 note = {The document preparation facility is one of the most important functionalities in various types of information systems. Now that high density laser-printers are commonly provided and various kinds of jobs are effectively computerized, electronic-form/paper-form documents related to the issue of the desk top publishing are easily composed by computers. Document preparation tools/systems ( or formatters ), that are currently utilized, embed the layout control data into the source text data together. These traditional formatters are not always successful because the task of embedding layout control data into the source text data is very troulesome and difficult. Namely, such a framework is in short of the flexibility, adaptability and applicability. Our approach enables a layout-independent document preparation mechanism because the original text data are separated from the layout control data. Our layout structure information is specified externally by the form definition language. Through this paper, we discuss the concept and framework of our document preparation facility, and also show a prototype system.},
