Auto Save Interrupts Typing
Hello - I've noticed that when I'm typing in Writer and the document auto-saves while I'm typing, it interrupts the typing while the save is happening. I then have to retype/correct the word as Writer misses several key-presses during the auto save. Is there any way to prevent this from occurring? I'm using Firefox 3.6.10. Thanks!Integration of Docs and Writer
I am using Zoho Docs and Writer. Unfortunately, these two solutions seem not yet to be very good aligned / implemented and working with both applications is at least for me very confusing: If I upload Word (or other doc format) documents from my computer, they appear in Docs with exactly the same symbol as docs that have been created in Writer. However, they seem to act differently: They do not appear in the Writer "My Documents" list If you right click in Docs on a Word Doc, three additional menuZoho Docs running really slow
We are sharing a zoho doc and if I want to make changes to a cell I click on it and it hangs up and is so slow.Copy/Paste Problem in Safari and Paste Options Problem in Firefox on Mac
I am unable to paste anything in Zoho Writer using the keyboard shortcuts as instructed. I'm on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8 using Safari 5.0. After copying text from within the same zoho document or from any another source, nothing appears when i use Command-V to paste it. It is clearly copied because i can paste the copied text into any other app. Pasting does seem to work in Firefox (v 3.6.6). Yet it's doesn't seem to work as it's supposed to. The "Paste Options" menu appears but does not seemFont Size NOT able to change
All, I am having REAL difficulty in changing the font size in a writer doc. Frankly it is frustrating at best. At first the font popped into 24, then I was unable to change it at all. In a CRM forum, there was information about not trying to select all text and that did help somewhat as I then had to go paragraph by paragraph changing the font size back to 12pts... even then it was inconsistent as it often simply changed the paragraph, but not the spacing between paragraphs... then I needed toClipboard access denied
Hello everybody, today I am experiencing a weird problem: copy-paste function seems having serious problem since writer is no more allowed to access my clipboard. Yesterday everything went fine...what happened??? RegardsErratic Formatting and Editing Issues
First of all, I love Zoho and have been using Zoho Sheet primarily over the past year or two. I recently began using Zoho Writer more regularly and am having some issues that don't seem to be resolving themselves. I've tried reloading, signing out and signing in again, even using a different computer, and none of it seems to help. The problems are: Text from the end of the document will copy and overlay on the beginning of the document, remaining there even when I close the current document.this SUCKS
I have been typing a document.. i have saved many times, and I find now over an hour of notes are just not even there anymore... I just had them and did not even close the window of my typing.. I have been hitting save every minute.. even if the save did not get through at least the document should still be on my screen if I have not closed the window.. I am never using this again.My Docs Sheets are Sluggish and Slow
My docs sheets are sluggish and slow. I chatted with a rep, but it was not resolved. It's frustrating and wastes a lot of our time. This has never happened before now, and I see that other users are having the same problem. What's the resolution?paste words can't be process, and make the browser dead.
When i use ctrl+v to paste words to file in zoho writer. It keeps show me processing... and the browser dead, can't do any change, i tried IE8, Firefox, Google Chrome, same problem. When i use IE8, it shows some error about Writer_min_all.js line: 8 Code: 0 char: 238934 URI: http://js.zohostatic.com/writer/M201_55/http/js/writer_min_all.js Please check and help.Zoho Writer Does Not Load
My computer is running Windows 7 and i am using Google Chrome 8.0.552.224. Whenever i log on to Zoho Writer i get a green square that says, "loading..." and nothing else. i have tried clearing my cache and my javascript is enabled. i am not sure what else to do. all other Zoho applications work, just writer has the problem. Thanks in AdvanceCannot enable Track Changes in Zoho Projects Doc
From research, I figured that documents in Zoho Projects should have a 'Track Changes' option in the review menu. However I am unable to find this option in the review menu. See screenshot below. This applies to any new documents created in Zoho or uloaded to zoho from Ms word without track changes enabled. The option I have is to download the document, open in Ms Word, enable Track Changes in Ms word and re-upload the document. The track changes option is then enabled on the document, but I cannotZoho writer merge and send for sign
Hi, I have been using writer template to merge data when a form is submitted and send it to sign collection. It was working well until yesterday all of a sudden it stopped working. Zoho form to writer template merge is successful but it fails to sendMail Merge Dynamic Tables Sorting and Selection
Hello, Our issue is as follows: We have added in our mail merge template a dynamic table which pulls data from Zoho CRM Modules. However, when the mail merge output is populated, the order of the dynamic table rows is based on the creation date. This makes the dynamic table useless for us. We need to be able to sort these rows besides the creation date. 1: Is there a way to adjust the row order and control this through a filter? Or can we perhaps achieve this through a custom function in the meantime?Real-time collaboration frustrating
At the beginning of this week our staff switched from Google docs to Zoho writer. Thus far, however, the process of real-time collaboration has been more trouble than it is worth. We maintain a document that lists all of the stories that our journalists are working on in a given day, but our staff have found that it is difficult to access the document, words move around randomly for no apparent reason, sometimes it won't allow us to even write anything, and the "real-time" aspect of things isn'tNo links in exported PDF

Hi Is anyone else experiencing this problem? When we try to merge a document from a custom module, we get get this error "We ran into a problem while trying to initiate a Mail Merge." No explanation. Just try again later. Zoho Support has been unableZoho Writer page break in a merge repeating region always adds an unwanted blank page
Hi I'm merging a Zoho CRM record to a Zoho Writer document with a repeating region to display subform records on their own page within the document. When I try to insert a page break in a repeating region, the resulting merge always adds an unwanted blankRight-click menus of Writer and Firefox overlap
It is very inconvenient that whenever I highlight and right-click on text in Writer, both Writer's and my browser's (Firefox 2.0.0.11) right-click menus appear but are overlapping. Since Writer's right-click menu is always the one underneath, it requires a lot of highlighting, right-clicking, and scrolling-about until the feature that I would like to use finally becomes accessible. I would not like for either of them to be disabled because I use them both very much. Is there a way that I can togglecontent loss when editing during a discontinuation of shared document
Hi, We experienced loss of content when editing a document during a discontinuation of shared document. We saved the document. Exited it. Opened it again and saw the old version of the document, even though the document no longer were shared and not supposed to be accessible. One page document. Pure text. IE 7.0Loss of document content - it got not saved?
Hi! We are five people writing in a document. But the content don't seem to get properly saved. The issue get revealed when someone exit the document and later loads it again. During typing the "saving..." sign flashes time to time. We have clicked the saving button. When we later look in history trying to recover lost content the versions seem to be all equal with just minor variations. The document is less than ten pages pure text. No images, tables. We are using FF 3.0 and IE 7.0 om Win XP Pro.Curser and typing issues
For a few days now I have been unable to type any document. My curser does not go where I place it. Sometimes it goes above where I want it to go and other times it goes below. If I press return to start a new line, letters from the current line get deleted. It's very frustrating! I cannot select a word to check the spelling. I cannot insert the curser between the letters of a word to correct any mistakes."Table operations >> Merge cells" does not function
Hello, I try to merge cells in table within Zoho writer. I mark the cells which I want to merge then right click "Table operations >> Merge cells" and nothing happens. Every time when I right click the marked cells become unmarked. How does it work? I appreciate your help.Any Zoho response to images not working properly in Firefox?
Images in Zoho writer continue not to work correctly in any version of Firefox 3+ thru Firefox 6.0. They often do not align correctly around text (left or right) and if they do, they can NOT be moved by dragging. I've tried this on several computers with various versions of Firefox. I have posted this problem before but no response from Zoho. Please help with this.Lost Document
Hi, I was working on a document last week. I had it opened for a few hours and saved it. Today I have logged in and the file is missing. Please can you tell me if there is a way to retrieve this file? I desperately need it and if it has been removed I will not be using Zoho again. Thanks, ShaniEmila no longer works
I am a new user just finding my way around. I sent a couple of emails a few days ago but now when I try to log in to Zoho Mail there is just a blank page. Zoho Writer, the only othe App I have used, still works fine. Ronhistory link is missing!
I can't find the history link or the revert/diff stuff that writer is supposed to have. I have looked all over all the controls on the toolbar. Can someone post a screen grab of where it is supposed to be? It is not working for me and I need to revert a document.Unmapped fields in a Zoho Writer Merged document with Fillable Fields
Hi! My business has some document complexity. I have figured out how to set up a document to merge fields from Zoho Forms, and added fillable fields. I have an error of 3 Unmapped Fields. I see the codes for the fields, which are a sequence of numbersTraducción.
Podrían traducir todos los menús a español y no sólo algunos de ellos. Muchas opciones (por ejemplo todas las del propio Zoho Writer aparecen en inglés.Zoho Docs Mobile App no longer functions with Camera
Since upgrading to iOS 11, whenever I try to add a photo of a document via Zoho Docs mobile app, the Camera link sends me to Photos and not the Camera. I checked to ensure that the app still had access to the camera in settings -- it does. I also tried rebooting the phone, quitting Zoho Docs via double Home key and swipe, and the problem still exists. I thought this was me just not touching the menu in the correct spot (Photos option is located just below Camera on the + menu) but the Camera functionproblem opening docs using Chrome browser
I've recently switched to Chrome after Firefox updates made life too difficult, and now with the changes in your Writer UX for opening documents I can't see or open most of my Zoho docs. At first the display was buggy (different options overlaid) but at least I could get to my most recent 4 docs. I tried to open an older doc today and am stymied - when I search nothing seems to happen and I can't expand My Documents, the arrow points down but no list appears. Help please! This is a major problem,Strange Cut And Paste Bug
Hello, Let me not start by complaining. Zoho is a wonderful service and you people all seem to care about making it work well. I am only on here a few days and am almost ready to do all my online work and file storage here. My specs: OSX 10.5.8 Safari 4.0.4 Now, the bug. I can work around it, but it would be more convenient to figure it out. To cut text and paste: Command X, C and V work fine in every other online context. (Including this email! I just tried it.) But in Writer = = = = = = = = = =No way to recover documents from the trash
I don't see any way to recover documents moved to the trash. In the old writer, I used to be able to easily recover trashed documents and even go in the trash and permanently delete them. In the new writer, I see no such ability. Looks like once you move it to the trash, it's gone. If I choose "open" and click on "folders" there is no trash folder. There is no link to a trash folder anywhere. The FAQs on the writer is out of date too! Those menu options don't even apply anymore. Is something wrongText formatting -- character spacing
Zoho Writer does offer text spacing adjustment (unlike Google Docs) BUT it is too coarse. Increments of 1pt are too much. To avoid a turn in a line with a widow, needs a reduction of say 0.1pt or 0.2pt and this does the job and hardly shows. To reduce spacing in a text-size line by 1pt results in... a mash. Please include 0.1pt increments in a future update (as offered by MS Word).User message on the Writer doesnt go away
I am developing a prototype for incorporating zoho writer into my application and I have the below issue. When I open the document in collaborative mode, the document is loaded and the message says Document ready for collaborative use. But for few users I see the message "Connecting to the server. Please wait..." and it just stays there. Even though the document is loaded fully and the newly typed text is shared with other users, the message doesnt go away. Please respond me if this is an issue withCan't Remove Formatting
I'm the owner of a document that was uploaded into Zoho from MS Word. Two lines in a list appear underlined. The underline icon appears depressed when I highlight it, and the lines are in fact underlined. The problem is that I can't remove the underline formatting. The button simply doesn't work. Any ideas?Top Margin
I have created a document as a 'home letter head' template. I want the address along the top of the letter to be (relatively)close to the top edge of the sheet - as I can in MS Word. The top margin in Zoho is set to 0% and 'preview' shows the layout to be perfect. But, when I select the PDF for printing, the top margin is too great. How do I rectify this? patrick.friedmaNext Page
