FAQ

Q1: After modifying a style, will the content to which the style has been applied change?

  • Solution: Yes. After modifying a style, all content in the document to which that style has been applied will automatically update to the new formatting settings, enabling batch modification.

Q2: After modifying a style, can I prevent the text content with that style applied from updating automatically?

  • Solution: WPS does not yet support this feature. Currently, after modifying a style, the text content using that style will update automatically.

Q3: How do I save a custom style to a template?- Solution: In the "Modify Style" or "Create New Style" dialog box, check the "Save to template" option to save the style into the Normal template for use in other documents.

Notes

  • Heading styles form the basis for automatically generating a table of contents; it is recommended to apply heading styles correctly according to their hierarchy.
  • When modifying a style, the based-on style will inherit properties from its parent style, and custom properties of the current style will not be overwritten.
