Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: What should I do if an add-in fails to load?
- Solution: Check whether the add-in file is complete, ensure there are no special characters in the file path, and try reinstalling the add-in.
Question 2: Is sudden lag in WPS related to add-ins?
- Solution: Check whether there are newly added add-ins not installed by the user. External add-ins are one of the common causes of lag in WPS Writer.
- Try deleting or disabling add-ins on the Add-in Management page;
- Some add-ins automatically install, update, and integrate into WPS Writer. Such add-ins need to be managed through external management software.
Question 3: Why have features that were not there before suddenly appeared on the ribbon?
- Solution: Click the "Tools" tab → "Add-ins" to check whether there are any third-party add-in contents that have been automatically connected and installed, and determine whether they need to be kept for use.
