ZohoWriter
Yesterday I discovered another really interesting online word processor, Zoho Writer. During the little time that I have had to actually use Zoho Writer I must say that I am starting to like it more than I like Writely.
Another interesting thing to note is that there is much more to Zoho than just Writer. Zoho has an entire office suite of AJAX-based applications including: Show, Sheet, Planner, and others. Zoho Sheet looks even more stunning at first glance, but I haven’t really had a chance to use it yet.
Unlike Michael Robertsons “Ajax” office applications over at ajaxLaunch.com these applications are indeed AJAX based, and not XUL.
The thing that really impressed me was that it is able to import/export ODF files! Making this yet another application able to read/write ODF files.
Just for some quick testing I upload about 3 OpenOffice.org files and all of them opened flawlessly. I also uploaded two MS Word files; 1 from a client at work and another from a vendor we deal with at work. Both of these files opened flawlessly as well. Granted none of these files were “extremely” complicated but several of them did contain some basic formating such as tables.
