Does Smart Format Organizing change fonts or colors?

What is the difference between deleting line breaks and converting line breaks to carriage returns?

  3. Before choosing one, check whether the line breaks are used for sentence wrapping or paragraph separation.

Why do paragraphs look tighter or looser after formatting text in WPS on Windows?

  1. This usually happens because empty paragraphs, spaces at the start of paragraphs, or line break structures were cleaned up.
  2. If you used Add Empty Paragraphs or Convert to Empty Paragraph Separation Style, the spacing between paragraphs becomes more visible.
