How 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
German 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.

How 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."

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

Change 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.
