Welcome to Zoho Writer
Your Word Processor on the Web
Thanks for signing up with Zoho Writer!Zoho Writer is the word processor designed for you, the next generation web citizen. Built using AJAX technology, it’s fast and revolutionizes the way you work with documents. Having all your documents online (and offline too! we’ll get back to that later!!), you have access to them from any computer, at home or at work. And no more emailing them back-and-forth to your colleagues, clients or friends for review, thanks to its instant collaboration, inline commenting and chat facilities.
It will take a lot more than this short welcome document to list all of Zoho Writer’s features and hence a chosen few of the Zoho Writer’s functionalities below :Formatting Options:
Bold, italicize, underline, set back ground color & color your words, link to a web page, set margins, use cool smileys ![cool]()
and do much more. Use the same keyboard shortcuts as with any other word processing application for accessing these functions.
No Searching Within Menus:
Most functions are available at a click, thanks to the friendly toolbar. And for the super user in you, a few extra features are accessible with just an extra click.
Spell CheckWhat’s a word processor without a spell checker? Zoho Writer’s does all the dirty spell checking work for you so that you needn’t worry about whether it’s receive or recieve![wink]()

| Pictures | |
| Want to decorate your document with pictures & images? Insert pictures and images in your Zoho Writer documents as you would in a normal word processor. Pull and place pictures both from your desktop as well as from the web.See how the image/picture looks like using ‘Image Preview’. Shrink to fit in case the image/pic is of larger size. And set properties for the inserted pic/image like border, spacing as well. |  |
| Tags as Folders | |
 |
Get the best of both worlds. Tags are the new folders. Not sure whether you want to put a document in the Sales or Marketing folder? That’s where tags-as-folders come in. Make the document available in both the folders! Now, isn’t that cool?

Post to your blog
Being on the web, you can post to your blog from within Zoho Writer. As you have seen above, Zoho Writer’s WYSIWYG editor is more feature-rich than a typical blog editor’s. Be it Blogger.com, WordPress.com, LiveJournal, TypePad or any blog that supports metaWeblog API, you can make the post from Zoho Writer. You can add tags and make the post optionally as a draft as well!
| Comments
Add inline comments to particular paragraphs/sentences of a document. You & your friends (or your team members & your boss) can add comments in a document you are collaborating on. Adding contextual comments is very useful for reviewing purposes. And this comes in handy for journalists/editors & teachers/students, in particular.
