Russification of WPS Office:
1. Open a terminal and go to the folder with installed program team
Cd /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/dicts
2. Then download the archive with the Russian dictionary (spell check) from the official website
Sudo wget http://wps-community.org/download/dicts/ru_RU.zip
3. And unpack it
Sudo unzip ru_RU.zip
4. The item was relevant for version A20-A20P1, but is now irrelevant and has been removed. 5. After launching in the settings, change the language to Russian: 5.1. Click the arrow in the upper left corner of the window; 5.2. Select "Tools -> Change language" 5.3. Restart WPS Office.
Ready. Now you have a good office that perfectly supports MSO text and table formats (in the case of viewing and presentation).
Additional WPS Office setup
1. WPS Office by default saves documents in its own formats, however, they are almost completely identical to Microsoft formats, so we’ll switch it to saving in MCO formats by default. Repeat these steps separately for WPS Writer, Spreadsheets, Presentation.
1.1. Click the arrow in the upper left corner of the window:
1.2. Tools -> Options -> General and Saving
1.3. Set the desired format as default.
2. In the same place we change the encoding of web pages to UTF-8
3. We also set the switch there so that when WPS Office starts, it does not open an online collection of templates, which takes time to load, but simply a blank document.
Automatic backup
Please note that WPS Office comes with automatic backup, thanks to which it automatically saves documents opened in it at certain intervals to a specific directory.
