Before you start

Work on copies. Keep the original in the suite that created it until the test passes. Kingsoft lists many extensions. Your contract, payroll sheet, or slide master is the only list that matters.

A blank document proving nothing is how people get surprised on Sunday night. Pick the file you cannot afford to break.

Steps

  1. Pick the file you cannot afford to break Not a blank document. A real one with headers, comments, or charts.
  2. Open in WPS and Save As the same format DOCX stays DOCX. Do not “helpfully” convert to an old binary unless you must.
  3. Open the copy in Microsoft 365 or LibreOffice Compare page count, chart values, comment threads, and a heading font.
  4. Note macros and complex fields If VBA or nested fields fail, park that job in Microsoft. See the formulas guide.
  5. Decide per workflow, not per ideology Daily notes can stay in WPS. Court filings might not. See the compare page.
