Addon compatible with latest WPS (Try to install VBAxWPS.exe only. If it doesn't work, install 1033 first, 2052 after and VBAxWPS as last): WPS.zip (dropbox)
I’ve had some trouble using VBA scripts on WPS Office. The solution is you manually have to add a VBA plugin. This one should work for the latest WPS Spreadsheets versions.
I’m running WPS Office on an older machine and I want to make sure the application isn't running unnecessary background processes when I'm not actively using it. I know most applications have background services that run regardless of whether you're doing anything with them and I want to get WPS Office down to only what's actually essential.
How do I identify which background processes are necessary versus optional and disabling the ones that aren't needed for core functionality? And is there a clean way to do this through WPS Office settings or does it require going into Windows Task Manager or Startup settings to manage it properly?
Student here and MS Office is out of the picture financially right now. My tablet came with WPS Office preinstalled and I've been using it for basic document and spreadsheet work but I want to start properly learning presentation software since it's a skill I'm going to need for academic work and eventually professionally.
The question I'm sitting with is whether learning on WPS Office Presentation is a good foundation or whether I'm picking up habits and workflows that won't transfer cleanly when I eventually move to PowerPoint in a professional environment. The last thing I want is to spend months building presentation skills on a tool that turns out to be different enough from PowerPoint that I essentially have to start over.
A few things I'm specifically trying to understand. How close is the WPS Presentation interface and workflow to PowerPoint, are the core concepts like slide layouts, master slides, transitions, animations, and design themes handled in a way that's consistent enough with PowerPoint that the skills transfer directly?
I’m seriously evaluating WPS Office enterprise for an organizational deployment and the pricing and feature comparison against Microsoft 365 looks compelling enough to take further. The piece I can't get a clear picture of is what the actual self hosted enterprise experience looks like once you're past the sales process and actually running it in production.
With Microsoft 365 the enterprise experience is well documented through years of community knowledge, IT forums, and widespread deployment. The rough edges are known, the workarounds are documented, and when something goes wrong there's a substantial community that has likely seen the same issue before. The WPS Office enterprise side of that equation is much harder to get a realistic picture of from publicly available information.
A few specific things I'm trying to understand from organizations that have actually deployed it. How responsive and capable is the enterprise support when real issues surface? How mature is the user management and provisioning infrastructure for an organization that needs reliable onboarding and offboarding workflows? And for the self hosted deployment specifically how straightforward is the installation, configuration, and ongoing maintenance compared to other enterprise office suite deployments?
Google Docs is one of the harder things to replace because the combination of cloud storage, real time editing, and cross device accessibility in a single free package is genuinely convenient. Most alternatives either require self hosting, cost money, or compromise on one of those three things in a way that makes the replacement feel like a step down.
WPS Office cloud has been on my radar as a potential replacement and the privacy angle is more interesting than most people give it credit for in degoogle discussions. The argument I keep coming back to is that Google's fundamental business model means your document content feeds into an advertising and data profiling ecosystem that knows your search history, location, email content, and browsing behavior alongside your documents. The data picture Google builds around you is comprehensive in a way that goes well beyond just storing your files.
WPS Office cloud by contrast is a paid product, you're a customer rather than a product in the same sense. The data points they realistically have on you are limited to your documents and usage patterns within the WPS ecosystem rather than being cross referenced against a broader behavioral profile the way Google does.
Evaluating WPS Office as a potential office suite for an organization. The piece I can't get a clear picture of is the enterprise user management side of things.
With Microsoft 365 it is well established. Centralized user provisioning and deprovisioning through Azure AD, group policy based configuration management, detailed usage reporting, role based access controls, and a mature admin portal that IT teams know well. It's not perfect but it's deeply documented and widely understood. What does the WPS Office equivalent look like?
Does WPS Office enterprise have a proper admin console for centralized user and license management etc
