When using WPS Hidden Text on macOS, common questions usually involve display status, print results, and removing the setting; this FAQ covers 4 frequent questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Why can I still see content after setting it as hidden text?
- This is normal because hidden text can be configured to remain visible on screen.
- Open File → File Preferences → View and check whether Hidden Text is selected.
- If you do not want the content to appear on screen, clear the Hidden Text checkbox.
Why does the printed document look blank?
- First, check whether the main text in the document has been formatted as hidden text.
- Open File → File Preferences → Print and check the current Hidden Text option.
- If it is set to Do not print hidden text, change it to Print hidden text, or remove the hidden-text attribute before printing.
How do I remove hidden text after it has been applied?
- Turn on hidden text display first so you can select the content.
- Select the hidden text, right-click it, and open Font.
- Clear the Hidden Text checkbox and confirm the change.
What is the difference between hidden text and strikethrough?
- Strikethrough keeps text visible and adds a line through it.
- Hidden text can be shown or hidden on screen based on the display setting, and its print output can be controlled separately.
- If you want to keep content without showing it directly in the current view or print result, hidden text is more suitable.
