EI Office releases latest *.docx compatible version

With the release of EI Office, Evermore Software sets a new standard in the development of seamless office data integration. Evermore's software suite combines all office programs into a single application at a significantly lower price than other office suites on the market. And with the latest copyright laws regarding the legalisation of your office and home software, making the transition to a fully-legal office suite need not be a costly expense.

EI Office is a more cost-effective alternative to any Microsoft Office suite on the market with exactly the same look and feel as Microsoft Office. And with the latest fluctuations in the rand/dollar exchange rate, EI Office guarantees not to burn any holes in your pocket. EI Office is available from the 25 November for R599.99 (including VAT) for three users. Visit www.holton.co.za for more information.

Holton & Associates is the sole distributor of EI Office in South Africa. Starting a new and previously unknown anti-virus product in South Africa called BitDefender in January 2004 was interesting and challenging in many ways. The anti-virus product market in South Africa, like most software products offered in South Africa, was found to be very competitive. Old-fashioned service, price and more service soon won over the most loyal of dealers and retailers to Holton & Associates' products and personal service offered.

EI Office is a seamlessly integrated Office environment. Unlike other packages where separate applications are thrown into a suite and forced to work together, EI Office delivers one user interface, programmed under one roof, by one team, with one design and file format, providing true integration focused on enhanced user productivity. Spreadsheets, text documents and presentation graphics can now be linked as easily as you cut and paste. And you can continue to work with Microsoft documents - open, edit and save in all Microsoft file formats including *.docx.

EI Office can open, edit and save as all Microsoft file formats including *.docx (Microsoft 2007 file format) and import and export Microsoft documents. All documents are saved in a native *.eio file format which can be changed using the dialogue box; EI Office can be configured to automatically save and export Microsoft Office documents.

EI Office was designed to look and feel like Microsoft Office. EI Office has a similar graphical user interface and the toolbars, dialogue boxes and quick keys have the same functions as Microsoft, as they all correspond to a single user interface design.

Switching to EI Office means your training costs are reduced as new users need not relearn steps and commands. The transition to EI Office is smooth and seamless, like working between documents in our binders. EI Office task panes eliminate desktop confusion by reducing the need to search through menus by keeping common commands directly on the desktop.

EI Office integrates a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation graphics in a single application. Unlike other Office suites, EI Office is not a collection of programs that have been thrown together and forced to work with each other. Linking office data between documents is a smooth process where fewer steps are needed to perform the same function and work patterns are not interrupted to search for commands in different locations. You can also work in multiple windows and toggle between applications.

The word processor is a pleasure to work on; cut and paste and functioning is simple and straightforward.

Worksheets can be seamlessly integrated with reports, memos and presentations.

EI Office has a complete set of math, statistical, engineering, financial and analyses tools.

With EI Office you can open, display and edit spreadsheets, reports and memos in real-time as you do your presentation.

EI Office can be exported to PDF directly from the desktop without the need for an additional document converter. A PDF generator is integrated directly into EI Office, all you have to do is select the Save As command. This is a fantastic feature as you can send those documents that you would like to secure straight from EI Office without the need to buy a converting program.

Loads on all Windows operating systems, including Vista, as well as Linux - Ubuntu, Red Hat and Suse.

You can synchronise an entire project by linking data between documents as easily as you cut and paste. If you change data in one document, all documents are updated. By using the Paste Link command in EI Office, worksheets, text documents and presentation data contained in the same or different binders can be inserted in other documents and updated in real-time. You don't have to update manually, which saves hours of wasted time hunting for and replacing data. EI Office offers 100% synchronisation and accuracy.

EI Office ensures you will never lose work again to a power surge or unexpected operating system failure. The reason for this is that EI Office's file and data structure automatically saves data when you press the Enter key.

EI Office's file format and data structure lets users store all related Office documents in a single binder, binding the word processor, spreadsheet and presentation graphics all together. A binder reduces the number of files on your desktop by giving you the option to store all related documents in a single file in a single location. Data objects in a binder are more easily shared between documents and individual binders and documents can be password protected.

Importing external data directly into EI Office is an additional feature to the integrated application. EI Office understands that your Office data may exist as part of a larger database and to that end it has built-in tools necessary to retrieve, edit, and manipulate that data with EI Office. Data from Dbase, Excel, Access and Visual Fox Pro databases are easily imported, saving you time and money as you do not need to run these databases from an additional application such as Access.

EI Office Math and Science Editor is a powerful editing and publishing tool for creating math- and science-related documents and reports. It was designed to support complex illustrations and equations directly in the active document. It also provides for language annotations and the development of complex flow charts. EI Office eliminates the need to purchase an add-on science image or math package which can be an expensive add-on, costing you hundreds of rands.

Designed with third-party developers in mind, EI Office includes a full-featured Java editing environment. This fully functional Java integration tool was designed to help programmers and businesses move from just installing an Office suite towards building a comprehensive document management and business information system by customising binders to perform specific tasks.

EI Office does not include a mail client because Evermore Software does not feel it is as necessary as some other companies would have you believe. EI Office was designed to automatically work with whatever e-mail client you already have on your desktop. EI Office will automatically search for and activate your default e-mail client.

EI Office offers a unique office experience by integrating a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation graphics into one program that has all the features and functions you have come to expect from a modern office suite. Plus, new advances that allow you to open, edit and save as *.docx (Microsoft 2007) file format. EI Office is a feature-rich, fully integrated, full function office productivity suite that costs hundreds of rands less than other office suites at only R599.99.
