Hi!

I tested the version 11.1.0.9505 and you can install using RPM package.
First enable the universe repository and install alien.

sudo apt install alien
sudo alien wps-office-11.1.0.9505.XA-1.x86_64.rpm

The package wps-office-11.1.0.9505.XA-1.x86_64.deb will be builded and you can install with dpkg or APT.

sudo apt install ./wps-office-11.1.0.9505.XA-1.x86_64.deb

Installing this way you can run without superuser.

UPDATE:
Now this just work adding parameters:

sudo alien -dc --fixperms wps-office.rpm
