When using WPS Document Components, common questions usually focus on field display, field updates, and content reuse; this page includes 4 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Why does the table of contents or some content show a string of code?
- This usually means the content is currently shown in field code view.
- Select the related content first and confirm whether it is a field object.
- Press Shift+Fn+F9 to switch between field code display and result display.
- If you still need to adjust it, check the current document view or related field settings.
Why is my field code not updating?
- Select the field content that you want to update.
- Press Fn+F9 to update it.
- If the result still does not change, check whether the field depends on document content, date values, or other parameters.
- If needed, insert the field again and test it one more time.
What content is suitable for AutoText?
- AutoText is suitable for common paragraphs, fixed notes, signature information, or reusable template text.
- Select the full content first, then save it to the AutoText library.
- Give each item a clear name so it is easier to find and insert later.
What happens after I unlink a field?
- After unlinking, the field content becomes static text.
- Static text no longer updates automatically when parameters or document content change.
- If you still need dynamic behavior, keep the field instead of unlinking it.
