About This Feature
Overview
Paper Size in WPS Spreadsheet on macOS is a page setup feature for choosing the paper format before printing. It is commonly used with print preview to check layout and pagination before output. Common preset sizes include A4, A3, and Letter.
Core tasks include:
- Select a preset paper size for common print formats.
- Open more page setup options for paper-related settings.
