Capability Summary	Supports inserting images from the top menu bar, slash commands, drag-and-drop, and paste, then managing them with borders, rotation, descriptions, hyperlinks, text recognition, and side-by-side layout.	Word supports Insert > Pictures from a device, stock images, or online pictures, with resize, movement, and text wrapping options.	Google Docs supports Insert > Image, drag-and-drop, copy and paste, image replacement, and image options such as size, rotation, and layout.	Notion supports /image, drag-and-drop, upload, image links, captions, alt text, crop, resize, and flexible arrangement in pages.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines menu insertion, slash-command insertion, drag-and-drop, paste, and image management in one document workflow for continuous illustrated editing.	Compared with WPS: Word provides mature image insertion and layout controls, while the referenced page mainly highlights insertion sources, resizing, and wrapping.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs offers multiple image sources and document image options, while the referenced page does not show a slash-command style insertion flow.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers flexible block-based media handling and captions, but its page workflow differs from a traditional document editing path.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more focused on PDF editing than general word-processing style document creation.
