FAQ

When using WPS Text Properties, common questions usually involve finding the entry, understanding playback differences, creating a character-by-character effect, and checking whether the selected object supports the feature; this FAQ includes 4 common questions and a glossary.

FAQ

Why can’t I find the Text Properties button?

1. Make sure you are working in WPS Presentation rather than another WPS app.
2. Select an object that already has an animation and contains text.
3. Click the Animations tab and check whether Text Properties appears.
4. If the object does not contain text, switch to a text box, a shape with text, or another text-based object and try again.

What is the difference between Text Properties and animation properties?

1. Animation properties are mainly used to control the animation effect itself, such as direction, timing, or related parameters.
2. Text Properties is used to control how the text plays within that animation.
3. If you want text to appear all at once, by paragraph, or by character, use Text Properties first.
4. If you need more detailed animation adjustments, continue with other animation settings afterward.

How do I make text appear character by character?

1. Select an object that already has an animation and contains text.
2. Click Text Properties on the Animations tab.
3. Select By Character.
4. Play the slide or preview the animation to confirm that the text appears one character at a time.

Why don’t I see an obvious change after applying a setting?

1. Check whether the object already has an animation.
2. Check whether the object actually contains text.
3. If the text is very short or has only one paragraph, the difference between playback modes may be less noticeable.
4. Try testing with multi-paragraph text or switch to By Character for a more visible change.
