How-to Guide

1. Open Smart Word Selection

Feature entry: Document editing area → double-tap text in editing mode → floating menu

1. Open a WPS text document and enter editing mode.
2. Double-tap any text in the document, or select the text range you want to work with first.
3. Tap Smart Word Selection in the floating menu.
4. Wait for the app to return the selection result.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the current text is selected automatically and the floating action menu appears.
• Next action available: you can continue with copy, cut, or dictionary-related actions.

Tips While Using

• If the document is not in editing mode, the full text action menu may not appear.
• Start with a short word or phrase first if you want to observe the selection behavior more clearly.

2. Adjust the Selected Range

Feature entry: Smart Word Selection result → selection handles

1. Complete one Smart Word Selection action first.
2. Check the automatically generated selection range.
3. If the result is not exactly what you want, drag the selection handles to fine-tune the start or end position.
4. Confirm the final range based on word groups in Chinese or spacing in English.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the selected range updates after you drag the handles.
• Next action available: after adjustment, you can still continue with copy, cut, or other text actions.

Tips While Using

• Specialized terms or uncommon combinations may still need manual adjustment.
• For mixed Chinese and English content, confirm the final boundary before taking the next action.

3. Work with the Selected Text

Feature entry: Smart Word Selection result → pop-up menu

1. After Smart Word Selection finishes, review the available actions in the pop-up menu.
2. Tap Copy, Cut, or a dictionary-related option as needed.
3. Continue with paste, deletion, or reading the explanation based on your editing goal.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the selected action takes effect immediately or opens the related panel.
• Next action available: copied text can be pasted elsewhere, and cut results are reflected in the document.

Tips While Using

• Cut or delete actions will directly affect the current document content.
• Confirm the selected range before making formal edits.
