It seems this company, Evermore, is getting some attention. If they are reverse engineering ms orifice this attentively and innovatively, then I hope the do the same about Lotus' SmartSuite's "WordPro", the word processor that replaced/expanded Ami Pro. WordPro has a KILLER metaphor for master/contained document creation: Tabs atop the form, in the ruler space.
Each tab contains the supporting or additional documents, and the URL to that document can be changed. The document can be inserted or linked.
Better yet, in the Lotus WordPro each document that is linked keeps it's own formatting, meaning landscape-oriented documents keep their footers, graphics, text flow and such intact. Page numbers appropriately and expectedly update. Page borders don't do funky things to the page layout or numbering, unlike my excruciatingly painful experience with SO & OO.o.
If there is available a demo or test of the EIOffice, I will try to download it. I hope there is a database tool similar to Lotus Approach, the worlds' best end-user/non-developer ad-hoc/wysiwyg relational database front end. For the cubicle worker this product kicks the pants off of ms abscess, OO.o/SO Calc, and more.

His is shorter, but at least this is an MCSE who is not afraid or too reserved to pit this promising product against ms orifice.
