#WPS OFFICE FREE TRIAL#
Great-looking presentations no longer require an expensive Office 365 subscription thanks to WPS Office.Īlthough WPS Office is free without ads, editing and search are disabled after the initial seven-day trial period. WPS faithfully opened existing documents with formatting and graphics intact, likewise saving files that open without issue in authentic Microsoft apps. There’s also wide compatibility with over 50 document and image file formats. WPS Office doesn’t just ape the Microsoft experience. (Curiously, the WPS mobile app has no such issues.) Paying a premium The app doesn’t do a great job accurately displaying bold text styling either, appearing only slightly heavier than normal even with standard fonts. Writer isn’t quite as robust, with little things like contextual menu synonyms-many common words I looked up offered no suggestions at all. Otherwise, WPS Office faithfully mimics the look, feel, and features of Microsoft’s venerable software, although there’s no real-time collaboration. WPS Office makes short work of Excel spreadsheets and much more, and the tabbed UI even shares space with Word and PowerPoint documents. Naturally, you can drag tabs into their own workspace as well. This approach keeps the screen free of window clutter when jumping between different document types, with the option to consolidate multiple documents of the same ilk into a split-screen view. Unlike the popular suite of standalone applications united by corporate synergy, WPS Writer, Spreadsheets, and Presentation documents coexist within a single tabbed workspace.
#WPS OFFICE FREE INSTALL#
For comparison’s sake, that’s less than a third of the disk space required to install Word alone.
#WPS OFFICE FREE FOR MAC#
WPS Office for Mac provides Microsoft-style word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations in a single native macOS application under 300MB in size. Who needs Microsoft Word when WPS Writer does almost everything for cheaper while retaining the same look and feel? All for one Unless you’re a hardcore Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint jockey who frequently collaborates with others, it’s time to take a new breed of all-in-one Office clones for a spin. If you’re looking to spend a lot less without sacrificing features, there are compelling options available. Despite the surging popularity of Chromebooks, many users prefer native desktop applications over cloud apps, and are willing to shell out $100 each year for the privilege. Microsoft Office dominates the productivity suite market, succumbing only recently to Google’s free alternative.
