About This Feature

Overview

Label is a control feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It is used to place descriptive text, prompts, or interface markers on a slide. After insertion, a label can work as a static text area and can also be used together with other controls to organize explanatory content on a presentation page.

Core tasks include:

Insert a label: add a Label control from Developer Tools and draw it on the slide.
Set common properties: adjust common items such as Caption, ForeColor, Font, and Name in the properties panel.

Typical scenarios include courseware notes, interactive slide annotations, and form-style presentation prototypes.
It helps solve two common needs: adding fixed explanatory text quickly and managing label content and style in one place.
Distinct: the entry is grouped in the Developer Tools area, and the inserted label can be refined further through the properties panel.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In WPS Presentation, you can insert a Label control from Developer Tools > Control Toolbox and set display text, color, font, and name in the properties panel.	Microsoft Word provides content controls on the Developer tab. They can be added and customized for templates, forms, and documents.	Google Docs lets users create drawings and insert shapes, lines, and text boxes, but this is part of a document drawing workflow rather than a slide control workflow.	Notion uses blocks as the basic content unit. Users can add text blocks, transform them, and drag them to rearrange content, but it does not provide a presentation control toolbox.	Adobe Acrobat supports editing PDF text and adding new text, which fits document editing workflows rather than slide label control insertion.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: It is designed for placing controls directly on presentation slides and adjusting their properties, which fits slide-based explanatory text scenarios.	Compared with WPS: content controls are centered on document and form workflows, not slide-page label controls.	Compared with WPS: text boxes and shapes are available through Drawing tools, but there is no slide control properties panel for label objects.	Compared with WPS: block editing is suited to document organization and knowledge pages rather than slide control editing.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF text and page editing instead of presentation control design.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to place fixed explanatory text directly on slides in WPS Presentation for Windows and continue adjusting object properties afterward, Label is a closer fit for that workflow. The other products can also handle text content, but they are mainly oriented toward documents, drawing tools, or PDF editing.
