Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: How to set a text box to a transparent background?

  • Solution: Select the text box, and in "Object Edit", set the fill to "No Fill".

Question 2: What if I need to edit the text box's shadow, 3D effects, etc.?

  • Solution: In collaboration mode, setting such complex effects is currently not supported;
  • It is recommended to edit using the WPS client and then upload to the cloud.

Question 3: Why can't some text boxes be selected for editing?

  • Solution: It is possible that the text box is placed at the bottom layer and there are other objects above it;
  • Manually move other objects away or right-click to lower the layer of the object above the text box / move it to the bottom.

Notes

  • Text boxes float above the text by default; the wrapping style can be adjusted

  • Other objects such as images and tables can be inserted inside a text box
