About This Feature
Overview
Text Glow Effect in WPS Presentation for Windows adds a glowing halo around text, making it useful for tech-style slides, dark-background pages, and content that needs stronger visual focus.
Core tasks include:
- Apply preset glow styles for quick formatting.

| Capability Summary | WPS Presentation lets you apply a glow effect to text and adjust color, size, and transparency. | Microsoft Office supports Glow for text and objects, with presets plus color, size, and transparency options. | Google Docs supports drawings, Word Art, text boxes, and shape formatting, but the official help page does not describe a native text glow setting. | Notion supports text styling, colors, and highlights, but its official help content does not describe a glow-style text effect. | Adobe Express provides text effects and customizable shadow settings, but the official page reviewed focuses on shadow rather than a matching presentation text glow workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct text glow entry inside the presentation editing workflow and supports continued adjustment of color, size, and transparency. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports Glow, but its documentation covers multiple Office apps and uses a broader formatting path. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on drawings and Word Art tools, and the official help page does not show direct text glow controls. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on document styling and collaboration, with text color and highlight options rather than glow controls. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express emphasizes design-canvas text effects such as shadow, and the reviewed official page does not show the same glow parameter set used in presentation editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add glow styling to presentation text quickly, WPS offers a direct workflow inside slide editing and keeps the key glow parameters close at hand. Other products provide related text styling or design tools, but their official guidance does not present the same presentation-focused glow path in the same way.
