Office users and students often need to refine paragraphs for clarity, length limits, or formal tone. Manually rewriting sentences to be shorter can be time-consuming and may unintentionally change the meaning. A built-in tool to shorten paragraph text helps reduce redundancy and improve readability without rewriting from scratch.

Step 1: Prepare Your Text

Open your document in WPS and select the paragraph you want to shorten.

Why WPS?

Unlike external rewriting tools that require copying content out of context, WPS allows users to shorten paragraph content directly within the document through Smart Edit. The condensed text can be reviewed and inserted in place, preserving document structure and writing intent.
