About This Feature
Overview
Font Size in WPS on macOS lets you change the font family and text size for spreadsheet cell content. You can adjust it from the Home tab, the floating toolbar, or the Format Cells panel, depending on whether you need a quick change or more detailed text formatting.
Core tasks include:
- Change font and preset font size from the Home tab for everyday formatting.
- Use the floating toolbar for quick local edits.
- Open Format Cells to set font, size, style, color, and effects together.
This feature is useful for report cleanup, presentation-ready spreadsheets, and team templates that need consistent text formatting.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports changing font and font size in spreadsheets through the ribbon, a floating toolbar, and the Format Cells panel, with related text style options in the same workflow. | Microsoft Support explains that Office apps such as Excel let users change selected text or cell font size from the Home tab, and a mini toolbar may also appear near the cursor. | The Google Docs product page highlights online document creation and collaboration, but this page does not focus on a dedicated spreadsheet-style font size workflow. | Notion lets users switch page typography styles and turn on Small text for a smaller page text display. | Adobe Acrobat lets users format PDF text by choosing a font and selecting or entering a font size value. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines quick-access controls and a more detailed formatting panel in one spreadsheet workflow. Distinct: the Format Cells panel can apply font, size, style, color, and effects together for cell text. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports font size changes and quick-access controls, but the referenced page is broader Office guidance rather than a spreadsheet cell formatting panel walkthrough. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes collaboration and document workflows on the referenced page, while WPS presents a more direct spreadsheet text-formatting path for this task. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page-level typography and a Small text toggle, not detailed spreadsheet cell font-size formatting. | Compared with WPS: Adobe supports font formatting for PDF text, but its workflow is centered on PDF editing rather than spreadsheet cell layout. |

Overall Conclusion: If you need both quick changes and more detailed text formatting for spreadsheet cells on macOS, WPS provides a focused workflow for this task. Other products also support text sizing or styling, but their referenced pages emphasize broader document collaboration, page styling, or PDF editing.
