About This Feature
Overview
Insert Table is a built-in editing feature in WPS Writer for Android that helps you organize data, lists, and comparisons in a structured layout.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a new table: choose a table style and set the number of rows and columns before inserting it into the document.

| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS Writer lets you insert a table through Tools → Insert → Table and delete a selected table from the document. | Word supports inserting tables in documents and choosing the number of rows and columns. | Google Docs supports inserting tables in documents for structured content editing. | Notion supports simple tables and database-style tables for organizing information in pages. | Acrobat focuses on PDF viewing, commenting, and conversion rather than native editable table insertion in mobile word-processing documents. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS supports both table insertion and table deletion directly in the Android document editing flow, which fits mobile document formatting. | Compared with WPS: table insertion is available, but the workflow is centered on the Microsoft document and account environment. | Compared with WPS: table editing is tied to the Google Docs document environment and is often used in online collaboration workflows. | Compared with WPS: the product emphasizes page blocks and databases more than traditional word-processing layout. | Compared with WPS: the product is more focused on PDF workflows than editable table work inside a word-processing document. |

Overall Conclusion: If you mainly edit Writer documents on an Android device and want a direct way to insert or remove tables, WPS provides a straightforward mobile workflow. Other products may fit better when your work is centered on online collaboration, database-style pages, or PDF processing.
