When using WPS Attachments, common questions usually focus on file size, saving behavior, and later extraction; this FAQ covers 3 common questions.
FAQ
Will attachments increase the workbook file size?
- Yes. Attachment files are embedded into the workbook.
- The more attachments you add, and the larger those files are, the larger the workbook usually becomes.
- If you need to control workbook size, keep only necessary attachments and review the file size before saving.
Why can't I find the Attachments button?
- First, confirm that you are using WPS Spreadsheets rather than another WPS app.
- Open the Insert tab and check whether the Attachments entry is shown in the ribbon.
- If the entry is not visible, update WPS Office to the latest version and check again.
Can I extract an inserted attachment to my local device later?
- Yes. An inserted attachment can be extracted and saved locally later.
- Open the workbook that contains the attachment and locate the related attachment item.
- Use the available open, save as, or extract option shown in the current interface to save it.
