Competition in the market for office applications provided online is intensifying with Zoho upgrading its word processor to make it more attractive to the enterprise market.
Zoho has added pagination, headers and footers, a 43-language spell checker and other new features to Zoho Writer, designed to encourage enterprise support, saying: "some analysts have identified pagination and header/footer support as gating factors to enterprise adoption of online applications. For these customers, this announcement is a landmark event."

CapGemini is pushing rival Google Apps into the enterprise market and this week announced the first deployment,  albeit in one of its own call centres.

Zoho 'evangelist', Raju Vegesna, said: "To news watchers, announcing an upgrade may not be as exciting as announcing a new product. But to our customers and those considering our products for personal or professional use, upgrades are often more exciting."

Users can now view their document in discrete pages by clicking on the 'Page View' link. Users can define headers and footers from the 'Page Setup' link or the 'Page Setup' icon in the Zoho Writer toolbar. The headers/footers that are defined will appear when the document is printed. They will also be intact when the document is exported to PDF/DOC.


Other new features include the ability to download public documents or sent to others by email in different formats; an email notification whenever comments are made to a user's public documents; availability of th user interface in Chinese, taking the tally of UI language options to 11.{moscomment}
