The trouble, for many university students in Oman, rarely starts with the ideas. It often starts from mid-sentence. Switch from Arabic to English inside the same document, and the formatting comes apart — margins drift, text runs the wrong direction. It’s a micro problem, but a constant one, and that’s why a number of Omani students choose to download WPS Office.

For some, it was their first trip to China. For others, it was something closer to a homecoming: they had used WPS Office for years and finally got to see the company behind it.
