Zoho has added a couple new options for its web-based document creation tool, Zoho Writer. None of the changes are all that significant, but I think Zoho missed out on some potential here.
First of all, its new Page View will show how your document will look if separated into pages. What I really like about this new option is that it looks a lot like Microsoft’s Word processor. I’m not saying that Zoho should be a copycat, but it just looks better when you’re typing a document and it looks more realistic. But here’s the thing–this is only available for viewing purposes. You can’t edit your document while it’s in Page View.
It may not seem like a big deal to some, but I think that offering this more realistic view of your document makes the conversion between Word and Zoho that much easier. It goes along with the existing notions and experiences we already have in regards to document applications.
Other new features include the ability to add headers and footers, the ability to download and email public Zoho documents (much like Scribd), and an improved spell checker that now supports 43 languages. In all, Zoho Writer’s updates make the experience and the finished product more professional. That’s an obvious necessity for a web-based tool that’s competing with Microsoft’s office suite.
