Timestamp
Might it be possible to add a timestamp button? I use Zoho for journalling and would find this most helpful. If you could select how the timestamps would look that would be way cool as well. So, depending on the need you could have timestamps that look like any of the following: 08/09/2006 or 09/08/2006 for non-US users 08 August 2006 August 08, 2006 08 August 2006 08:45 For my needs, time in 24 hour notation works fine, but others might like it in am/pm form. At any rate, that feature would be most
Word to Zoho Writer
Some file distortions in converting word to zoho writer.
Condition editing
Hello, everyone. I've encountered a problem where Zoho writer doesn't process conditions properly while doing a mail merge. My actions I have checkbox "Light" checked in Zoho CRM Then I create a condition in Zoho writer that: if "Light" is True (checked) show{Symo light} if otherwise show{Symo} That's how it looks in the document And that's how it looks on merge preview: Remember, the checkbox "Light" is checked, therefore it is "True", and because it is "True" it should show "Symo Light" not "Symo".
Word Count
It would be helpful to have a word count button that works on highlighted/selected text. stevenar

How do I start page number counts starting from the second page? My document needs to have no number on page one and then it should start counting pages on page 2 (which will show as page #1 in the page 2 footer and so on).
Problem opening Writer
When I open Writer, I get a small window with a rolling donut that says "Loading." this goes on for ever. I have to close the browser and reopen the application, and maybe then it will open; maybe I'll just get the "Loading," message again. About 1/2 the time this happens. What's up? Can this be cut short, or better yet, eliminated?

Problem with copying text cards with images from Notebook to Writer
Hello, when i copy a text card with images from notebook to writer, they copy as "fit to width" instead of original size, so they get distorted and i need to manually correct them by selecting the image and going to "image->dimensions->original size". If it's one image it is not such a problem, but when there are numerous images (for example a web clip), it becomes impractical to do that for every image. Is there a way to automate this or make writer copy images in their original size instead as
Mail Merge function is broken

Code Snippets in Writer
Hi, I am new to Writer and hope to use Writer to document my Creator apps, since Creator does not seem to be able to accomplish that natively. I see in Writer that I can easily insert code into a document but once the code is inserted it seems that I can't move out of the code snippet to continue adding other relevant links or text to the bottom of the doc. In a perfect world I would like to be able to insert all the workflows associated with a Creator form into one document but that seems to not
Zoho CRM MailMerge bugs with SIgnature fields
Hi, When I insert signature fields into a mailmerge (initials and dropdown) it comes out into {{....}}. On the contrary, when I insert a signature fiels, it comes out right (i.e. stays as a signature field required). See screen capture of how it comes out one exported in PDF, Docx or Writer. I precise that the Initials are inside the Footer and that the dropdown is inside a Table (maybe it has somethong to do with that because when I add Initials inside the body of the page, it seems to works fine

Zoho Writer linux client on Chromebook Linux (Beta)
I tried to install the Linux client on my chromebook to see if it could be useful for working offline. In Crostini with Debian 10 The installation failed because of a missing library writer depends on gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0; however: Package gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0 is not installed.

Mail 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?

Zoho Writer Merge & Sign Issue
Hi, I am using the writer application and using it to merge data from a csv into a document template, and then send that for sign. My issue is that when I click 'Configure Sign Workflow' and the Merge And Sign popup comes up, I want to check off 'Remember these settings for future merges'. However, when I check this off, the next time I go to do a merge the settings are not remembered. Is this a glitch, or am I doing it wrong?

Creating dynamic / programatic documents from a Zoho Flow workflow
I would like to use Zoho Flow and Writer templates to create highly programmatic Writer documents. The desired process would be as follows: The user fills out a Zoho Survey or Zoho Form which is used as the trigger for a Zoho Flow. Zoho Flow then uses Deluge functions to create additional calculated fields of text (for example, if the user selected a specific set of options, then the field "Technical_Recommendation_01" would be set to a short paragraph of pre-defined text. If using Zoho Survey,

Alphabetical sorting needed in Docs
It is ridiculous that folder contents can not be sorted alphabetically in Zoho Docs on the Web. It is frustrating and time consuming to have to scroll down a jumbled list of files looking for the one you want, rather than going straight to it. The available options of sorting by Last Opened, Date Modified or Created Time do not help at all. I would imagine that alphabetical sorting is a basic requirement for most users.

Writer.. Broken?
Hello, Writer has been really good to me during the months I've used it, up until now. I usually launch the app by tapping the icon and I could immediately pick up where I left off. Now I'm greeted by a loading circle not reaching 100% and I only have the option to create a new account. By pressing that button it now switches to a login screen and I can access my account. However, it seems (only speculating ofc) to be stuck in cell-phone mode? everything looks scrambled. I can't access any of

Zia Word Repitition Count & Document Word Targets
Hi, Just a couple of quick ideas...... Would it be possible for Zia to count word repitition when he/she/it does the grammar checks? Ignoring stop words like and/it/or/is but giving counts for repeated words. Are you thinking about offering a document word target option at all? EG... set a target of 10000 words for a document and then show a small bar graph to show progress. Just ideas :) Many thanks for listening Rgds Jon
