Hi 8Geee, thanks for the concern but it works fine in english :)

Also, the link to the sfs is english with the chinese stripped out.

The link I provided to the WPS web site http://wps-community.org/download.html suggests to only use the A20 in chinese, it says you might have some bugs in language other than chinese.

"Due to the development cycle problem, this release is intended to release for Chinese only. You can wait for next release or upgrade to this, but there might have some bugs that not function properly in language other than Chinese."

Been using it in english for two weeks with no ill effects to speak of and one small bug, when you change ui from original you have to change it back to original before trying another one of the 5 skins provided.

All in all it functions wonderfully and is an improvement over theA19p1 version.

Try it, you might like it. :wink:

Code: Select all

# wps
/usr/bin/wps: line 38: 28852 Illegal instruction     ${gInstallPath}/office6/${gApp} ${gOptExt} ${gOpt} "$@"
#
This happens regardless of whether "$@" is in the *.desktop file. Puppy Precise 571 Retro, Dell Latitude CPi D300XT (Specs. Correction: max ram 256mb, which mine has).

EDIT: local guru says I've got too old a relic. Guess I'll check out Softmaker, which is known working on this system with this Pup... oh well...

Illegal instruction is cpu too old, so we learned that it does not run on PII processor. Thanks for the feedback.

A pity it's closed-source :( I'd be at least willing to try a compile effort on it, if I could...

@perdido:

Would you happen to know if WPS has acquired a love for Francophones
since its last version?

It's a great suite, great-looking and all, but 275 million people on this
planet can't use it!!!

I did champion it for a while, until I fell out of love discovering that I couldn't
write a simple letter in my own language with it.

BFN.

Watermark?

#9 Post by ozsouth »

WPS office works well. Half the size of Libreoffice & fast.
Site docs say free version user docs will print with a watermark after 30 days, but I advanced the date in my bios & rebooted & no watermark.
Note: WPS office doesn't seem to be able to open earlier than office 97 docs/ssheets.

Landscape printing workaround

#10 Post by ozsouth »

I can't print landscape on my Brother 1210W printer - Libreoffice allows one to select PDF (default) or Postcript printing.
Postscript allows landscape printing on the Brother (and other printers, I suspect).
I've scoured forums & wps files for that option - unsuccessfully. The win version has a print setup dialog, allowing a choice.
Workaround is to Export to PDF, which then launches PDF viewer, then print from there. Success!

Hi Musher,

Sorry for this delayed response, I could not get logged in to answer.

It seems WPS has love for a lot of languages, including Francophones, as many languages appear to be in the process of translation.
See ----->http://wps-community.org/dev.html

There is a link at the top of that page that goes to github where the language packs reside.

Hi ozsouth,
Good catch, my Brother MFC-j450DW does not print landscape with WPS either. Thanks for supplying a work-around!

Kingsoft is my prefered,

#20 Post by Pelo »

My windows seven is seldom used, so i download big office suites on it, if ever i would need them for office work at home . Kingsoft is my prefered, compare to OOo or so popular Libre-Office here in our Puppy Linux Forum.
I will classiy as below
Puppy Linux first, with Abiword and Gnumeric
Googles docs, cloud (i use it)
Kingsoft on windows seven, there to be used if needed

IMO and for lot of people, Suites are like swiss knife, each tool is a light tool, less complete than the application only. You take place in your computer with apps you will never use.
Gnumeric can be 6MB, but it is only 6MB, for a spreadsheet application as good as EXCEL.
