How To Tap Into WPS Writer s Power

WPS Writer is a powerful word processing application offering a range of advanced features aimed at enhance efficiency and productivity in users. One of these features is the use of macros, but alas, WPS Writer does not routinely use macros like an equivalent Microsoft Word. However, we can create an unique workaround to macros using a mix of WPS Writer's built-in features, such as AutoText, wps官网 AutoFormat, and Keyboard Shortcut.



Below are some steps to create an auto-repeat function, a restricted mimic to macros:



Alternative First Method AutoText Function



To start using the auto-text function in WPS Writer, go to ‘Resources’ and click ‘AutoInsert’. Then, click on ‘Add’ to create your auto-text entry.



Input the text that you wish to auto-repeat in the ‘Input’ box, and then save the new AutoText entry. To repeat the text, go back to ‘Settings’, select ‘AutoInsert’, choose your saved/auto-text, and place the cursor where you want to insert the auto-text.



You can easily modify AutoText entries by double-clicking on the AutoText in the AutoText list and changing the ‘Input’ text. AutoText entries can be edited at any time by right-clicking the AutoText in the AutoText drop-down menu, then choose ‘Alter AutoText’



To make the most of AutoText, it's recommended that you limit entries to the primary ones that you most frequently use. To use it more effectively for rapid insertion of text, you can set a shortcut key to add the saved auto text to your document by selecting it in the drop-down menu and pressing the shortcut key to attach to the text.



Second method - AutoFormat



Another method is to use WPS Writer's AutoFormat feature, which can be set up to apply a specific format text according to desired settings. Click on ‘Resources’, choose ‘Text Formatting Utility’, and select ‘Format Options’ to open the ‘Text Style Window’ window.



In the ‘Format Change’ window, you have several options. Click the ‘Style’ dropdown menu, which will give you a list of various word styles including titles, headings, subheadings, and normal headings, and finally set up the criteria for the auto-format applied to the text.



Select ‘Restore Settings’, which displays the AutoFormat settings every time you start WPS Writer so you can recall the auto-format settings you previously customized.



Finally, use the 'Tools' drop-down to activate the auto-apply filter using hotkeys.
