Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: After applying a table style, all content is squeezed into one cell

  • Solution: The delimiter was selected incorrectly. Check the delimiter actually used in the text and re-select the correct delimiter type. For Chinese commas, you need to select "Other Characters" and manually enter it.

Question 2: What should I do if modifying borders/shading has no effect?- Solution: Check whether the application range is correct. You need to select the entire target table/cell range before applying settings; selecting only part of the content will modify only that part. Also ensure the document format is .docx and that WPS is the latest version.

Question 3: How to enter text in a diagonal header?

  • Method 1: In the cell, first enter the upper-right text, press Space, then enter the lower-left text, and adjust the position using line breaks and spaces;
  • Method 2: Click "Insert" → "Text Box", enter the corresponding text separately, set the text box to "No Outline", and then move it to the appropriate position.

Question 4: Inserted images in a table do not display or display incompletely

  • Solution: Adjust the row height to fit the image size and check "Allow row to break across pages"; when there are many images, insert them in batches to avoid display anomalies caused by loading all at once.
