 * FoCusOn** [|Zoho Writer] the online word processing so far looks like it could be a competitor for google.docs. Here's a few reasons why. You can have several docs open in tabs. The interface has a left menu bar where you can see your various types of docs. I don't think google.docs has a templates feature. I don't think goo.docs has a print preview function. Printing can be problematic; things don't turn out like you thought. It's wordprossing interface is an immediately familar and friendly to non-techie folks. Sharing docs using //read only/read write//, familiar computing terms.


 * FoCusOn** [|Zoho Show] the presentation tool. You can upload your own PowerPoints. You can save as view only.

**Limitations**
In Zoho Show it wasn't immediately apparent how to undo some inserted images. Not sure how it'd work on a dial up. Not sure if it's 508 compliant.
