FAQ

Why can't I find the app I want to use?

1. Make sure the target app is already installed on your device.
2. Confirm that the target app supports the current file format.
3. Run Open with Other Apps again and check whether the app list refreshes.
4. If the app still does not appear, update the target app and try again.

Why does the layout change after the file opens in another app?

1. Check whether the target app fully supports the current file format.
2. For documents with complex formatting, use a word processor with stronger compatibility.
3. If you only need to read the file, try a viewer that is better suited for previewing.
4. If you need to continue editing, review fonts, paragraph settings, and page layout first.

Why can't another app open the file?

1. Confirm that the target app supports the file format.
2. Check whether the target app version is outdated.
3. Close the target app and select it again.
4. If it still fails, convert the document to a format that the target app uses more commonly and try again.

Will changes made in another app return to WPS automatically?

1. After the file is opened in another app, whether changes are written back depends on how that app saves the file.
2. If the target app saves the result as a new file, the original file in WPS does not change automatically.
3. To keep the updated result, confirm the save location in the target app.
4. Return to WPS and reopen the relevant file to check the result.
