About This Feature
Overview
Alignment Method in WPS Office for macOS is a paragraph formatting feature in WPS Slides that helps you adjust how text is arranged inside a text box or placeholder. Common tasks include switching directly between left, center, and right alignment, and opening more settings for additional paragraph adjustments.
Core tasks include:
- Apply alignment quickly: Use the Paragraph area on the Home tab to switch common alignment options.
- Open more settings: Go to More Settings to review and adjust additional paragraph-related options.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Slides, you can open Alignment Method from the Paragraph area on the Home tab and continue with More Settings for additional adjustments. | Word provides paragraph alignment options such as left, center, right, and justify for document paragraphs. | Google Docs lets you change paragraph alignment from the toolbar at the top of the document or from the Format menu, with related shortcuts. | Notion does not currently provide traditional left, center, right, or justified paragraph alignment for regular text blocks. | Adobe InDesign provides left, center, right, and multiple justify options, along with additional paragraph alignment controls for page layout work. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The alignment entry is available directly in the main slide editing area. Distinct: It combines quick alignment switching with a More Settings entry for routine presentation formatting. | Compared with WPS: Word focuses on document paragraph formatting rather than slide-page editing workflows. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses on online document editing, so the alignment workflow is centered on document pages instead of presentation slides. | Compared with WPS: Notion does not offer traditional paragraph alignment buttons for standard text editing, so common slide-style alignment tasks are not directly available. | Compared with WPS: Adobe offers broader professional layout controls, but the workflow is more oriented to publishing and design software than everyday slide editing. |
