Anyway as I told even there, Writely misses some really required features of a word processor. I tried creating my resume on it, and you try it, you realise the potential drawbacks.
No margins, no page setups, no tab-space settings, no identation settings. These are just a few of the many more drawbacks of it. It can only be used for very very simplistic task like writing short articles or creating documents that are not to be printed but only viewed online. It cannot be used for Desktop Publishing.
It will be long time before I uninstall OpenOffice.org Writer or MS Word for anything like Writely.

Try Desktoptwo.com, its an online desktop and it runs OpenOffice on the net. It uses VNC to transfer raw real time images of the software running on the server to you. User experience may be worse than Writely, but the good thing is I can bank upon it incase sometime I need a full powered word processor urgently and all I have is an internet connection.
