Figure 1 - Gobe Productive documents, such as the one in the example above, can contain several different document types.  This sample includes a text (word processing), spreadsheet, chart, table, clock, and graphics frame, all within a single document.  The Gobe Productive interface dynamically changes to display the toolbars and menus applicable to the currently active environment.  In this case, the spreadsheet frame is active.   Most of the tools in Gobe Productive can be "torn-off" to display a floating palette.  Here, the Fill Tool has been "torn-off" and is displayed on the bottom of the document for easier use.
