PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently set a layout of good readability that does not cause discomfort to readers even if a symmetrical template is generated out of a template formed. SOLUTION: A field object order setting unit 1 sets the order in which field objects are arranged. An order setting determining unit 2 determines whether or not an order has been set for the field objects that are the subject of determination. From the field objects for which the order has been set, a field member acquisition unit 3 obtains field members that make up the field objects. A symmetry transformation kind identifying unit 4 identifies the kind of symmetry transformation of the field objects based on the order set by the setting unit 1. A field member order changing unit 5 changes the sequence of the field members based on the kind of symmetry transformation identified by the identifying unit 4. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
