I have been very impressed by the ZOHO Online Office Suite. Yesterday we checked out ZOHO Sheets and Writer. Today we will go more in depth and explore the other applications.
First let’s take a look at ZOHO Show 2.0 … This is a PowerPoint clone which allows you to directly import your existing PowerPoint presentations or create a new one from scratch.
As with Sheets and Writer I was easily able to import a PowerPoint presentation into ZOHO Show 2.0 … Also there are several objects including Clip Art included with Show 2.0 … ZOHO will periodically automatically save any document you are working on which is also very nice.
As with ZOHO Writer and Sheets the controls are easily accessed and the layout makes working in this Suite very intuitive.
This first slide is exactly what I imported from my local machine to ZOHO.
This following slide I used the original PowerPoint slide and added some ZOHO Clip Art.
Of course the Microsoft Office Suite is going to have far more options … however … if you need to whip up a quick nice looking presentation and want to collaborate with other persons, then ZOHO is a great choice. I did receive a response back from a ZOHO representative and they did advise that Microsoft Office 2007 applications will soon be supported. I have yet to try Google Docs but so far I am very impressed with ZOHO. Everything I would ever need to use it for is very effective. Plus there is a lot of extra features. In the coming days I will go more in depth with those features.
Let’s face it … CRT monitors are still out there in the office environment. Where I work we are slowly phasing them out as our budget allows. The other day I was troubleshooting an issue with an older computer with a CRT monitor and when I looked at it I almost got sick from the flickering
If you are reading this article you are probably annoyed that every single time you add a bookmark in Firefox you have to click on the expand button to show the folder list before you can actually locate the folder to put the bookmark in.
How many times have you been watching a long video on your computer and had the screensaver come on? Then you play the game of trying to jiggle the mouse every certain number of minutes to make sure it doesn’t happen again… seems like it would be easier to have a really quick way to disable the
After a buddy of mine pestered me enough about Winamp I finally decided to take the 10th Anniversary Edition for a test run. Previous versions of Winamp never impressed me much. I hate having to configure tons of worthless features in a player. Also, I have never liked inviting intrusive
We’ve all gotten the call from some family member asking why their computer isn’t working properly. After an hour of troubleshooting over the phone with them or trying to get remote assistance to work we’ve decided we’re skipping the next family reunion to avoid being asked to help… there has to be
One of the nice little features in Windows Vista that you don’t think about is the graph of drive space for your drive icons, so you can visually see at a glance how much space is used. There’s no reason to upgrade for this feature, especially since some programmers created a small utility for XP
The look of the Windows Vista Sidebar is a little drab, and there’s no way to customize it with the default tools in Vista. Thankfully third party developers have stepped up to the plate and created an application that will let you re-theme the sidebar.
Reader Jeffrey wrote in asking how to create an icon to start up the screensaver in Windows Vista. This question is so common that I figured I’d write up the answer for everybody, as well as provide a downloadable set of shortcuts to all the default screensavers (for Vista users).
After writing about how to setup Gmail IMAP in Outlook, I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from users wondering how to make Outlook download the entire message instead of just the headers. You’ll have to navigate through a convoluted set of menus, but it’s really quite simple.
While troubleshooting a programming problem today I noticed that you can’t use a LIKE search for string columns containing special characters like % or _ without using a special syntax. Figuring out the problem took only a few minutes, but remembering syntax is always easier if you write about it.
