When using WPS Drawing Tools on Android, common questions usually involve feature entry visibility, editing state, and layout results; this section covers 4 frequent questions and answers.

FAQ

Why can’t I see the Drawing Tools entry?

  1. Confirm that the current file is a WPS Writer document.
  2. Make sure the document is in editing mode instead of reading mode.
  3. Tap a shape in the document, then check whether Drawing Tools-related options appear under Tools.

Why can’t I edit the text inside a shape?

  1. Select the target shape first.
  2. Tap Edit Text on the floating toolbar, or open Drawing Tools and choose Add Text.
  3. If you still cannot type, check whether the document is in reading mode.

Why does the page layout change a lot after I change wrapping?

  1. Wrapping directly affects the relationship between body text and the shape.
  2. Switch between options such as In Line with Text, Top and Bottom, and Square to compare the page result.
  3. After choosing the wrapping mode, move the shape to a suitable position.

Why didn’t other shapes change after I updated one border style?

  1. Border line style, color, and thickness apply only to the currently selected shape.
  2. To update another shape, select that object again.
  3. Repeat the same steps for each shape you want to format.
