How-to Guide

1. Insert Attachments

Entry point: Insert → Attachments

  1. Place the cursor where you want to insert the attachment.
  2. Click the Insert tab on the top menu bar.
  3. Click the Attachments button.
  4. In the pop-up options, select the insertion method you need.
  5. Select the target file or continue with the next settings to finish insertion.

Success Criteria

  • UI state: An attachment icon, object preview, imported text, or signature content appears in the document.
  • Next actions: You can double-click the object to open it or continue editing the document body.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistakes: If you do not place the cursor first, the attachment may be inserted in an unexpected position.
  • Environment limits: A network connection is needed when inserting cloud documents.

2. Understand the Four Insertion Methods

Entry point: Insert → Attachments

  1. Open the Attachments entry.
  2. Review the available methods: Attachment, Object, Text from File, and Signature.
  3. When you choose Attachment, the file is usually shown as an icon and is suitable for keeping the original file format.
  4. When you choose Object, the file content preview can be shown directly, such as the first page of a PDF.
  5. When you choose Text from File, the file content can be imported as text into the current document.
  6. When you choose Signature, a signature can be inserted as an image into the document.

Success Criteria

  • UI state: You can clearly identify the display result of each insertion method.
  • Next actions: You can choose the most suitable method based on the document goal.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistakes: If you do not distinguish between Attachment and Object, the final display result may not match your expectation.

3. Open and Edit Attachments

Entry point: An attachment icon or object preview in the document

  1. Find the inserted attachment icon or object preview in the document.
  2. Double-click the attachment icon or object preview.
  3. Wait for WPS or the related program to open the attachment.
  4. After editing, save the changes. The updated content will be stored in the current document.

Success Criteria

  • UI state: The attachment opens normally and enters an editable state.
  • Next actions: After saving, you can return to the original document and continue working.
  • No side effects: The original file is not directly overwritten by editing inside the document.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistakes: If the related program is not installed, some objects may not launch normally.
  • Environment limits: Some file formats require a corresponding local application to be installed.

4. Delete Attachments

Entry point: Select an attachment object in the document

  1. Click the attachment icon or object in the document to select it.
  2. Press the Delete key to remove the attachment.
  3. Check whether the document layout needs further adjustment.

Success Criteria

  • Next actions: You can continue editing the text or insert another attachment.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistakes: If the object is not selected before you press Delete, you may remove body text instead.
