Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between COM Add-ins and regular add-ins?

  • Solution: COM Add-ins are low-level extensions implemented through COM component technology, offering more powerful functionality but requiring corresponding system component support; regular add-ins (such as .xla format) are spreadsheet-level plugins.

Q2: What should I do if WPS reports an error after adding a COM Add-in?

  • Solution: The add-in version may be incompatible. Uncheck the problematic add-in in the COM Add-ins window and contact the plugin developer for a compatible version.

Q3: How can I view all installed COM Add-ins?

  • Solution: Open "Developer Tools" → "COM Add-ins"; the window list displays all registered COM Add-ins and their enabled status.

Notes

  • Only add COM Add-ins from trusted sources to avoid system security risks
