Zoho Adds Editing to Writer Offline

Zoho announced users can now view and edit Zoho Writer documents in offline mode. The new editing functionality supplements the read-only capabilities initially offered in Zoho Writer's offline mode. To work offline, Zoho users log on to Zoho Writer and click the “Go Offline” link at the top of the Zoho Writer screen. First-time offline users are prompted to install Google Gears, the browser plug-in, if it is not already installed on the local machine. Once Google Gears is installed, the user restarts the browser, logs back into Zoho Writer, and clicks "Go Offline." Zoho Writer then automatically downloads personal and shared documents based on the sort order selected in the Zoho Writer main page. More or fewer documents can be downloaded by clicking on the down arrow next to the "Go Offline" link. Next, users are automatically redirected offline, to http://writer.zoho.com/offline, where they can view, edit, and save their documents using Zoho Writer's browser-based interface. Users who have previously used Zoho Writer's view-only offline mode will have editing capabilities automatically enabled the next time they click "Go Offline." To return online, users click "Go Online." Zoho Writer then prompts users to synchronize their offline and online documents. http://www.zoho.com, http://www.adventnet.com/
