About This Feature
Overview
Font and Size is the text formatting feature in WPS Writer for macOS. It lets you change font family, font size, and font scaling for selected text. You can work from the Home tab, the Text Properties pane, or the floating toolbar, depending on how detailed or how fast you want the adjustment to be.
Core tasks include:
- Change the font for selected text and preview the result immediately.
- Use Text Properties to set Chinese fonts and Western fonts separately.
- Change the font size from preset values or by entering a custom size.
- Use Text Properties for more detailed font size adjustments.
- Increase or decrease font size with scaling controls.
- Use keyboard shortcuts to enlarge or reduce font size quickly.
- Change the font from the floating toolbar near selected text.
- Change font size or scale text from the floating toolbar for quick edits.
This feature is useful for document layout, style cleanup, heading hierarchy, and emphasis in selected content. It is especially practical when you need to standardize body text, adjust title levels, or fine-tune local formatting in a document.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | You can change font, font size, and font scaling from the Home tab, the Text Properties pane, and the floating toolbar, with support for custom size input. | Word lets you change font and size from the Home tab and font dialog, and it also supports setting a default font for new documents. | Google Docs lets you format fonts from the top toolbar and the Format menu, and it supports saving styles as defaults. | Notion supports page typography choices and a Small text toggle, but it does not focus on traditional document-style font size lists for detailed paragraph formatting. | Acrobat lets you edit text in PDFs and change font and font size while editing selected text. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides multiple entry points for the same task, including the Home tab, task pane, and floating toolbar. Distinct: It also supports direct custom size input and keyboard shortcuts for font scaling. | Compared with WPS: Word also offers full font and size controls, but its default font workflow is more centered on templates and new documents. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs works well for online style management, but it offers fewer desktop-style entry points for the same formatting task. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on page-level styling and lightweight writing layouts than detailed text size control inside a word processor workflow. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed around PDF editing, so its text formatting workflow is different from a document editor. |
| Official Source | — | Change the default font in Word | Change how paragraphs and fonts look | Style and customize your page | Edit text in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is document text formatting and local layout adjustment, WPS offers a direct workflow with several convenient entry points. Other products are also suitable in their own contexts, such as online style management, page-level writing layouts, or PDF text editing.
Use Cases

| 2 | Adjusting heading levels | Report writers | Titles and body text do not have clear visual hierarchy | Use preset or custom font sizes to separate heading levels |
| 3 | Fine-tuning emphasis | Review and collaboration users | A keyword or sentence needs emphasis without changing the whole paragraph | Use the floating toolbar to change local font or size quickly |
| 4 | Resizing text quickly | Keyboard-focused users | Repeated size changes slow down editing | Use Increase Font Size, Decrease Font Size, or shortcuts |
| 5 | Setting Chinese and Western fonts separately | Bilingual document editors | Mixed-language text looks inconsistent | Use Text Properties to set Chinese and Western fonts independently |
