Improved version of WPS Office 2007:2005
Latest version: WPS Office 2009 Personal Edition/Professional Edition Beta Edition
The three major functional softwares of WPS Office 2009 Professional Edition-WPS text, WPS table and WPS demonstration-correspond to foreign general-purpose softwares Word, Excel and PowerPoint one by one, and are not inferior to foreign general-purpose softwares in terms of functional completeness, and have outstanding characteristics in Internet applications.
The compatibility problem that users have been concerned about, WPS Office 2009 Professional Edition has also made an unimaginable leap, so this evaluation, our focus first points to compatibility and Internet applications.
Test product: WPS Office 2009 Professional Edition
Product introduction:
Wpsoffice 2009 Professional Edition (hereinafter referred to as WPS 2009) includes WPS text, WPS form, WPS and WPS Office 2009 demonstration software, which is a cross-platform office software. It can run on both Windows operating system and mainstream Linux operating system.
WPS 2009 itself is a product developed according to cross-platform technology. The author compares the effect of the same document on Windows platform and Linux platform, and finds that the effect is completely consistent.
Best recommended function 1: High compatibility makes Office a twin brother.
WPS, which has always emphasized the differentiated development, completely adjusted its technical route in the 2005 edition, focusing on compatibility. The author found that this "compatibility spirit" has greatly surpassed the previous software interface and file format, and really penetrated into the underlying technology of software, making a breakthrough in the interoperability of "technical" files such as encryption and macros.
Undeniably, under the impetus of piracy, the usage habit of foreign Office has become the default standard, which is an unavoidable fact that any other Office manufacturer must face. How to make users give products the greatest recognition and satisfaction with the minimum conversion cost is a problem that has been plaguing Jinshan. In 2002, after four months of painful choices, Jinshan finally made a decision that surprised the industry: give up the traditional WPS technology with a history of 14 years, reconstruct the code, and build a new generation of office platform!
The software consists of three modules. WPS text, WPS table and WPS demonstration correspond strictly to MS Office's Word, Excel and PowerPoint. No matter which module of WPS software, what we see is a typical XP-style operation interface, and the settings of toolbars and some function buttons are almost the same as those of MS Office. If it weren't for the icon prompt in the upper left corner of the file, users could hardly tell each other apart.
Keep consistent with MS Office, achieve compatibility with users' operating habits, and let users really get started in "zero time", which greatly reduces the difficulty of software promotion and use, effectively reduces training time and greatly reduces the cost of software migration.
The compatibility of operating habits is only a sign of "compatibility spirit". All kinds of files can be opened, and the content display is the same. This is the core issue that users care about. Indeed, especially in this era of communication, how can we tolerate the obstacles that prevent us from communicating with the outside world because of incompatibility? Therefore, if the WPS 2005 file format is not fully compatible with MS Office, then WPS 2005 users will become Robinson on an isolated island.
The compatibility between WPS 2005 and foreign mainstream Office is not the general one-way compatibility that WPS 2005 can only open other Office files, but the breakthrough two-way compatibility! Format compatibility is not limited to this. We have noticed that the files read by MS Office and WPS 2005, whether in Chinese or English, can achieve the exact effect word by word and line by line! The author believes that Jinshan company must have made a major breakthrough in technology to achieve this precise compatibility. Because some foreign Office companies once thought that word-to-word and line-to-line compatibility was impossible.
Not only is the file format compatible with the operating habits, but the author also found that WPS Office can directly open encrypted DOC, XLS and PPT files when he knows the password. Moreover, WPS Office 2005 can also directly open DOC documents with macro codes, which relieves the worries of advanced users of MS Office when transferring files.
The realization of two deep compatibility, the opening of encryption and decryption file channel and the direct operation of VBA macro code are still technical bottlenecks that other office software can't break through.
WPS tables can be referenced across Excel files. If the referenced XLS file data changes, the referenced data in the WPS table file will also be updated synchronously. This function embodies the data consistency and application leap of product compatibility.
WPS demonstration is highly compatible in animation effect, graphic type and multi-motherboard support.
Best recommendation function 2: Internet application starts from "small"
According to the report released by China Internet Network Information Center, as of June 30th this year, the total number of Internet users in China has exceeded 654.38+billion, reaching 654.38+300 million. The computerization and networking of office has become a reality. The use of office software and Internet is no longer the patent of a few people. Therefore, whether it can be more closely integrated with the Internet has become an important standard to test the advanced nature of office software.
An office software installation program only takes 23M. Just heard this description, I still can't believe it. I realized that this "small" will just lay the foundation for the Internet application of WPS 2005.
We are used to foreign software taking up a lot of hard disk space and taking a long time to install. When we first saw WPS 2005, we were really happy, not only because the software installation package was only 23M, but also because the reporter completed all the operations in 2 minutes when he first installed it.
Another notable feature of this product is that you can directly copy the installation directory to install the software, or you can directly delete the installation directory to uninstall the software. This application is very environmentally friendly.
In recent years, anti-virus software has provided users with convenient services through online upgrade on the Internet. Now, WPS 2005 transplanted the function of automatic upgrade of antivirus software to office software applications.
The automatic upgrade function of WPS 2005 does not require users to do anything. When the latest technical research results come out, WPS 2005 will be updated and automatically downloaded and installed. This function ensures that users can get the latest functions of WPS 2005 in the shortest time. This upgrade method is also very flexible. Users can upgrade through the Internet or through local servers, which is very convenient.
In WPS 2005, an authorization protection technology called KRM was applied for the first time. According to the R&D personnel of Jinshan Company, the function of this technology is that users can set the authorization scope according to their needs, including whether and to what extent objects are allowed to read and modify files. After applying this technology, the security of file network transmission has been greatly improved. File authorizes users to transfer and use files easily and safely without memorizing complicated passwords, just using Jinshan Pass. Simply put, it is the management of reading, writing and modifying files through pass authorization rather than password authorization.
