Understanding DOC and WLS file formats

DOC is a widely used word processing file format developed by Microsoft for its Word application. It stores formatted text, images, tables, and other document elements. WLS is the spreadsheet file format used by Kingsoft WPS Spreadsheets, part of the WPS Office suite. WLS files contain data organized in rows and columns, formulas, charts, and formatting similar to Microsoft Excel's XLS format.

Why convert DOC to WLS?

Converting a DOC file to WLS is useful when you need to transfer tabular data or lists from a Word document into a spreadsheet for further analysis, calculation, or data manipulation in WPS Spreadsheets.

How to convert DOC to WLS

There is no direct one-click converter for DOC to WLS, as these formats serve different purposes. However, you can follow these steps to achieve the conversion:

  1. Open your DOC file in Microsoft Word or WPS Writer.
  2. Identify and select the table or data you want to convert.
  3. Copy the selected content (Edit → Copy or Ctrl+C).
  4. Open WPS Spreadsheets.
  5. Paste the content into a new spreadsheet (Edit → Paste or Ctrl+V).
  6. Adjust formatting as needed to ensure data is correctly arranged in cells.
  7. Save the file as WLS (File → Save As and choose WLS as the format).

Best software for DOC to WLS conversion

The most reliable software for this process is WPS Office, which includes both WPS Writer and WPS Spreadsheets. This suite ensures compatibility with both DOC and WLS formats and provides seamless copy-paste functionality between word processing and spreadsheet modules.

Alternative methods

  • Export tables from DOC as CSV (File → Save As → CSV in Word), then import the CSV into WPS Spreadsheets and save as WLS.
  • Use online converters for DOC to XLS, then open the XLS in WPS Spreadsheets and save as WLS.

Summary

While there is no direct DOC to WLS converter, using WPS Office to copy data from DOC to WLS is the most effective method. For large or complex tables, exporting as CSV and importing into WPS Spreadsheets is also recommended.
