This FAQ covers 4 common questions about creating new documents in WPS on Windows, including entry locations, shortcuts, template access, and saving habits.
FAQ
Why can’t I find the New entry?
- Make sure WPS is open and you are on the home screen instead of only inside a single editing page.
- If you are in an editing page, return to the home screen and look for New in the left navigation pane.
- You can also create a new file from File > New in an open spreadsheet window.
What should I do if Ctrl+N does not work?
- Click inside the WPS spreadsheet window to make sure it is the active app.
- Press Ctrl+N again and check whether a new blank spreadsheet opens.
- If it still does not respond, use the home screen or File menu method instead.
Why are some online templates unavailable?
- Some online templates display membership labels.
- Check the template details before using it.
- If a template is limited, choose a free template or use a local template instead.
Should I save a new document right away?
- It is recommended to save the file before entering important content.
- Choose a clear file name and save location for easier retrieval later.
- If you open several new files, saving them early helps avoid confusion between untitled files.
