WPS Office, a versatile productivity suite, includes a robust word processor that allows users to create and edit documents with ease.

Adjusting the width and height of these tables is crucial for ensuring that the content fits properly and the layout is visually appealing. In this guide, we will explore how to adjust the width and height of tables in WPS Office.
