Zoho Add-on for Microsoft Office is a useful add-on which bridges the gap between online and offline. With this plugin users can create or edit documents with MS office and upload the changes to Zoho online account. This plugin does 2 main jobs;
- Create, edit and save their documents & spreadsheets directly to Zoho Writer/Sheet from within Microsoft Word/Excel.
- Users can open and edit their Zoho documents & spreadsheets in Microsoft Word/Excel and save it back to their respective Zoho services.
After installation Zoho Buttons will show up within the Add-Ins tab on the Office (Microsoft Office 2007) toolbar. It is mandatory to have a Zoho account to make use of the plug-in.
Features of this Plugin include;
- Option to keep a local copy.
- Offline editing of Documents and Workbooks
- Multi user support.
- New tab for accessing local documents.
This add-on works with Word and Excel, but is not compatible with Docx and Xlsx formats in Office 2007.
It will definitely overcome the drawbacks of online office applications.
