An application is executed which provides a grid display and which includes: a spreadsheet generator for generating a screen comprising a group of display elements; a scroll controller for accepting a scroll operation of a screen displayed on a display device and for controlling the scrolling of the screen. If a cell is excluded from and a cell is newly included in a visible region displayed on the display device as a result of a scrolling operation, the scroll controller causes the cell included in the visible region to be displayed on the display device by modifying a content of an attribute, including location information, of a display element used to display the cell excluded from the visible region to a content for displaying the cell included in the visible region.
