About This Feature

Overview

Fill in the Blank Question is one of the question types available in Smart Forms in WPS for Windows. It is suitable for quizzes, surveys, registrations, and information collection where respondents need to type their own answers. You can add a fill-in-the-blank question, edit the prompt, preview the display, and save or publish the updated setup so later submissions follow the latest settings.

Core tasks include:

Add a fill-in-the-blank question for text-based responses.
Edit the question content and related settings.
Preview the question before release.
Save or publish the setup for later submissions.

Capability Summary	Provides a fill-in-the-blank question entry in the Smart Forms editor, with editing, preview, and save or publish actions for later submissions.	Microsoft Forms lets users build quizzes with question types such as Text, but the official help page does not describe a dedicated fill-in-the-blank question type.	Google Forms lets users turn a form into a quiz and assign answers and points for Short answer and other question types, but the official help page does not describe a dedicated fill-in-the-blank question type.	Notion Forms supports text, multiple choice, date, and other question types connected to databases; conditional logic is limited to Business and Enterprise plans.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on public web forms, signatures, and document workflows rather than quiz-style blank-answer grading.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The question entry is part of the Smart Forms editing flow. Distinct: editing, preview, save, and publish can be completed in one focused workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms supports quiz building, but the official page presents general question types instead of a dedicated fill-in-the-blank entry.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms can cover a similar scenario with Short answer, but the official page does not present a dedicated fill-in-the-blank entry.	Compared with WPS: Notion connects forms closely with databases, but some advanced logic depends on higher plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on signing and public web-form collection than question setup for quiz workflows.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure a fill-in-the-blank question quickly inside a Smart Forms workflow, WPS keeps the path focused around editing, previewing, saving, and publishing. Other products can support related scenarios, but their official documentation emphasizes broader quiz types, database-backed forms, or signing workflows instead.
