If you still experience difficulties, let us know at support at zohowriter com so our folks can look at it. A sample document (without your private data) that shows the formatting issues would be really useful.

The Calendar, combined with "Remember the Milk" task manager is great and the doc management is great. The mail, notebooks, bookmarks needs a lot of work. As a professional in a business that is document intensive, being almost paper-free is awesome... John Mike;

Great Been away, back now. Great to see zoho checking up on comments about it's product, it's tough for businesses to function if they don't know what's being said about them. @John - It's good to hear success stories, are you a one man company, or has your whole organization adopted Google Docs?

The pagination and layout tools that you've implemented are first class, as is the overall feel of the service. A lot of the documents that I'm currently working with have special formatting requirements that, to tell you the truth, I want stripped out of the document to simplify things, but I'm not the one who decides that. I don't expect, or particularly want an online office software to become Microsoft Word, because in some way that is validating the whole MS thing all over again, I'd just like the ability to not lose formatting in a document that I import into one of these online office suites. At the moment I don't think that any of the competition can do it as well as Open Office, (which itself is not perfect, but free). I know you guys are doing a I know you guys are doing a great job.
