| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you insert a new table through Tools → Insert → Table and remove an existing table in the document editing flow. | Microsoft Word official help provides a broad Word help hub with formatting and insert-related learning resources, but the retrieved official page is a general help entry rather than a focused iOS insert-table workflow page. | Google Docs official help explains how to add and delete tables and adjust rows, columns, and styles, with the detailed instructions mainly shown for computer use. | Notion official help explains table views and simple tables, with a stronger focus on database-style organization, properties, and view management. | Adobe Acrobat official help centers on PDF creation, text editing, images, objects, and document organization rather than a standard word-processing table insertion workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the entry path is direct for mobile document editing; Distinct: the same feature area covers both inserting and deleting tables for common document layout tasks. | Compared with WPS: the retrieved official page is broader and less focused on this specific mobile table workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs documents richer desktop table editing options, while the retrieved guidance is less centered on a simple iOS word-processing path. | Compared with WPS: Notion tables are more oriented to databases and information management than traditional document layout. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF editing and document conversion instead of table insertion in a writer-style document. |
