Thing 13: Zoho Writer vs Google Docs

The online applications to make documents were fairly similar to Word. I did have a little trouble with both. Zoho Writer to me was difficult to use compared to Google Docs.

Zoho Writer...

• Had trouble getting out of the header/footer.
• Easy to insert pictures.
• Hard to re size pictures and get them in the right proportions.
• Font and color was easy to change.
• Easy to insert a table but could not delete it.
• Tried to export it to my computer it worked, but when I opened it in Word it was really messy looking.

Google Docs...

• Header/footer was easy to get in and out.
• Easy to insert a picture and re size.
• Font and color was easy to do.
• Easy to insert a table and to delete it.
• Could not figure out how to export this document to my computer.

So I am not sure how to attach these test documents to my blog. I prefer the Google Docs application over the Zoho Writer because Google was easier to use. I am always up for user friendly! These applications would be great for students to collaborate with each other since you can share documents and spreadsheets.

The only way I could figure out how to put my documents in my blog was to make the public documents where anyone could see them with Internet access. Which I really do not like but I guess I have to.
