LibreOffice interface seems dull? MS Word documents open crookedly? A product of Chinese developers is in a hurry to help - WPS Office (Kingsoft Office), a clone of MS Office with maximum compatibility with the latter.

The package includes a word processor WPS Writer, WPS Presentation presentation software and spreadsheet editor WPS Spreadsheets. WPS Office is developed for the following platforms: Linux, Windows, Android and iOS. There are both free and paid versions for Windows.

There is no official support for the Russian language in WPS Office for PC yet, the translation of the version for Linux is carried out by the efforts of the community (http://wps-community.org). Versions for mobile platforms have been translated into many languages, including Russian.

WPS Office supports formats MS Office 2007/2010/2013, but with Open Document Format, unfortunately, not friendly. There is a built-in export documents in PDF and several interface options - both classic and identical to MS Office 2013.

Installation and setup

Attached are detailed installation and configuration instructions. WPS Office For example Linux Mint 17 Qiana(based on ubuntu).

1. Download the WPS Office distribution from the community site and install it.

2. Install ttf fonts:

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

3. Most likely, these fonts will not be enough for work. WPS Office itself swears at startup for missing fonts:

You can download the missing fonts here (http://allshrift.ru) or here (http://www.fontpalace.com).

4. Add additional fonts here:

/usr/share/fonts/microsoft-non-dpkg

5. Update the cache fontconfig:

sudo fc-cache -fv

6. Run WPS Writer, select language ( Writer -> Tools -> Switch Language). Or press the quick button on the panel on the right.

We are waiting for the translations to load.

7. Now it would be nice to enable Russian spelling. Download the Russian dictionary from here (http://wps-community.org/download/dicts/ru_RU.zip). The contents of the archive are placed in /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/dicts. In Writer, go to the tab Review, Spell Check -> Set Language. Choose the one you need:

8. Here we could be glad, but when we start Writer persistently offers us a bunch of wonderful online templates:

It looks especially enchanting with a poor connection:

To disable annoying templates, you either need to open an empty document template once, which is here: /home/%username%/.kingsoft/office6/templates/wps, or change the settings in the file /home/%username%/.config/Kingsoft/Office.conf:

common\wpshomeoptions\StartWithHome=0 common\wpshomeoptions\StartWithBlank=1

Now, on startup, an empty document opens:

You can switch the interface from the menu "Service" or by the icon in the upper right corner:

How to Russify the interface and change the theme

By default, WPS Office applications start in English. You can change the interface language to Russian using the standard program tools. You can also change the interface theme. How to do this is shown in this video:

More recently, I came across information about the office suite of Chinese developers - WPS Office. Earlier this package was called Kingsoft Office. After installation, I saw a clone of a "soft" product. Chinese programmers did a great job.

Knowledgeable users on the forums, in the social. networks and blogs write that compatibility with ms office 2010 and other versions is just great. It is enough just to install the necessary fonts and the result will be excellent. There is support for PPT, DOC, DOCX, XLS XLSX formats, and it can also save documents in PDF format.

From the information on the WPS Office website:

“Compatible with Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Mint, Knoppix and more
Supports 32-bit and 64-bit systems
Full compatibility with Microsoft Office
Spell checker in 10 languages
Supported by our open source community"

Includes Writer text editor, Spreadsheets spreadsheet editor and presentation creation in Presentation.
