Campus

Finish the paper. Do not gamble the laptop on a crack.

WPS is a reasonable free editor when the campus Microsoft seat is missing. It is a bad place to learn VBA. Install from Play, App Store, or wps.com only. This site is an independent handbook and is not affiliated with Kingsoft Office Software Corporation Limited.

What to use it for

Essays in DOCX, slide decks, PDF readings with highlights, a bus-ride typo fix. Scanner on the phone is the unsung feature. Play: cn.wps.moffice_eng. iOS: id1491101673.

What to keep on campus software

Macro-heavy finance homework, group work already in Google Docs, and anything the professor’s rubric says “must open in Word.” Round-trip once.

Citations and AI

WPS AI will invent sources. Your course probably forbids that. See AI and teachers.

Install like an adult

Play: cn.wps.moffice_eng. iOS: id1491101673. Windows: wps.com/download or 9NSGM705MQWC. A Discord “full setup” is how a semester laptop becomes a brick. If the campus already gave you Microsoft 365, use it for the rubric files and keep WPS for the bus.
