Test in Zoho Writer
I am being lazy about this one, but do enough word processing not to want to compose prose for the hell of it. But on the positive side I can see major advantages in this for public and self.
Not sure why but works better in Firefox, and extraordinarily slow to load document in Internet Explorer, so slow in fact that had to abandon on 3 occasions (not sure why).
Discovery Resources:
Web-based productivity applications: I like the idea of having access to word processing on the internet, especially as able to connect when on desk and outside the firewall and have now wordprocessing or spreadsheets available.
Discovery Exercise:
I have a free account in Zoho for Wiki, now also in Zoho Writer and spreadsheets.
Feature | Google Docs | Zoho | MS word |
fonts & editing | easy - what I am use to, has the feel of an email page & set up | all the features I want - clear and simple | Home base |
saving | versions saved as well and discard versions when ready - has the advantage of saving to the internet rather than to pc/usb | all options: word, text, html,pdf - saving to pc or usb | know filing system, normally only current version saved |
Ability to move content | can email, use anywhere, export to pdf or alternate version, can post to blog & web | can post to blog | Must use on staff pcs not available on desk, need to copy and paste to move to email or bl |
Optional:
This posted to blog from Zoho’s "publish" options (and send via google docs as well to compare formating)
Same document in Google Docs
Spreadsheets are excellent and will test further and will test Google at a later stage, but Zoho spreadsheets work well and both should be tested to see if we can put a staff version of the roster on the internet for desk access outside the firewall.
