An image formation device (1) wherein, when a touch panel unit (102) and a detection unit (105) detect a pinch-in operation performed by an operator in a display region in which multiple character images are displayed on a display unit (473) by a first display control unit, a second display control unit (1032) cancels the display of the character images displayed in the region enclosed between the respective initial positions of the two touch points forming the pinch-in operation, and moves the display of the adjacent character images (which are the character images displayed adjacent to that region) into that region. An instruction reception unit (106) receives an input of a deletion instruction which deletes the input of the characters indicated by the character images the display of which has been cancelled.
