Zoho Writer – Video Tip

We have written quite a bit about Web 2.0 here at HelpMeRick.com and this week I decided to start a mini-series featuring my favorite Web 2.0 web site, Zoho. Zoho offers an online set of productivity tools unequaled anywhere else on the web. Many of the tools are offered at no cost and cover everything from word processing to project management.

In this first installment, I take you on a short tour of the Zoho word processor known as Writer. Writer offers all the tools that almost anyone needs in a word processor with the convenience of being available on any computer using any operating system or browser and at no cost to the user. Some of Writer’s features include:

  • Secure access to your documents from anywhere
  • Ability to export documents as PDF, Word, RTF and other formats
  • Collaboration tools for allowing others to work on your documents from any location
  • One of the best Thesaraus applications I’ve seen
  • Footnotes, headers, footers
  • Tables
  • Text styling
  • Open multiple documents at the same time
  • And any number of features you are used to using in a word processor

Watch this short tour of Zoho Writer to learn more and see it in action.
