Paving The Way With WPS Writer s Efficiencies

WPS Writer is a powerful word processing application bringing a range of advanced features designed to enhance productivity and efficiency in users. One of these features is the use of macros, but unfortunately, WPS Writer does not routinely use macros like an equivalent Microsoft Word. However, we can create an alternative method to macros using a mix of WPS Writer's built-in features, including AutoText, AutoFormat, and Keyboard Shortcut.



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



First method - AutoText Function



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



Input the text that you wish to rapidly reinsert in the ‘Entry’ 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 alter AutoText entries by double-clicking on the AutoText in the AutoText list and editing the ‘Entry’ text. AutoText entries can be edited at any time by using shortcut the AutoText in the AutoText drop-down menu, then choose ‘Modify AutoText’



To make the most of AutoText, it's recommended that you limit entries to the key 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 assign 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 ‘Settings’, choose ‘AutoFormat’, and select ‘Format Options’ to open the ‘Format Options’ window.



In the ‘Format Change’ window, you have several options. Click the ‘Style’ dropdown menu, which will give you a list of different word styles such as titles, headings, wps官网 subheadings, and normal headings, and conclusively 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 feature using keyboard shortcuts.
