Tip #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 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
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 there, everyone! :) Thanks to everyone who posted their questions during our last month's session on customizing options. For this month's session, let's discuss one of Writer's key capabilities—document collaboration. Do let us know if you have queries, doubts or suggestions regarding any ofTip #15: Align your text accurately by setting your own tab stops
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
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. Good day, everyone! :) We had quite a detailed discussion during our first Ask the Experts session last month. Thanks to everyone who took part in it. For this month's session, let's talk about how you can make use of the different customization options in Writer and tailor it the way you work. If youTip: #11 Collaboratively fill documents with your colleagues and clients
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. Say you're entering into a new deal with a few new partners.Tip #09: Let your clients take out personalized copies of a document by filling in a form.
Writer is integrated with Zoho Forms to let your clients collect their personalized copies on the go. All they have to do is fill out a form. In this post we'll talk in detail about how Writer can help you automate everyday paperwork and save time. Let's consider the below scenario. It's 9:30 A.M on Monday and three of your employees have requested for their Bonafide Certificates. Traditionally, delivering personalized documents for your employees would first require you to get the necessaryGoogle Drive by Folder
When I connect to my Google Drive Zoho defaults to listing all the files! That's ridiculous. Everybody sorts by Folders. How do I make navigate by Folders on my Google Drive by default? ThanksTip #08: Control how collaborators view and edit your documents in Writer.
Co-authoring tools in Writer are designed to help you take ownership of your work, even when it goes through collaborators for multiple levels of review. As the owner of the document, you can control everything from viewing, editing to locking your work or even a part of it from collaborators. Here are the different ways Writer can help you stay in control of your collaborative process. 1. Lock content Say you've finalized just one part of your document, but want to share the document with usersTip #07: Five best defaults in Writer you can change to complement the way you work
Find yourself adjusting settings to the way you like every time you create a new document? Try tweaking the default settings instead. From font styles to auto correct options and more, here are the five best defaults settings you can control. 1. Default font style Use your favorite typography across all your documents. You can customize a font style by adding a color, adjusting its size and more, and then set it as default. To do this, go to More Options > Format > Font. Choose a font styleHeader or Background Graphic for Letterhead
Hi there, Is there a way where we can put our letterhead graphic in the background of a text document in Writer? Or I can split the image up and put the top part in the header and the bottom in the footer. The reason is so that I can save out the end result as a PDF and email, fax etc... Thank you, KyleTip #06: Make the best use of Zia in Writer
About to share your work with your team? Looking to get a second opinion quickly before that? Let Zia do it. Zia, Zoho's AI-powered intelligent assistant is now part of Writer. She's trained to check and polish your work. She doesn't just read, she understands. So apart from grammar and spelling checks, she'll let you know when you've used a wrong adjective, or have missed out words based on the context of your piece. Every time you write, Zia makes a scorecard after carefully assessing yourUse template option now missing
The option to "use this template" is missing now. Clicking "File" then "new from template" is also not working. I currently cannot find a way to create a new document from a template in Writer.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, ShaniTip #05: Sending documents for sign collection using Writer
Entering into a business contract with multiple clients? Looking to collect all their signatures? Writer can help optimize your processes, and save time. Writer is integrated with Zoho Sign to let you go from creating contract templates to sending them out for signature collection and tracking the entire process, all from a single platform. Here's how you can create a signature collection workflow in Writer: 1. Prepare your template document Start by creating your contract and inserting necessaryCan't Use My Own Templates to Create New Documents
Hey there, I read this entire article https://www.zoho.com/writer/help/document-templates.html I saved a document as a template. I go to "Templates" in Writer and click on my template. It doesn't create a new editable document — it just opens a view-only version of my template (can't edit it at all). The other pre-loaded templates are working great (see below screenshot), it's just the ones that I create myself.Tip #04: Signing documents yourself using Writer
Time to give your paperwork some digital transformation. Writer is now integrated with Zoho Sign to let you sign as well as collect signatures securely from wherever you are. In this post, we'll talk in detail about how you can easily add your wet-ink signatures to documents. Say you received an NDA from your partner and it needs your signature as soon as possible. Traditionally, you would take a print out, sign the document, scan and mail it back to your partner—making it a strenuous and time-consumingI'm pissed as fuck
What the hell Zoho! Always the same goddam problem. It takes time because the simplest things just don't fucking work. Today it just took me 3 hours to complete and send a 1page privacy letter to a client. And you know what 99% of the document was already written before it ever got into zoho. So it took me 3 FUCKING HOURS TO FORMAT SIGNATURE LINES ON ZOHO WRITER. AND THE REASON I'M EVEN MORE PISSED IS BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 DAYS JUST FORMATTING ALONE TOOK HOURS. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHTPossible to change table cell background color?
Hello, Is there a way to change the cell background color in a table? I see that it is possible to change the paragraph background color but not the color of the entire cell. Someone asked this question a number of years ago but it wasn't answered. I assume that means it's not possible, but wanted to ask. If not possible, any chance you're working on it becoming possible? Thank you!Help. Save button didn't save?
I was working on a document and hit save several times throughout my work. I can only seem to pull up the old, unaltered document. I'm not seeing where to open the file that contains the altered document. I've tried every button. The formatting doesn't make a lot of sense. Can someone please help me find where my document is store, if stored it is? I really need to find this. Thanks for the help in advance.Next Page
