ely of Microsoft Office software.

EIOffice is a great piece of software: not only is it exceptionally stable on both Windows and Linux, but it works seamlessly with its Microsoft counterpart. Having said that we cannot help but wonder how computer users will embrace this software. On the one hand there is Microsoft Office, which everyone knows but it is rather expensive, and on the other there is OpenOffice.org, which is completely free but it has a few quirks. EIOffice appears to have captured the market space squarely in the middle, but is that enough to secure a place in the home and office environmenIn all honesty, we had never even heard of EIOffice (Evermore Integrated Office) until we were asked to do a review on EIOffice 2007 recently. EIOffice is developed by a Chinese software development house called Evermore Software.

It is no secret that Microsoft has a distinct market share on the Office productivity suite environment and third-party software developers have been trying to remove Microsoft from that top spot for years. EIOffice aims to do so by providing a product that looks similar to Microsoft’s offering, but it also has a few tricks up its sleeve. One of the first noticeable features of this software package is that it is compatible with both Windows and Linux, and an Apple Mac version should be available later this year.

The installation process is pretty straightforward and once the installation process is complete, you will only notice a new icon in your task bar from which you can start any of the EIOffice applications. This office suite consists of a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation graphics applications. There is also a science editor included in the package. What is rather interesting is that all the office productivity applications in EIOffice reside within the same user interface - this means that unlike other office suites all the applications will open in one window.

So, what sets this office suite apart from everything else that is currently available on the market? Well, Evermore Software markets EIOffice 2007 as the world’s first fully integrated office suite. This means that not only do all the applications reside within the same user interface, but the software also includes integration technologies that allow date to be seamlessly used, shared, and reused between documents. In laymen’s terms, you can link a cell in the spreadsheet application to a word document. Not only will the data change on the fly when you change the data in the master document, but the link between the documents is exceptionally stable. Even more so than the data link capabilities in Microsoft Office.

Documents created in EIOffice can be saved to their own proprietary file format or the standard file formats from Microsoft. There is also the option to save directly to PDF. During the time we used EIOffice, we were very impressed by its stability and the transition from Microsoft Office was very easy. It was very easy to integrate this office suite into our office that consists entirely of Microsoft Office software.
