Zoho Writer updated, now compatible with DocX files

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.
It looks like the line between online word processing and desktop word processing just got a little thinner. How about you, constant reader? Have you made the leap to online word processing? Sound off below.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
