- Scenario
- Navigating document subchapters using Roman numerals on a mobile device.
- Observed behavior
- The Android app lacks the native Roman numeral page navigation feature present in the desktop version, requiring workarounds to navigate subchapters.
Ensure your WPS Office app on Android is updated to the latest version to access the most recent layout and navigation features.
Use Outline and Thumbnail Navigation on Android

Launch the WPS Office app on your Android device and open the document you wish to read.
Tap the 'Tools' icon at the bottom of the screen, then navigate to the 'View' tab.
Tap on 'Outline' to view and jump between chapters by their titles, or select 'Thumbnails' to visually scroll through the document pages.
