All,
I am having REAL difficulty in changing the font size in a writer doc. Frankly it is frustrating at best. At first the font popped into 24, then I was unable to change it at all. In a CRM forum, there was information about not trying to select all text and that did help somewhat as I then had to go paragraph by paragraph changing the font size back to 12pts... even then it was inconsistent as it often simply changed the paragraph, but not the spacing between paragraphs... then I needed to delete that space and merge the paragraphs and then separate them again... finally by the bottom of the document, I was unable to change the last 5 paragraphs, but the single last line was agreeable to change.
To acutally accomplish the change I had to highlight line or paragraph (when it worked) by line / paragraph. I thought it might be the browser IE8 so I switched between compability mode and out... then I dl'd firefox 3.5.3 with the same results... I fought through most of the doc until I could not get the last 5 paragraphs to change so I exported to Word, and made the change there (which took all of 2 seconds) then I imported back into writer...
We shouldn't have to do that for a web product that is 3 years old...
On a positive, and full disclosure the doc is one my wife was writing, and it is her second foray into Zoho writer. She has enjoyed using zoho and the flexibility between her work and home it has provided for this piece. Additionally, why I started this font issue was due to the fact that she had tried and after highlighting all of the essay, she accidentially hit the #2 key and wiped it all out. She called in a panic, and within 1 minute I was able to view the history (18.7 revisions by that time) and simply revert back to the one right before the mistake. That is powerful! and something the Microsoft cannot compete with... once gone and saved with MS, you better hope you are backing up nightly or hourly... This is a huge plus for Zoho... however, can we please fix the font issue?
