Online office suites are gaining some serious steam, and Zoho Office (along with Google Docs) remains one of the innovators in the market. Today, Zoho has released an update to Zoho Writer, their online word processing application. The biggest highlight of the update is the added support for Microsoft's OOXML file format, mercifully titled DocX. In case you didn't know, whenever you save a Word document, PowerPoint file, Excel spreadsheet, etc...in Office 2007 (or 2008 on a Mac), the default format is DocX.
Zoho Writer now allows you to export your documents as a DocX file – though it looks like importing a DocX file is still a short time away.
Other notable feature updates include:
- Thesaurus (available in ten languages)
- Groups: Share documents with multiple people without having to enter in multiple email addresses each time you share a document.
- Enhanced support for endnotes, footnotes, headers, and footers.

Actually, the default format for Word is docx, Excel is xlsx, PowerPoint is pptx, etc. You basically just take the old extension and add an x to the end. The fact that Zoho now supports docx is great, but it means that they still don't support the most recent formats of all the other Office programs.
