Formatting of text pasted into Zoho documents
Howdy, I'm a newbie and finding Zoho an improvement to MS Word. Consider yourself hugged. High on my wish list would be plain text cut-and-paste. When pasting text from the web to Zoho, presently Zoho imports the formatting along with the text. This means that every cut-and-paste operation brings in text in a different font, size, or style. Can we have at least the option of importing plain text without formatting (or better yet, is this option already out there?) ... Thanks Helen

However, it seems (only speculating ofc) to be stuck in cell-phone mode? everything looks scrambled. I can't access any of

Writer loads as a blank page.

I've noticed that whenever I restart my web browser (Firefox 2) and try to open Zoho Writer, it always shows the login screen first, even if I have an URL direct to the writing interface itself.

I have to refresh the page totally in order to get it to work properly, but doing
