portion of the corresponding text; and
- print means for outputting the text corresponding to the titles displayed by said display control means, wherein said print means is connected to said text storage means.
- 5. An electronic apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising selecting means for selecting a desired title from among said titles stored in said title storage means.
- 6. An electronic apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said display means includes a one-line display unit.
- 7. An electronic apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising means for producing an indicia indicative of indicating data stored in said memory means.
- 8. A printing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting a plurality of texts and titles;
- text memory means for separately storing the plurality of texts input by said input means;
- title memory means for storing a plurality of titles corresponding to the plurality of texts;
- retrieving control means for retrieving, based on the title inputted from said input means, information indicating whether said text memory means has stored one of the plurality of said input texts, in order to inform an operator of a vacant memory area in said text memory means;
- display control means, in response to the operation of said retrieving control means, for selectively displaying either a first symbol indicating that a title and the corresponding text are stored and indicating the corresponding text, or displaying a second symbol indicating that the title and the corresponding text are not stored, wherein said display control means is constructed to display in one line the title, the symbol, and at least a portion of the corresponding text; and
- control means for allowing a text from said input means to be input successively after said display control means displays the first symbol or the second symbol.
- 9. An electronic apparatus according to claim 8, further comprising selecting means for selecting a text from among said plurality of texts stored in said memory means, corresponding to data input by said input means in response to an input operation of said data.
