One of the complaints or excuses that I often hear from people reluctant to use cloud computing is, “but all my files are in Word.” Zoho Writer’s import options alleviate the “but my files are in Word” excuse for not trying cloud computing. With the announcement today that Zoho users can now import Microsoft Word 2007 documents the total number of importable document types is seven. The other formats that can be imported to your Zoho Writer account are html, doc, sxw, odt, rtf and txt. Zoho Writer users wishing to save documents to a local drive to email as an attachment now have the option of selecting from eight different file types.

Overall the most important aspect of the import and export options offered by Zoho Writer is that it can help ease the transition to cloud computing.
