WPS Office Premium

WPS Office, which was known until a while ago as Kingsoft Office, is a powerful suite that allows you to create documents, tables and presentations. It encloses a text processor, a spreadsheet application and a presentation creator. The programs use their own file types, yet they can also save documents in DOC, XLS or PPT file formats.

The setup process does not take very long as it does not come packed with any offers from third-party products. However, during it you are required to choose one of the available skins. Regardless of the one you choose, you should know that the interface is quite straightforward, and it is suitable to all types of users.

The “Writer” component is dedicated to text processing and features a lot of important functions such as text formatting, tables, drawing tools and equation editing tools. It also includes a powerful spell checker that provides suggestions while you are typing the text.

As a plus, all the programs have the ability to open multiple documents using separate tabs. This feature allows you to save desktop space and to organize your documents better. In order to automate certain tasks you can record macros and edit them using the Visual Basic Editor.

The “Spreadsheets” application deals with tables and allows you to create formulae and to link data. You can also insert charts, shapes and images in order to create professional reports. If you need to analyze important information you can use the PivotTable tool which is included in the program.

The files that are created with the suite can be encrypted in order to protect them from being opened or modified. Another useful feature is to export your work as PDF files directly from the application, so that you can set advanced permissions to protect the file.

If you need to present your documents and spreadsheets to your team or to customers you can use the “Presentation” application that allows you to create slideshows. The presentations can include shapes, clipart, charts and sound effects to achieve the desired effect, while you can also make use of the provided transitions and design templates.

Last but not least, you should know this suite offers cloud support, so that you can easily save your documents there and access them from any device.

It is light on resources and provides multiple features that enable you to easily work with documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The interface is friendly to all user categories, the response time is good and there are sufficient options included to keep you busy for quite a while.
