Use same formatting as Microsoft Word

Hey, Zoho Docs seems really promising for some online collaborative writing tasks, but I can't start actually using it before I can download a Zoho doc and let it appear **exactly** identical in Microsoft Word.

Can you add a feature that makes Zoho Docs use the same formatting tools as Word? You are already ahead of Google Docs in this regard, but not quite yet there where I need Zoho to be.

To be more specific: if I hit the space bar 5 times, I need the document to show 5 spaces when I open it in Word. If I hit ENTER I need it to show a paragraph symbol in Word. If I set the document options in Zoho to single line spacing, I need it to actually show up in Word as single line spacing.

Also, it's great that you enable the use of document templates; this makes it so much more similar to Word than Google Docs! Would it be possible to down- and upload template files directly between my PC and my Zoho account? And what about sharing templates with other users?

Finally, again related to the formatting issue, could you add the feature of "show/hide symbols" that Word also has and allows the user to see the spaces and paragraphs in the document as symbols?

It would be fantastic if all this would work. This would dramatically support my work in which it is crucial that formatting is consistent for all users collaborating on a document.

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work,
Leon
