FAQ

Why does Command + I not work in WPS Office?

  1. Make sure the current window is an active WPS document editing window.
  2. Check whether text is selected, or confirm that you want italics to apply to text you type next.
  3. If another app or system setting is using the shortcut, click the Italic button on the Home tab instead.

Why does italic text look only slightly different?

  1. Check whether the current font provides a clearly visible italic style.
  2. Try switching to a common body font and apply italics again.
  3. Compare the same text in regular and italic styles to confirm that the format has been applied.

Does italic formatting stay after I copy and paste text?

  1. When you paste with formatting preserved, italics usually stay with the text.
  2. If the destination uses plain text pasting, italic and other character formatting may be removed.
  3. To keep the style, use regular paste or a paste option that preserves formatting.

How do I quickly remove italic formatting in WPS Office?

  1. Select the text that is already italicized.
  2. Click the Italic button again, or press Command + I again.
  3. Confirm that the text has returned to regular styling.
