When using View Code, common questions usually involve entry visibility, button status, and editor launch behavior; this section includes 3 common questions and a glossary.

FAQ

Why is the View Code button grayed out?

  1. Confirm that a WPS Writer document is currently open instead of another component window.
  2. Check whether the related macro environment on the Developer tab is available.
  3. If the button is still unavailable, reopen the document and check the button status again from the Developer tab.

Why does the editor not open after I click View Code?

  1. Click View Code again to rule out a delayed window switch.
  2. Check whether the VBA editor window is already open in the background.
  3. Close the current document, reopen it, and then try Developer > View Code again.

What should I check before running a macro?

  1. Back up the current document first so test code does not affect the original content.
  2. Only run macro code when you understand its purpose.
  3. After editing code, run a small test before using it in a formal document.
