About This Feature
Overview
Bold in WPS Presentation on Windows is a text formatting feature that makes selected text appear heavier, helping titles, keywords, and important points stand out more clearly.
Core tasks include:
- Apply bold from the ribbon: useful for standard editing and formatting workflows.
- Apply bold from the floating toolbar: useful for quick formatting right after selecting text.
- Apply bold from the right-click menu: useful when you also want to adjust related font settings.
- Toggle bold with a keyboard shortcut: useful for frequent editing and fast layout work.
Common use cases include title emphasis, keyword highlighting, and key-point marking in slides. It helps reduce repeated formatting steps and makes slide hierarchy easier to read.

| Capability Summary | Supports bold formatting for selected text through the ribbon, floating toolbar, right-click menu, and Ctrl+B. | Microsoft Word supports bold through the Mini toolbar, the Bold button on the Home tab, and Ctrl+B. | Google Docs supports bold from the toolbar, the Format > Text menu, and keyboard shortcuts. | Notion supports bold from the text styling menu, Ctrl+B, and Markdown ** while typing. | Adobe Acrobat supports editing text in editable PDFs and applying bold from text formatting controls. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides four common entry points for the same formatting task in one editing flow. Advantage: Ctrl+B matches familiar document-editing habits for faster slide formatting. | Compared with WPS: the official page describes the Mini toolbar, Home tab, and Ctrl+B, but does not highlight a right-click font path for this task. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports toolbar and menu formatting, but the official page is centered on document editing rather than slide layout work. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports shortcut-based and Markdown-based styling, which fits block editing rather than presentation text layout. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat can format editable PDF text, but this depends on editable PDF content and available fonts. |
