A layout editing device is capable of reducing the burden of operations that a user performs in editing a layout using a template. An object that has been one of input and selected on an interactive screen of a touch panel is disposed in an object area that has been set from the touch panel (Steps S1 to S5). A similar template that includes a corresponding area that corresponds to the object area that has been set on the interactive screen is acquired from an HDD (Step S7). Based on the acquired similar template, a candidate area is displayed on the interactive screen (Step S 15). In a case where it is determined that the candidate area will be set on the interactive screen, an object is disposed in the displayed candidate area (Steps S19, S21).
