Hi There, Does anyone know how to import addresses from the ZOHO CRM or ZOHO Contact Manager into a field within a ZOHO writer letter? Ive created a letter with the company address and client address but i'm wanting to link the letter to a client contact and in-turn update the address in my letter. Thank you RebeccaWriter iOS app crashes
Hi folks, I’ve just updated the Writer iOS app (V5.6), which had no issues at all before the update. The new icon is nice, but the app became totally unusable. The app starts, but when I try to open a document, it crashes immediately. That’s it. I’ve reinstalled, but it didn’t help. Anyone else experiencing this bug?Zoho CRM - Mail Merge Issues
Hi Support, I am having several problems when attempting to create a merge document in Zoho Writer for use in Zoho CRM. Situation: I have created a multiple page merge document in Writer. This contain a header with images as well as tables. The format is fine before I merge. Problem: 1. When I merge the document I lose the image in the header and the alignment of header text is corrupted. I also lose tick box images in the body of the document. 2. When I convert the merged doc to PDF or MS Word,Hide dynamic "Saving" and "Last Edited" text from the top of documents
I really like Writer except for one thing. As I'm editing documents, it shows me this dynamic text at the top. As I type, it says "Saving..." and after I'm done typing, it says "Last edited [add number of minutes or hours or whatever ago]." It's very distracting to have that text constantly changing/updating while I'm trying to focus on my writing! Unfortunately, I don't see a way to hide this text so I don't have to see it... and be distracted by it. Is there a way to hide it? Please PLEASE sayCorrection orthographe
Bonjour à tous, lorsque j'active la correction en Français, le verbe être est systématiquement souligné en rouge ??? Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà eu ce problème. C'est embêtant car cela m'oblige à la désactiver. MerciUn séjour sans failleI can't open one of my document
Hi, since last Saturday i can't seem to load one of my document in zoho writer. At first i thought server or my net was down. So i waited until sunday. Still can't access. All i get is a white blank sheet where my doc has more than 50k words in it. So i try to access it from zoho writer apps on my phone. When i try to open it it says that i don't have the access for it when it is my personal document that i didn't share to anyone. I try again loading from my phone browser, still getting the sameSaving a Write or .doc file
Hello, I'm new to Zoho writer and have created my first document. i would like to save it to WorkDrive so my team can access it, but don't seem to be able to without downloading it and moving the file. Is this correct? Thanks ChelseaKeyboard shortcut for Document Navigation
Hi, Is it possible to have a keyboard shortcut to show/hide the document navigation pane? Best Regards JonTitle rows appearing above dynamic tables on multiple pages
Is there a way to display the top row of a dynamic table as the top row of every page the table ends up being on? If my table is longer than one page, the top row that describes each columns contents does not carry over to other pages that the table is on, making the page useless to me.Table messed up
Somehow through lagging I ended up with the table being "under the border" to the left side, so I can't access it in any way or select any tables there. Is there any way to go back in revisions on a draft or revert the table to normal size?Tip #25: Send unique attachments to all your recipients at once
Tom is an HR and he wants to bulk send onboarding letters to all the new employees, with each letter attached with the responsibilities unique to each employee's designation. Conventionally, since the attachment is unique to each employee, it would be manually added to the respective employee's letter. However, since Tom has to send out 200 letters, manually adding these attachments would be a strenuous and time-consuming process. Using Writer, you can easily attach unique files to multiple lettersAsk the Experts: A 5-hour live discussion on all things Writer

I would like to be able to convert some things automatically into characters which aren't normally on the keyboard. I guess I could do remapping stuff but that's extremely something I don't know how to do.When typing in Doc's, my key strokes seem to lag a bit.
It's almost like the olden days when you could out type your computers ability to put the characters on the screen. It only happens in docs, and I think it's docs I have cut and pasted to complete reports. It seems like there is something going on in the background. Ideas?Tip: #24 Create professional-looking reports and proposals using page borders and watermarks
Creating engaging documents don't just mean whipping up good content. It depends on the way your documents are presented as well. Using Writer you can easily add the appealing factor to your documents by using different border designs and watermarks of your choice. Here's how: Border designs 1. Go to More Options > Page Setup > Design > Page Borders and choose the design of your choice. 2. You can also choose the distance between the border and the text by going to Border Properties.

Hi, I've noticed a small display issue with the pop up format bar in Firefox... see attached screen shot. The comment and link buttons are under italics. Best Regards JonWriter + Merge Form Questions
Need help: What is the difference between setting up the form automation function via a Template and via Document? It seems that if I were to go via Zoho Forms, that I would need to have a template ready to go in Zoho Writer and then map the form outputs on the particular template. However, if I were to set up the form and then set up a zoho document, I could then have the form's outputs be mapped onto the particular document. I do not understand the consequences in choosing each approach. I feelCan't upload file to Zoho Docs using API
Hi I am using the free version of Zoho Docs and trying to upload a file into the root folder using PHP and the Docs API. My source code is as below: <?php $cipher = 'rsa_aes_128_sha'; $AUTHTOKEN=" .... "; $path=" ... "; $filename=" ... "; $url = "https://apidocs.zoho.com/files/v1/upload?authtoken=".$AUTHTOKEN."&scope=docsapi"; $fields = array( 'filename' => $filename, 'content' => file_get_contents($path."/".$filename) ); $ch = curl_init(); $query = http_build_query($fields);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
I need help in using an EDI interface with Zoho. Please contact me.On screen Keyboard disappears
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

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.
Welcome to the Ask the Experts series. This is a new initiative to provide a platform for our users and the product experts to exchange thoughts about the product, and interact with each other better. Hello, everyone!

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
Hi, I can not add my group as a colloborator ? I do not know how to do!!!Fillable Form using Zoho Writer
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 can't even click on the "Feedback" link in the menu, I'm simply putting in editable fields yet i can't modify them.Tip #17: Restore previous versions of a document in an instant
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 youNext Page
