About This Feature
Overview
Font and Size is a common text formatting feature in WPS Sheets for macOS. It helps you change how text looks inside cells, including font style and text size. You can use the Home tab, the right-click menu, or the Format Cells dialog box to apply changes, and you can also type a custom size directly. This is useful when you want to improve spreadsheet readability, highlight important values, or create a more consistent layout in WPS Office.
Typical tasks include:
- Set a font from the ribbon
- Set a font size from the ribbon
- Set a font from the right-click menu
- Set a font size from the right-click menu
- Set both font and size in the Format Cells dialog box
- Understand the difference between system fonts and cloud fonts

| Capability Summary | WPS Sheets lets you change font and font size through the ribbon, the right-click menu, and the Format Cells dialog box, and it supports direct custom size input. | Microsoft Office lets users change selected text size in desktop Excel, Word, and PowerPoint from the Home tab Font Size box, and users can type a value directly. | Google Docs lets users change fonts and font sizes from the toolbar and the Format menu, and it also provides increase and decrease font size actions. | Notion provides page-level typography choices such as Default, Serif, and Mono, and it includes a Small text option for a smaller page text display. | Adobe Acrobat lets users change font size when editing PDF text boxes, comments, or text content in PDF editing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps multiple entry points in the same spreadsheet editing workflow, including quick menu access and a dialog box for more detailed formatting; it also supports direct custom size input for large text values. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on changing font size and default font settings, but it does not present spreadsheet right-click and cell-format dialog paths together on the same page. | Compared with WPS: it is more focused on document formatting in a browser-based editor, with less emphasis on spreadsheet cell formatting paths than WPS Sheets. | Compared with WPS: it focuses on page-wide typography styles and small text display rather than spreadsheet cell font formatting. | Compared with WPS: it is centered on PDF text editing and annotation rather than spreadsheet font and size formatting. |

Overall Conclusion: If your main task is changing font and size inside spreadsheet cells, WPS on macOS provides a workflow that stays close to spreadsheet editing with several built-in entry points. Other products are better aligned with their own primary scenarios, such as online documents, page styling, or PDF editing.
