In a character-information processing method, a candidate alternative having relative positional information including at least the front-and-rear relation of ink-characters and braille, which are printed and embossed, respectively, on the same sheet, is stored as one of those alternatives for setting margins capable of being set as margins of the Braille. When the candidate alternative is selected from among those alternatives for margins, the ink characters and the braille are arranged based on the relative positional information.
