FAQs

Q1: What should I do if the formatting changes after pasting?

• Solution: By default, pasted content may adjust to match the formatting of the destination location. If you need to retain the original formatting, choose the Keep Source Formatting option when pasting.

Q2: Can I copy and paste between different presentations?

• Solution: Yes. You can freely copy and paste text, images, shapes, and other objects between different WPS Slides presentations. When pasting, you can also choose to keep the source formatting or match the destination formatting.

Notes

• Copy (Ctrl+C), Cut (Ctrl+X), and Paste (Ctrl+V) are the most commonly used shortcut combinations.
• The cut operation deletes the content from its original location, and it will no longer be retained there after pasting.
• The "Keep Text Only" option is ideal for unifying formatting when pasting content between different presentations.
• Selecting text brings up a floating toolbar, where you can also perform operations such as copying, cutting, and pasting.
