This FAQ covers 3 common questions about Copy, Paste, and Cut in WPS on iOS, mainly around editing mode, clipboard status, and cross-app content behavior, plus a short glossary.
FAQ
Why can't I copy or paste text?
- Make sure the document is already in editing mode.
- Check whether text has been selected or whether the cursor is placed in an editable position.
- If the action still does not work, close the document, reopen it, and try again.
- If the content comes from another app, check whether the system clipboard currently contains usable content.
Why can't content copied from another app be pasted normally?
- Confirm that the copied content comes from an app or page that allows copying.
- Check whether the content includes images, special formatting, or restricted objects.
- If you need more stable insertion for images or complex content, save the content locally first and then insert it.
Why does an image copied from a webpage appear incorrectly after pasting?
- Confirm that the copied object is an actual image rather than a webpage link or code fragment.
- If the pasted result looks incorrect, save the image locally first.
- Then insert the image through the document's image insertion method for a more stable result.
