If you're a Microsoft Word user looking to enhance your document interaction without requiring the full version of Microsoft Office, WPS Writer is definitely worth considering.
This free office suite, designed to be compatible with Microsoft Office documents, boasts a range of features that make it easy to create interactive forms right within the application.
A notable feature in WPS Writer is its integrated form creation feature.
The 'Insert' menu allows users to add interactive fields to their document with ease.
Think of it as creating a quiz or survey that requires users to input specific information.
The first process in creating an interactive form within WPS Writer is to navigate to the 'Insert' menu., where selecting the 'Form' tool will add a field to your document.
Selecting the 'Form' tool allows WPS Writer to add a customizable form field to your document.
When creating a form, you'll be able to choose from various field types, including basic text and rating fields.
You can customize the layout of your form using the 'Format' menu, adjusting font, color, and alignment as needed.
If you're looking to create a visually appealing form, this function comes in particularly handy.
One thing to note when working with forms in WPS Writer is that they are only interactive when the document is shared or printed in a format that allows users to input information. When viewed or printed in a standard PDF or word format, the form appears static, preserving the layout you've created while maintaining the functionality of a regular document.
To further customize the interactive features of your form, you can use the 'Protection' option under the 'Review' tab. Here, you can set restricted access for the form fields themselves, limiting users to edit or input only what is required.
The interactive form feature in WPS Writer is a notable advantage, particularly for documents intended for audience engagement.
