Zoho Writer

 

I'm using Zoho Writer for the first time to explore some of the features. I'm excited by the concept of sharing documents. I can already see some applications. For instance, I have some Board members who have trouble opening word attachments. I'm hoping that it might be easier for them to just go to a web address instead. I'll  have to do some experiementing... OK, my first experiment was the spell checker. It highlight the misspelled word above (experiementing), but I couldn't see that it gave me any suggestions to change it to. Then I tried to use the help button but didn't find a search screen to find out about spell check.

 

Wow--that was exciting, the whole screen went to black when I clicked on the emoticon button! Let me try that again... Yup, happened again, I guess that's what it's supposed to do.

 

Now let's see if I can import a picture...

 

 

OK, it was easy to find it on my desktop. It came in pretty big, but I was able to resize with the handles, so here's our puppy, Bear, enjoying the Christmas wrapping paper. (Yes, I know NOW, that Labs are puppies for 2 years, too bad someone didn't tell me that 6 months ago!)

 

 

 

So, I added a comment, just to try it out. Turns out you have to click on the little icon in the lower right hand corner to actually read what it says. Could be a good tool when editing a shared document.

 

I can see that there are a lot of sophisticated style type tools that I don't usually bother with in Word, but it's nice to know they're there if I ever need them.

 

I looked at it in preview, and then re-edited to add a sentence. Also added tags, and saved it.

 

Now to the next adventure, let's see if I can publish this to my blog.
