Thing 13: Zoho Writer Overview

 Thing 13:  Zoho Writer

  
     I am intrigued at the ease of use and functionality of Zoho Writer.  The flexibility of collaboratively working on a document, and the ability to make comments, with a group of colleagues in real time offers insight into the value of web based software.  Additionally, the "tag as folders" feature makes locating documents a breeze and the automatic save feature proved to be a life saver within this short post.

     Being a middle school math teacher, I am impressed at the level of options in writing math problems and equations.  I find Zoho Writer to be much more proficient than Microsoft Word in this fashion.  The three main options offered in Zoho Writer are:

1. Subscript: 
2. Superscript:

     In consideration of some of the components I like least, my number one complaint regarding the software is the manner in which it manages misspelled words.  With Microsoft Word, you can actually right click on the misspelled word and it will provide you with the correct spelling.  In Zoho Writer, it will denote the word by placing a red line under it, but it does not offer the shortcut for correcting the word.  Additionally, I miss the paintbrush formatting option that Microsoft Word

     Apart from this minor flaw, I find Zoho Writer to be liberating, just at the photo above portrays.  It will certainly prove to be a defining force in future document writing by providing a new age approach toward team engagement and production.
