Unable to "discuss" a shared document
This has been bothing me for couple months already. After I've shared a document with someone, usually 1 or more friends, we can enter the collaboration mode, with highlighted editing texts. However, we cannot "IM" to discuss the document on the left hand bar. It'd flash the "person" symbol to show that a collaborator's available, yet when I (and he) click on the symbol, it says that "you must share to discuss this document..." Discussion worked before, sometime ago, but like i said since couple
ID param in the form
Hi, Could you tell me more details about ID, which is requried to submit a file? I went through the manual at http://writer.zoho.com/public/help/writer.remoteapi/fullpage, but still i wonder what it is all about. Do i have to generate it by myself in the first place, and then am gonna have to keep it in my server for reference? Or it's YOU that generate it? Plus, any rule or convention to conjure it up? Or just OK to leave it up to me? Takash
Table Frame does not disappear when switching documents
The frame drawn (the drag handles) when a Table is selected remains visible even when I switch to another document. Screenshot of the artifact attached.
Table drag handles do not match centered table boundaries
As you can see on the screenshot the drag handles to not match the table's boundaries (the table is centered) and thus they are quite useless when one wants to resize the table by dragging them. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071128 SUSE/2.0.0.11-1.5 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Remote API
Hi there, Did you employ the Remote API to integrate Zoho Writer with Starforce? If so, is it actually the one mentioned in your page at http://writer.zoho.com/public/help/writer.remoteapi/fullpage or the tailored one specific to Starfoce? Thanks in advance, Takash
New folders?
There is a new document button in all of the Zoho online applications, but no way of creating a new folder. Personally it would be best of these folders showed in the sidebar of every application, with documents not viewable by the application but with an indication of which application can open them. ia
Document views
I switched to Page View which I do prefer. I would just like to ask how to switch it back to other views and also can I make Page View the default? ia
fort size 11
I once read a study that said the most east to read font size is 11 point size. Maybe so. Don't know. But I do suggest that you add 11 pt size to your list of point size options. wade.whitme
emails about sharing documents
Google Docs allows users to send themselves a copy of the email when a document is shared; this is helpful because you know the message went out. Also, Google Docs sends the email with the user's email address as the "from" address, allowing the recipient to reply. Right now, there's no easy way to notify someone that you received their invitation to share a document. danbutcher
Unable to edit a shared document that was sent as editable
I have a zoho account, and set one up for my mother. I then created a document for her that would be editable for a group. I checked the box for the invited group members to be able to edit the document. However, when I click on the email that I recieved as a member of that group, I cannot edit the document -whether I am signed into zoho or not. johnfrisbi
Paste from clipboard/Insert Todays Date
I am playing with Zoho Writer to see if I can recommend it to my clients. I could not copy & paste text form other websites or documents. Is this a bug or not a feature in the current beta version? I can paste from the clipboard into this forum document. I also could not find a way to insert the current date into the document. Thanks Herb Wexler Norwalk CT
Header and Footer in templates
Hi, I'm new to this program. I cannot find how to add the header and footer in templates. Can someone kindly advise how to do that? Or the header and footer are supported for documents, but not templates? If not, it should be. Then we don't need repeat efforts on adding common wordings, e.g., author names, confidential terms, etc.. Thanks & Regards, Terry
Cannot view shared doc
Hi guys, A colleague has sent me a shared writer doc and I've registered, but that doc does not appear in my list. When I click on the link in the email confirmation, I can see the doc, but can't edit it and when I log into writer, it is not in any of my shared doc lists. Rick

I am inexplicably taken from place to place in the document
I am inexplicably taken from place to place in my writer documents, for no reason that I can see. I'll just be working, and then, all of a sudden, I am taken to the beginning or last page of my documents. Often it happens when the little circle stops spinning.

ZOHO est un bureau virtuel vraiment complet. Chapeau aux créateurs et hébergeurs et merci également. Super, on y fait tout sans exception. Seul gros point sombre (pas noir) la langue domage pour l'anglais. Je ne peux que conseiller le bureau virtuel à toutes et à tous. Fini les programmes encombrant nos pc. Merci mathysjeanclaud
bug
I found that Zoho is not importing pages properly. Some times it imports two words withput space in between them. Please, fix this as I cannot believe Zoho does that. Thanks. vikyboss

Left/Right/Center Justify...
I've had some issues with getting it to work correctly. In NURS704, it justifies the whole document, (not just the specific line.) In NURS611, it doesn't justify at all. michaelatigh
Google gears
I found Google gears to be taking a lot of resource always. It is running always. Please find some other ways to bring docs offline. I heard that Microsoft sync is more powerful and futuristic than Google gears. vikyboss

Collaboration keeps changing
Is there something going on with the collaborator function it Writer, keeps changing, very unstable in collaboration. digitaldig
Selected text doesn't stay selected
I am wondering if others are seeing this behavior. When I select text in Zoho Writer, unless I am very quick about performing an action on the selected text, and very often even if I am quick, part but not all of the selected text will become unselected, with the selection being lost at either the beginning or the end of the selected text, or both. This has been consistent behavior since I began using Zoho about 6 months ago, spanning several updates of Firefox 2.x. I have seen no equivalent behavior
Fonts
Zoho writer asks me to choose from only a few fonts. But I do not wish to use them, and the ones I wish to use are not dispalyed in the dropdown menu. Mangat Bhardwaj bhardwajmanga
design
I think you need to provide a wonderful and sleekinsh interface like Google docs. I found Google may be using some design experts to design everything. I really like all Google designs. I think you should also improve your GUI and give a web 2.0 design for everything. Thanks. vikyboss
Problem in writer
I am faing problem whenI Open Zoho writer at my laptop.I opens fine on my office computer, but at my home it opens and then I get an browser error and it closes that window.I can open other applications like wiki,planner etc but not writer. What could be the reason? karnav
Document Titles
There should be an easy way to change the title of a document. I tried right-clicking (in Windows), but that did not work. I tried saving the document as a new document and retitling it that way, but that did not work either. Thanks, and best wishes to you. slipstream6
styles
I imported a simple HTML file. It contains "<code>" sections (not block level " ", but inline "<code>"). I cannot assign this style to new text. I didn't find how to create new styles either. The FAQ doesn't seem to contain the word "style" anywhere. Did I miss something, or is this just intended to be some sort of online Wordpad-like program where all formatting is supposed to be done manually? Thanks, RD rduke15
how we doing on getting keyboard function on iPhone?
I remain so keyed up to have the keyboard functional for Zoho on the iPhone. How are things coming on having that working for us? I remember one of you guys had emailed me that it hinges on something called API from Apple. I have been spreading the word about Zoho. :-) Enjoy! Ron rmort4
Bookmarking Documents
I think Zoho's interface is better than Google's! I also love the Google Gears offline feature (need to do that for Sheet). I also like that the docID includes the document title. But... I wish that there was a one-button way to bookmark (copy a link) to the document, that would allow me to open Zoho Writer to that document, the way I can in Google Docs. In Zoho Writer, I can copy the link, but that link opens the document in Zoho Writer without the left MY DOCS nav panel, and without the topline
Losing position in text when switching tabs
Anyone else have the problem that when you switch to a different tab (i.e. document) and then back to the first one, zoho writer automatically takes you back to the beginning of that document? It is very annoying. Sometimes, I'd like to quickly flick and compare between the middle of two different documents and this bug stops you doing this. Many thanks

learning how to use ZoHo Writer
After year of using WordPerfect and Word, I naturally tried to find features equivalent to those programs in Writer. Wrong! For example: I want to delete a file, but can find no tools that does that, and the FAQ offers no help. Please tell me how to discover and learn Writer features. francoit

Collaborator feature
The document is share but will not show up in the Collaborator box. Worked perfectly the other day, now will not. It says in the left pane "you need to share this document to discuss here" it is shared, read/write. The other party can edit it but the dynamic interface is lost??? digitaldig
