About This Feature
Overview
Multidimensional Rich Text Field is a built-in field type in WPS on macOS for storing long-form content inside table records with formatting.
Core capabilities include:
- Create a rich text field so a table can include a dedicated column for detailed descriptions.
- Edit rich text content with formatting such as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, headings, lists, links, and images.
This feature is useful for project notes, progress tracking, detailed remarks, and knowledge records that need clearer structure inside a table view.

| Capability Summary | WPS multidimensional tables support a rich text field for long content with text styles, heading levels, lists, links, and images inside a cell. | Microsoft Loop supports text formatting, headings, checklists, links, and Markdown conversion, but the public page does not describe a table-field configuration equivalent to a rich text record field. | Google Sheets supports rich text in cells, including styled text runs and links within a cell value. | Notion data sources support a rich_text property for database columns. | Adobe Acrobat text form fields support multi-line input and rich text formatting. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines field creation and in-cell rich text editing in the same multidimensional table workflow, which fits record-based management well. | Compared with WPS: more focused on collaborative page content and text blocks, with no clear public description of an equivalent rich text table field. | Compared with WPS: focused on spreadsheet cell styling rather than a dedicated record-detail field type. | Compared with WPS: supports a rich_text database property, but the public reference focuses more on schema and property types than on in-field editing tools. | Compared with WPS: mainly targets PDF form fields rather than multidimensional table records. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Multidimensional Rich Text Field is a practical fit for record-based table workflows that need both structured data and detailed formatted notes in one place. Compared with document blocks, spreadsheet cell styling, or PDF form fields, it is closer to a field-and-record management scenario.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project progress notes | Project managers and team leads | Long updates are hard to read in plain text | Use headings and lists in a rich text field to organize stage updates |
| 2 | Task remarks | Team members and collaborators | Cell notes become scattered and hard to scan | Add emphasis, links, and lists inside the same record |
| 3 | Knowledge records | Operations, product, and support teams | Structured explanations need to stay with table data | Store long descriptions and references in a dedicated field |
| 4 | Customer follow-up details | Sales and service teams | Background notes are too long for short text fields | Keep multi-paragraph notes directly in each record |
| 5 | Export preparation | Teams preparing archives | Formatting may change after export | Review and organize content before export and keep the original table as reference |
