Do one command in a Terminal at a time:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*
rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/libreoffice*
sudo rm -rf /etc/skel/.local/share/applications/libreoffice*
wget https://wdl1.pcfg.cache.wpscdn.com/wpsdl/wpsoffice/download/linux/10702/wps-office_11.1.0.10702.XA_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wps-office_11.1.0.10702.XA_amd64.deb

I'd only like to suggest that instead of running sudo dpkg -i to run

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install ./wps-office_11.1.0.10702.XA_amd64.deb since apt will take care of downloading and installing any missing dependencies, whereas dpkg will not.
