  1. Check whether a program corresponding to the format (e.g., PDF reader, CAD drawing tool) is installed on the computer;
  2. Click "WPS" → "Settings" → "Configuration and Repair Tool" → "Advanced" → "Compatibility Settings", and check "WPS Office compatible with third-party systems and software".

Notes

  1. Attachments are embedded into the document, which will increase the document file size
  2. When double-clicking an attachment to edit it, changes are saved within the document and do not affect the original file
  3. It is recommended not to insert overly large attachment files to avoid affecting the document opening speed
  4. Attachments support most common file formats (text, spreadsheet, PDF, image, etc.)
