FAQ
How do I quickly switch to Page View in WPS on macOS?
- Open a WPS Docs document.
- Use View > Page in the top menu bar, or click the Page View icon in the bottom status bar.
- After switching, the document appears in a page-based layout.
What is the difference between Page View and other document views?
- Page View shows page size, margins, headers and footers, image placement, and columns.
- Other views may focus more on structure browsing or continuous reading instead of page-based layout.
- If you need to review formatting before printing, Page View is usually the more suitable choice.
Why do new documents often open in Page View?
- New documents often open in a view that is convenient for editing and layout review.
- If the current document is not in Page View, you can switch back from the View tab or the status bar.
- After switching, you can continue editing page by page.
Can I still edit the document after hiding page white space?
- Yes. Hiding page white space mainly expands the visible area on the screen.
- It does not change the document content itself.
- To show the white space again, move the pointer to the page break area and use the on-screen prompt to switch it back.
