About This Feature

Overview

Eraser is a table border editing feature in WPS Presentation. It helps you remove row and column dividers quickly, and removing the border between adjacent cells can create a merged-cell effect.

Core capabilities include:

Start Eraser: Select a table and open Eraser from the Table Style tab.
Remove table borders: Click a highlighted border to remove that divider.
Exit Eraser mode: Press Esc or switch to another tool to end the current mode.

This feature is useful for refining complex table structures, creating irregular headers, and adjusting table layouts in presentation slides.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Eraser entry in presentation tables, lets you remove individual borders, and can create a merged-cell effect by removing borders between adjacent cells.	Word provides an Eraser tool for removing individual table borders, and you can press Esc when finished.	Google Docs supports border styling, merging cells, and splitting cells, but it does not present a separate Eraser tool in its table help flow.	Notion offers table views and simple tables for organizing content, rather than traditional document-style border erasing.	Acrobat focuses on editing PDF text and page content, and its official editing guidance does not describe a table border eraser for document tables.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is directly tied to the table editing workflow in WPS Presentation. Distinct: Removing borders can immediately help reshape slide table layouts.	Compared with WPS: Word offers a similar border-erasing action, but the cited workflow is documented for Word table editing rather than presentation table editing.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs relies on border settings and merge actions instead of a dedicated eraser workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion tables are oriented toward databases and structured content management, not fine-grained slide table border editing.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF editing, so its documented workflow is not aimed at presentation table border cleanup.

Overall Conclusion

If you need to adjust table dividers directly inside presentation slides, WPS Eraser fits that workflow closely. Other products provide related table or document editing features, but their documented paths focus on document tables, database-style tables, or PDF editing rather than slide table border removal.
