What Quill is not:

Quill is not Word for Windows.

For its purpose of preparing shorter documents (somewhere in the less than 20 to 30 page area, with a few images, several tables and a lot of formatting), Quill is perfect.

Quill's advantages:

  • A Quill-prepared document can be accessed from anywhere, anytime, by any authorized user.
  • Groups can collaborate on a document through Chat and invitations sent by the group leader (typically the authorized user who has opened and locked the document - generally that's the document owner or administrator).
  • With its built-in document recovery you never lose your work in the event of a connection or shutdown problem.
  • It's a simple matter to view the last 10 versions (or however many the administrator designates) of the document.
