Abstract
The drug information database (DB) system of Akita University Hospial was established by the introduction of MEDIS-DC from JAPIC in MS-DOS personal computer system. The hospital formulary directed to desk top publishing (DTP) was also published according to this DB system. We extracted the data of several items by the introduction of the color-specific modification and converted them into the specific font style format. The formulary which has a purposive layout style could be introduced after the conversion process of the information data from the textual expession. Although this method requires the additional work of include the colorful attributes into the data, it is capable of introducing a free style format and multiple fonts. In addition, this method may also be very useful for showing an easily understandable form of the information contents and for pasting them into the application software. This system is possible to provide the information data suitable for our purpose when DB system is usually supported.
