Tip #23: Keep word choices and formal writing in check
Have you ever felt like maybe your content could've been written better, but you're not sure how to improve it? Whether you're working on a report or drafting a contract, writing them with brevity would help your readers comprehend it easily. Our writing assistant Zia, is trained to offer better word choices and keep your formal writing in check. Here's how: Better Word Choices Zia can identify words that are considered complex, biased and obsolete in your writing and comes up with more simpleEDI Interface

Using a Samsung SM-J326AZ running Android 7.0, and Writer 4.3.2, I've found a problem when I'm switching back forth between Writer and other applications. When I open Writer to create a new document the on screen keyboard pops up as it should. Next, I switch to Firefox to consult my source document for my new document. Next, I switch back to Writer and my on screen keyboard does not appear. I can save the document and re-open it and the keyboard reappears. This is a bad work around for this issue.Adobe Esign integration - widget?
If I want to create a template for a form, with Adobe Esign capabilities, it seems geared to email to a recipient. Can I publish a widget that allows any visitor to Esign the document? Or can I send the document to several parties at once for them all to sign separate? Like for several candidates for a job opening?Tip #22: Present your content as rows and columns for better readability
If you're going to prepare a ten page report about the quarterly sales, your readers would probably lose interest half-way through. If the same content is presented in the form of rows and columns, you can catch your reader's attention better and give them a more clear picture of what you're trying to convey. Using Tables and Column Options in Writer, you can easily bifurcate your content into rows and columns. Here's how you can use Tables to create rows and columns. To create a row, followOpen second window
Writer is often my word processor of preference, more agile than Word, able to read docs on my iPhone unlike Apple Pages, better formatting and interface than Google Docs etc. And the collaboration functionality is best of class. But one limiting drawback is... I often need to edit two docs, or two versions, side by side, and it appears that I can't do this in Writer. There does not appear to be a way to open a second window without losing the window that is open. Most other writing applicationsOffline mode not working with Firefox
Hi, Just noticed that offline mode in Writer is not working with Firefox.... using latest version on Win 10. Tested on 2 x computers with same results. Setting up offline seems to work OK. Close https://writer.zoho.com/documents Disconnect Wifi Go to https://writer.zoho.com/documents gives server not found error.

Ideas have no bounds and can be communicated through any language. That's why we've been hard at work to refine the way Zia gives spelling suggestions in different dialects. Today we're happy to announce that we've improved the dictionaries for English (US), English (UK) and 9 other languages. Zia can now also detect these languages and automatically enable the right proofing tool as you type. 1. English (US) 2. English (UK) 3. English (CA) 4. English (AU) 5. English (ZA) 6. Français 7. DeutschHow to create a full-bleed document template
I've been going out of my mind trying to get our letterhead design converted to a zdoc template for our users. The letterhead, and other docs like reports covers, etc., are a full-bleed design, meaning the design elements run through the margins and right up to the edge of the page. In some cases the elements show up in the final PDFs, in some cases they dissappear. In all cases its maddening trying to fine tune the position of these design elements in the Writer interface. I need help please!Tip#21: Arrange and style images in documents with ease
We use compelling images to supplement our content. Some use images in the background, some use it to convey numerical data and others use it to add some visual flair to their documents. In this week's tip, let's take a look at how Image Options in Writer lets you arrange, style and annotate images—giving you more control over where and how you want images to be presented in a document. To arrange an image follow the below steps: 1. Click the required image to be edited and from the Image Options panelGerman spell check a bit sketchy
Lots of false positives and it almost always marks correctly spelled words as incorrect for a second then changes it. This is especially true when importing or copy-pasting content into a document. Zoho's multilingual spell checking is still much better than Google Docs or LibreOffice, both of which are just plain unusable.Smart quotes and placing comma inside them (which is the convention in the United States always and UK sometimes)
Hello, currently putting a comma inside smart quotes makes it think you're starting a new one, so you get: “Since you’ve been gone,“ instead of “Since you’ve been gone,” The American convention is to always place commas inside quotes rather than outside, and in the UK you can do either based on the construction of the sentence. So this should be fixed.Ask the Experts: A 5-hour live discussion on custom workflows, integrations and APIs.

Do let us know if you have queries, doubtsTip #19: Review images in documents using Writer's markup tools
Say you're working on a new branding idea. You quickly create a document scribbling down your ideas, drafting some copies and also adding multiple design mocks that you'd want your team to take a look at. While your collaborators post their thoughts about the ad copies by quickly adding a comment on it, discussing on those design mocks can get tricky at times. On this week's tip, let's take a look at some tools in Writer that lets you easily navigate through all the images in a document asProblem to write a text in a group

Hello, I have made a fillable form using Zoho Writer. When I publish it and copy the link to send to clients, it sends a previous made "form" I made in "Forms". I don't want to use the "form"--but the fillable form I spent hours making in Writer. What am I missing? SharynTip #18: Stay on top of comments and changes made by collaborators
You've prepared and shared a document with your collaborators for their review. Your collaborators have reviewed the document and asked for your input, but since you weren't being notified of the changes, you only realize the document was reviewed when you open it three weeks later. Oops! Writer lets you enable notifications for your collaborators' activities in a document. This will send you email notifications whenever comments or changes are made by someone in a particular document. Here'sZOHO Writer with email templates
Maybe I am missing something, but I create a email template and want it to pull the signature from the user that is sending the email. I had the users set up their signature in Personal settings. I try to add the signature in Zohowriter but it keeps want to use ZOHO sign.This program is a joke

You just finished drafting a business proposal after including the changes suggested by your client. But as you're about to finalize it, your client comes back saying that the changes they said were incorrect, and that you should be proceeding with the previous draft. How would you now restore your previous draft? Writer lets you restore previous versions of a document in a jiffy. Whenever you make changes to a document, Writer automatically creates and stores a separate version of it—so incase youTip: #16 Publish your articles directly from Writer to your WordPress or Blogger accounts!
If you're a frequent blogger or just beginning to start writing one, you'd know the difficulty of using two different platforms—writing on your editor of choice to draft the article, and then copy/pasting it to your blog's editor to finally post it. Well, you can forget about that hassle because Writer lets you draft, collaboratively review and post your article to either WordPress or Blogger directly. It's your all-in-one tool for anything and everything blogging! Posting to WordPress Here'sAsk the Experts: A 5-hour live discussion on co-authoring and reviewing

Ever been in a situation when you almost had a panic attack after seeing how your document content has been completely misaligned while on printing? I think we all have. That's why in today's tip, I'm going to talk about how you can use your own Tab Stops in Writer to ensure that text in documents always stay in their place—no matter if you're printing it or converting it to a PDF file. Here's how you can use Tab Stops to align your texts accurately: 1. Open the Writer document. 2. Select the textHow do I delete documents from Zoho Writer !
Plain and simple, How do I delete documents or items from Zoho writer ?PDF quality
I use Writer for a particular project in which I create booklets following export to PDF. I have had some issues with the quality -- particularly typographic quality – of the exported PDF from Writer. The letter spacing and font characteristics should match the original exactly. So, using 11pt Roboto font, I should see output indistinguishable from the original Writer doc. Recently I have seen poor letterspacing. I had to overcome this by exporting to Word, and creating the PDF from that.Not able to save the docx file in server
Hello, I am using zoho office integrator in my web application to save the file back to server. But every time I tried to save file its showing error like this "There was a problem saving the content. Please export a local copy and try again later." I am referring this php code for saving the file: <?php $filepath = 'http://resumereview.in/helloWorld.docx'; $tmp_filename = $_FILES['content']['tmp_name']; $upload_status = move_uploaded_file($tmp_filename, $filepath); ?>Tip: #13 Take better control of your paragraphs and phrases.
Have you ever had your collaborator or editor jumble up your paragraph alignment after you move onto the next page or sentence? This would mean that even after you finish drafting your work, you'd have to spend time manually aligning and adjusting your content again. Imagine messing up all your work because of simple alignment issues. Frustrating, isn't it? From keeping lines from breaking across pages to controlling orphan phrases, Line and Page Break options in Writer let you align your paragraphsBlank Spaces on Document when a question is not answered
Good afternoon, I am creating a document right now that is based on questions that were answered in a form. Right now if a question is not answered, there is still a blank space where that question would be on the PDF document. I will include a screenshot below to show you what I am seeing. I would like to remove the blank space when a question is not answered. Thank you.Zoho Writer frequently quits on opening
Zoho Writer is becoming a worthy alternative to Word, Google Docs and Apple Pages, offering particularly good collabortation, navigation within a document and a well-designed, clear interface. However, my experience is that Writer 1.6 has some stability issues. I frequently experience quits on opening a document. It appears more stable when actually writing. I have never experienced any data loss. But the 'quits' are annoying! Something to work on.Trying to merge Creator form, but Report not showing
When I go into Merge with Zoho Creator, then choose my application, it says 'no reports available'. The report was showing last Thursday, before I updated the application, but it's gone now. Any ideas?Transitioning from MS Word to Writer: A complete walkthrough
Hello everyone! We understand moving to a new word processing tool can be difficult, especially if it means switching from a legacy software like MS Word. That's why we've organized an exclusive webinar where we talk you through ways to make your switch from MS Word to Writer as easy as possible. In this webinar, you'll learn: - Why Writer is a simple yet powerful alternative to MS Word. - How to locate your favorite MS Word features and functions in Writer. - How to migrate your Word documentsTip: #12 Publish fillable documents, and let your colleagues or clients take out personalized copies on the go.
Last week we spoke in detail about how you can use Fillable Fields to collaboratively fill documents with your colleagues or clients. This week we're going to talk about how the same fillable document template can be published so that others can fill them up and take-out personalized copies of it without affecting the master document. Consider the following scenario: You're an HR and you have interviews lined up for new hires over the next few weeks. You're supposed to send each candidate a formChange Authorship/Delete Personal Information
I'd like to know if there is a feature to change the authorship of a zoho document, or when you save it in a different format like docx (not just change who the owner of the document is). I'd also like to know if there is a way to delete the personal information that may be attached to a document. Would appreciate being able to have documents that are anonymous/ don't contain my personal user information.Writer fonts
I think it would help Writer be accepted as a competitor to Word, Apple Pages etc, if it included a more 'standard' selection of fonts e.g. Times New Roman, Helvetica, Arial, Avenir etc. Many organisations have a house style for their documents and communications. To use one of the Google fonts offered changes that house style. I think Writer would look more credible as a competitor if it offered at least a few of the well known 'standards' in its font menu.Zoho writer - problem to send e-mail
I have received this alert, and i couldn´t sent my 719 e-mails with direct mail.How to create outline formatting
I understand that Zoho Writer does not support outline formatting. Is there a suitable workaround that does not use the standard header formats? When ever I use the header formats for outlines, I can't use the headers for standard text headers without the outline numbering.Ask the Experts: A 5-hour live discussion on customizing Writer

Last week we talked about how Fillable Fields can help you create contracts and proposal templates you can repurpose across your processes. This week, we'll talk in detail about how to collaboratively fill those templates with your clients and team. Say you've entered into a contract with multiple clients but the final contract amount is still under negotiation. Using fillable fields, partners can quote their contract fee directly in the template document without affecting other areas of the document. YouTip #10: Create contract and proposal templates you can repurpose every day
Letters, proposals, legal documents—you work with so many of them for so many different occasions everyday. Now you can forget about individually crafting documents for every process, and save time by doing it just once. Let's dive deeper. The Fillable Fields feature in Writer lets you insert editable fields to your documents and save them as templates. This way you can use the same template to create multiple contracts or proposals.
