Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports font, font size, and size scaling from the Home tab, the Text Properties pane, and the floating toolbar. It also supports custom size input and keyboard shortcuts for size adjustment. | Microsoft Word supports changing font and font size from formatting controls and drop-down lists in its document formatting workflow. | Google Docs supports font formatting from the top toolbar and the Format menu, and its help page shows command-based size input such as font size [number]. | Notion supports page-level typography choices and a Small text toggle for shrinking page text. | Adobe Acrobat supports changing font, font size, and other text formatting options while editing PDF text. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides three common entry points for the same font and size workflow in one document editor. Distinct: It combines preset size lists, custom size input, size increase or decrease buttons, and keyboard shortcuts in one feature set. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft support content focuses on standard font and size controls and does not present the same combination of floating toolbar and text-properties-pane entry points in one place. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs covers font and size formatting well, but its official guidance is centered on toolbar and menu actions rather than multiple editing panels in one desktop app. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on page style and overall text appearance than on traditional document-style font size control for selected text. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat supports text formatting in PDFs, but the workflow is designed around PDF editing rather than general document drafting. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS brings font and size controls together through several editing entry points that fit frequent document formatting work on Windows. Other products also support text formatting, but their official workflows are oriented toward their own document models, such as web documents, page styling, or PDF editing.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Standardize body text | Office users | Fonts are inconsistent across a document | Use font and font size controls to unify text formatting |
| 2 | Adjust Chinese and Western fonts separately | Bilingual document editors | Different scripts need different visual styles | Use Text Properties to set Chinese fonts and Western fonts separately |
| 3 | Emphasize key content quickly | Review and reporting users | Important text does not stand out enough | Use Increase Font Size or shortcuts to enlarge selected text |
| 4 | Edit selected text without switching tabs | Frequent editors | Moving back to the ribbon takes extra steps | Use the floating toolbar for quick local changes |
