About This Feature

Overview

Table Styles is a built-in formatting feature in WPS Presentation on Windows for improving the appearance of tables quickly. It helps you apply preset table styles, adjust style options, and clear an existing style when needed.

Core tasks include:

Configure table style options such as first row fill, first column fill, banded rows, and banded columns.
Apply preset table styles from the style gallery.
Clear a table style and return the table to its default unstyled state.

This feature is useful for class slides, business presentations, and data-focused pages where table readability and visual consistency matter.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides preset table styles in presentations, style preview, first-row/first-column/banded-row/banded-column options, and a clear style command.	Microsoft supports applying table styles and changing options such as Header Row, Total Row, Banded Rows, and Banded Columns.	Google Docs supports adding and editing tables, changing border styles and background colors, sorting rows, and pinning header rows; its official guidance focuses on document and slide table editing rather than a dedicated presentation table style gallery.	Notion offers table views and simple tables with row and column rearrangement, wrap text, and calculations, with a focus on database-style organization.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF structure and table accessibility editing rather than preset presentation table styles.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS focuses on direct table beautification inside presentation slides, with preset styles, option toggles, and a clear-style action in one workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers similar table-style controls, but the referenced guidance is broader and not centered on WPS-style presentation workflow wording.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes table editing and structure controls, while WPS is more directly oriented to slide table appearance presets.	Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for structured data organization and database views, but it is not designed as a slide table styling tool.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is better suited to PDF post-processing and accessibility structure work, not slide table style galleries.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to format and unify table appearance inside presentation slides, WPS Table Styles fits that workflow directly. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe all provide table-related capabilities, but their official materials place more emphasis on general document editing, database organization, or PDF structure work.
