About This Feature
Overview
WPS Text Properties on macOS is a presentation animation setting for text-containing objects that already have an animation applied. It helps you control how text appears during playback in WPS Presentation and supports common powerpoint editing workflows for slide pacing.
Core capabilities include:
- Play as one object: Play the text as a whole object when you want to reveal all content at once.
- Animate by paragraph: Show text paragraph by paragraph for step-by-step explanations.
- Animate by letter: Reveal text character by character for a typing-style effect.
- More text animations: Open additional animation settings for further adjustment.
This feature is useful for teaching slides, business reports, product walkthroughs, and structured presentations. It helps reduce information overload and makes it easier to control the order in which viewers see text.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you set animated text objects to play as one object, by paragraph, or by letter, and also provides an entry to more text animation settings. | Microsoft PowerPoint officially supports making text appear one line at a time with By Paragraph, and also supports By letter text animation with timing controls. | Google Slides officially supports animations for text, images, slides, and other objects, and can animate lists one click at a time during presentation. | Notion official help content focuses on writing, editing, and page organization, and does not document presentation-style text animation controls. | Adobe After Effects officially supports text layers, text animators, and selectors for animating text, but it is oriented toward motion design rather than slide-based paragraph playback. |
| Official Source | — | Animate text in PowerPoint | Add or change animations and transitions | Intro to writing & editing | Animating text in After Effects |
Advantage: WPS places whole-object, paragraph-based, and letter-based text playback options in one feature entry for faster slide editing.
Overall Conclusion
WPS Text Properties is focused on controlling text reveal timing inside presentation slides. Microsoft and Google also provide official text animation options, but their workflows and settings differ. Notion is centered on document collaboration, while Adobe is aimed at more advanced motion design work.
