About This Feature
Overview
WPS Spell Check is a built-in proofreading feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It checks spelling in slide text and provides actions such as Change, Change All, Ignore, Ignore All, Add to Dictionary, and Delete during review.
Core tasks include:
- Open Spell Check: Start spell checking from the Review tab or by pressing F7.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports spell checking in presentation files, with Change, Change All, Ignore, Ignore All, Add to Dictionary, Delete, and options such as ignoring uppercase words, ignoring words with numbers, and always suggesting corrections. | Microsoft Office proofing options include ignoring uppercase words, words with numbers, and internet or file addresses across Office programs such as Word or PowerPoint. | Google Docs supports spelling and grammar review, lets users accept or ignore suggestions, and allows words to be added to a personal dictionary. | Notion uses browser spell check on the web and has built-in spell check on desktop that can be enabled or disabled from the context menu. | Adobe Acrobat can run spell check in comments and fields and lets users add, delete, or change entries in a custom dictionary. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Provides a direct spell-check entry point in the presentation workspace and supports F7 for quick access. Distinct: Combines review actions and custom dictionary management in a presentation editing workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation emphasizes general Office proofing settings across apps rather than a presentation-focused workflow in one page. | Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance is centered on Google Docs in the browser, not a Windows presentation client workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion spell check is part of a general writing environment, and web behavior depends on browser settings. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF comments and form fields rather than slide editing. |
| Official Source | — | Ignore uppercase words, numbers, or Internet addresses when checking spelling | Check your spelling & grammar in Google Docs | Intro to writing & editing | Check spellings and manage custom dictionaries in Acrobat |
Overall Conclusion: For spell checking in Windows presentation work, WPS offers a direct entry point, common review actions, and custom dictionary settings in one workflow. Other products also provide spelling tools, but their official guidance is more focused on general office proofing, browser-based writing, or PDF editing.
