Guide Review - Zoho Writer
There's a lot to like about Zoho Writer. It's a very attractive online word processor and you could definitely use it to replace Microsoft Word. I already have Microsoft Word but I keep a lot of documents online so I can access them when I'm on the road and this makes the plug-in that ties Microsoft Word and Zoho Writer together invaluable.
I need my fair share of spell check and I really wish that Zoho Writer would check my spelling as I'm typing. For that, I have to put Zoho Writer right below Google Docs.
