What is the difference between an inserted spreadsheet and a normal table?

  1. An inserted spreadsheet supports formulas, filtering, sorting, and drop-down lists for data handling.

  3. If you need ongoing calculation or structured data work inside the document, use an inserted spreadsheet.

Can the spreadsheet display across pages?

  1. Yes. The spreadsheet can display according to the content and page layout.
  2. When the content is large, review the page layout to check readability after a page break.
  3. If needed, adjust the spreadsheet size or content distribution for clearer presentation.

Can I export the spreadsheet separately?

  1. Yes. First click the target spreadsheet to open the floating toolbar.
  2. Click More and select Save as spreadsheet.
  3. After saving, you get a new smart spreadsheet file for separate editing.

Why do I not see the spreadsheet option after typing /?

  1. Make sure the cursor is in an editable paragraph.
  2. After typing /, continue with Spreadsheet or sheet to narrow the search.
  3. If it still does not appear, check whether the current document supports this editing environment and update WPS Office if needed.
