Last year we’d integrated Google Docs with our popular business apps Zoho CRM, Projects etc., Our users loved this new initiative and came up with some excellent suggestions on further enhancements.

2

Our users always surprise us when it comes to using Zoho’s services in esoteric ways. We came across this interesting post by Bidhan Adhikary (Bidhan is from Nepal) recently – ‘How to play Chess online with your friend using Zoho Docs‘.

Sorting Data in Zoho Writer

One of the most sought after features by many Zoho Writer users has been sorting of content. We have addressed this requirement now. You can sort a table, a numbered/bulleted list or a set of paragraphs. Zoho Writer can sort text such as a list of names, dates, numbers, currencies etc.

You can use the

The latest update to Zoho Writer brings in some new formatting options
