New in Writer: Combine an MS Word document with your Writer document
We understand that some people you work with every day won't be on Writer. Often, you're forced to export your Writer doc as an MS Word file and pass it around as an email attachment. Your collaborator then takes a look, makes changes, and sends a revised document back to you. Your original document and the one your collaborator revised then exist as two different files, making it difficult for you to track what's changed and maintain a master file. The new Combine Revisions feature in Writer solves

Lost Content and Format/Lost File/Error when Saving Files

Zoho Docs vs CRM Mail Merge Templates
Hey there! I see 4 solutions, none of which have a complete process flow. Am I missing something? 1. Zoho Writer (standalone) where you can send to Zoho Sign for signature. Unfortunately, I don't see where you can do a mail merge with Zoho CRM. 2. Zoho CRM where you can do a mail merge, but there is no send for signature in that version. 3. Zoho CRM + Zoho Sign integration, but this solution doesn't use Zoho Writer. Also to note, this third solution makes the user manually add signature blocks to
Docs preview doesn't match the current file revision.

Better font handling and adding font support for different languages

Docs sync and population features timing out
Hi, got a bit of a problem where i tried uploading a document from MS word (2016 for Mac), and it does two things: 1) doesn't bring all the info across (i.e. 5 pages instead of 20) single document 2) the format is going all stupid and crossing over note that this occurs even when i change the document over to ZDocs internal.

Dropbox subfolder sync
Dear Support, I would like to know when the dropbox subfolder sync is coming to the zoho projects?

This is the central function why we chose to use zoho as our project management tool and would like to have it functioning
