Adding Fonts
Hello everybody! I just got this nice looking Zoho Writer application and notice there are not too many types of fonts in it. Any way to add more? Thanks in advance, AndreiHow can I switch from inches to centimeters?
Hey Zoho-Team, I tried to switch to another measuring unit. Inches are not used in Europe, but i couldn't find an option to use metric units. How can I switch the ruler, tabstops, positions of elements and everything else to the metric system? ThankAuto update Current Date field
Hello, I don't know if this is a bug or supposed to work this way but assuming the latter i'm posting it as a feature request. We use Zoho CRM Mail Merge (which uses Zoho Writer) and we have a letter that has today's date in it (pretty normal use, right?). The date was inserted by going to the Insert menu>Todays Date. The problem is that when you use the template again the next day it hasn't updated to today's date. It still has the date from yesterday. Isn't it supposed to update it? Rather strangeHow to share Writer templates with other in same Org?
I am creating letterhead, form letter templates and proposal templates in Writer. I have them saved as templates for myself, but want to share with my organization. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. Byron Skaggs Skaggs & Calder Cairo, EgyptVertical text
Is there a way to make the text go vertically rather than horizontally?Miss the LibreOffice plugin too. Use MS Office plugin instead?
I too miss the plugin for LibreOffice! Google Docs Writer is so lame and won't even let Zoho access .odt files clean to let you work on them in Zoho. Whatever the reason Zoho terminated LibreOffice plugin support, can't the MS Office plugin be substituted for LibreOffice with a little tweaking? I don't understand why Zoho is pushing LibreOffice people to do online documents on an inferior service! I would even pay a charge for this feature in Zoho Docs. Is it really that intense a maintenance issueCan't upload file to Zoho Docs using API
Hi I am using the free version of Zoho Docs and trying to upload a file into the root folder using PHP and the Docs API.

hi, zoho rules, but it would rule even more if there was a screenplay template available - are there any plans for a creative app, perhaps with a set of theatre, television & film script templates?Spanish Spell Check
I'm a native English speaker, but I write papers in Spanish for class. How do I change my spell check when I'm writing papers from English spell check to Spanish spell check, because it's frustrating to have my entire paper underlined in red because my spell check is checking for mistakes in the wrong language.

I must be missing the clue. I click on the Template Library link and get a web page that has a bunch of templates listed. That is all fine and good but I cannot figure out how to add them to my lib or even use them in any way. There does not seem to be any way to make this happen that I can see. Is there a tutorial on templates for Zoho Writer somewhere? --WesWhy is Zoho sucking so much lately

Dear Zoho, I recently downloaded your Microsoft Office plugin. I am using Windows 7 and Office 2007. The plugin seemed to download fine, however, when I try to login to Zoho from the plug in I keep getting the following error message. I have tried saying yes and no to this and I get the same result either way. After this it will just say, "Authentication failed. Please check your ZohoID and password." I am not having any trouble logging in using Firefox. I would really appreciate it if someone canWeb Survey Forms -- Powered by Zoho Writer

Hi, I can set up templates and they work fine in EchoSign directly. But with the Zoho integration, I cannot find any document or instructions on how to: 1) Place more than 1 digisign in multiple areas on a document 2) Add additional form fields to be filled out and make some required 3) Map that data to anything, if we can. 4) Have more than 1 signer 5) Have me sign at the end I used to use DocuSign integration with Salesforce and it was somewhat complex but it had tons of documentation in support.Zoho writer doesn't work on Opera Browser

Hi! I'm trying to use cURL to post a .doc-file to Zoho Writer instead of using the form from the example. When posting using the example form code and the url-field, the word file is read within a few seconds.

Greetings! I currently use the Composer element of SeaMonkey to edit HTML files. I'd like to do this on Zoho if possible, but I can't locate such a feature if it's here.

I use Word's Outline formatting extensively, and I've been searching for an online app that preserves this function. Zoho comes close -- at least it preserves the actual shape of the file, but not the outlining functions. (Microsoft's online operation doesn't even do that.) Is there some way to work with an actual outline on Zoho Writer, including the ability to move sections around? Any plans for this?Automated Signing Workflows in Zoho Writer using Zoho Sign: select Digital Signature provider option not available

Dear Support, I would like to know when the dropbox subfolder sync is coming to the zoho projects? The dropbox sync has great potential but sadly not being able to sync complete folder architectures with one click is a huge bummer. For example, I might have one central project folder that includes tens and tens of sub- and sub-subfolders. Manually syncing each is a waste of time. This is the central function why we chose to use zoho as our project management tool and would like to have it functioningThe New Writer: Put the document picker back!
Really? Did you guys really remove the awesome easy document picker from the new Zoho writer??? Now we have to go through the rigamarole of extra navigation to get to our files... Just like word. For crying out loud. That document picker was awesome and now there is just wasted space to the left of the document.Redlining in Writer

Dear community, since today 16 July the sidebar, ( the one with the list of my writer documents available) is hidden by default. I can only open it by pressing the dropout button and then it jumps out to the right. My problem is that in that case the bar covers the part of the document. I remember a week ago a side bar used to be a constant part of a writer window, as it still is in zoho sheet ( see attached picture). Due to the reason that i often have to jump between tenth of the documents I needCapture images through clipboard ...

Hello- I may be missing something, but when I try and copy & paste a document from Z Writer into Wordpress, formating such as bold and underline etc. does not carry over. Hyperlinks do, but not bold etc. This is not a problem in G Docs. I have also noticed that I can copy from Zoho into G Docs without a problem keeping the formatting, but it does not work into wordpress (works in joomla as well) I would like to use Zoho for all my documents, however the added step up having to bold and underlineZoho - excel filtering
Is it possible to filter my excel spreadsheet via zoho? ie, only show the rows that contain a "yes" in colum 'B'Return Key always double spaces
When I single space a document, the single spacing works fine. If I complete a sentence mid page, and hit return, it always double spaces. I want to prepare a document with single spaces so when I export to my blog, there are no spacing problems. I am unable to place the cursor a single space below the last sentence. If I use the space bar to go to the end of the line, then it autmatically single spaces to next line below. It would be simpler to hit return and go to the next line as a singleNext Page
