About This Feature
Overview
Italic text in WPS Presentation is a text-formatting feature that applies italic styling to selected text. It is useful for quotations, terminology labels, and local emphasis in slide layouts.
Core tasks include:
- Apply italic formatting from the ribbon for routine editing.
- Apply italic formatting from the floating toolbar for quick inline changes.
- Open font settings from the right-click menu for style-related adjustments.
- Use Ctrl + I to toggle italic formatting during frequent editing.
This feature helps create clearer visual hierarchy in slides so key words and phrases stand out from surrounding text.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS Presentation lets you apply italic formatting to selected text through the ribbon, floating toolbar, right-click font settings, and the Ctrl + I shortcut. | Microsoft Word lets you format selected text and apply italics from the pop-up toolbar or the Home tab. | Google Docs provides online document editing, collaboration, and formatting in the browser. | Notion supports italic text through Markdown syntax and the Ctrl + I shortcut for selected text. | Adobe Acrobat lets you edit PDF text and apply Italic and other text styles from formatting controls. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides four common entry points for the same italic action, which fits different editing habits. Advantage: Both button-based and keyboard-based paths can toggle italic formatting directly. | Compared with WPS: the official page shows italics from the pop-up toolbar or Home tab, but it does not present the same slide-focused multi-entry workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs emphasizes online collaboration and document workflows, and the product page does not focus on a single italic action across multiple entry points. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports italics and shortcuts, but it is centered more on block-based writing and Markdown editing than slide layout work. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat can edit PDF text and apply Italic formatting, but its main scenario is PDF revision rather than presentation text layout. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS keeps italic formatting closely tied to everyday presentation editing, with clear entry points and direct toggles. If your main task is slide editing and local emphasis, WPS offers a more concentrated workflow; if your work centers on browser collaboration, knowledge-base writing, or PDF revision, the other products fit those scenarios differently.
