| Capability Summary | WPS Presentation on macOS provides entry points for finding text, replacing text, and replacing fonts inside a presentation editing workflow. | PowerPoint supports finding and replacing text in presentations, and Microsoft also documents Mac shortcuts for opening search and replace. | Google Slides supports finding and replacing words in presentations, and Google Slides API also supports global search and replace for presentation text. | Notion supports workspace search and in-page search, while formula functions include replace and replaceAll for text processing rather than slide editing. | Acrobat supports searching text in PDFs, and the Find toolbar includes a Replace With option for text replacement in the current PDF workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps find text, replace text, and replace font actions in one presentation editing flow, which is practical for updating wording and typography together. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation here focuses on text find and replace plus shortcuts; font replacement is documented separately through other formatting guidance. | Compared with WPS: Google help focuses on text find and replace in Slides, while broader global replacement details are mainly documented in the API workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on workspace search and text processing, not a direct slide-editing replacement workflow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF search and replacement, where replacement is handled within PDF editing rather than a presentation authoring interface. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Find and Replace on macOS fits everyday presentation editing well because it combines text lookup, text replacement, and font replacement in one workflow. If your work is centered on online collaboration, workspace search, or PDF editing, Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each provide related capabilities in their own product contexts.
