Multi page view/edit

Does TRichView allow viewing of RTF documents with at least 2 pages, side-by-side?

IMPORTANT: in 2-page mode when the user goes to the "next page", the page on the right should go to the left, and the next page in the sequence should show on the right. The reverse should happen when the user goes to the "previous page". Is TRichView able to do this?

Being able to edit in this mode would be an advantage, however it is not essential.

Multipage viewing and editing is possible in ScaleRichView.
The described behavior is not standard, but I think its possible to implement it in free page positioning mode.
I asked Ilya to make a demo

I am sorry for a delay.

The demo itself is very simple. However, we found some flaws in free page positioning mode in ScaleRichView (for example, the component tries to center at the current page on resizing, so there is a flickering when pages are positioned back).
We will make corrections in ScaleRichView and post a demo later.

We plan to update both a version for registered users and a public trial version soon (since we need to include XE5 support)

If you are still interested, the demo is here:
http://www.trichview.com/support/files/twopages.zip (includes EXE file)
It uses ScaleRichView to implement a two-page view.

It looks like this:

This screenshot shows A4 pages. To make text larger, you can use a smaller page size.

The ZIP file includes source code as well, but it requires the newest version of TRichView and ScaleRichView (which will be uploaded to registered user today)
