Utilizing The Advanced Features In WPS Writer

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



Here are some steps to create an auto-repeat function, a limited alternative to macros:



Alternative First Method AutoText Function



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



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



You can easily edit 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 ‘Edit AutoText Entry’



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.



Alternative Solution AutoFormat



Another method is to use WPS Writer's AutoFormat feature, which can be set up to apply a specific format text according to certain criteria. Click on ‘Tools’, choose ‘Format Tool’, and select ‘Format Options’ to open the ‘Format Change’ window.



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



Select ‘Restore Settings’, that can 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 keyboard shortcuts.
