Document Collaboration Real Time

Document Collaboration Real Time

 Hi there,

I want to edit a Word document in real time with another colleague. Meaning when I change anything in Zoho, he should see in his screen in real time and he should be able to edit and I should see in real time. Real time here meaning immediately.


I have uploaded the file from my laptop into Zoho and perform the following:

  1. click on share
  2. enter the email add of my colleague
  3. my colleague opens his mail and clicks on the link.(He has already registered as a use in Zoho)
  4. my colleague seems to only have the option of "Download" which opens up in MS Word instead of Zoho. If this is the case, how to I collaborate online in real time ?
  5. I tried copy and paste into Zoho Writer and then initiate the share steps as above
  6. when my colleague opens the mail and clicks the link, he is brought to Zoho Writer
  7. when i change anything in my Zoho Writer, he does not see the changes in real time.in fact he does not see the changes happening at all. do i need to click on save everytime i make changes in order for him to see the changes ?
  8. another question is when i upload or even copy and paste in Zoho Docs or Zoho Writer, the alignment is not the same as MS Word. Why is this so ?


Appreciate help.
