Web-based Word Processing with TX Text Control

Traditionally, applications are installed on every computer in a network. Whenever a new computer is added or after a hard disk has crashed, a system administrator has to go to that machine and re-install all the applications.

This is a time-consuming and expensive exercise.

Word Processing in a Browser

By deploying applications in Internet Explorer, a system administrator simply needs to copy one CAB file and accompanying HTML file onto a web server.

Whenever a client wishes to use that application, it requests the HTML file that in turn downloads the ActiveX-based application and executes it in the client's browser.

Just as a PDF viewer is loaded when a PDF document is clicked upon, so can also a fully featured word processing application.

When deployed in Internet Explorer, TX Text Control ActiveX offers end-users all the comfort of a comprehensive word processing package without the hassle or maintenance of a client install.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

As a system administrator no longer needs to install TX Text Control ActiveX on every PC in the network, the Total Cost of Ownership or TCO - the manpower required to keep a network up and running - can be drastically reduced.

Word processing applications no longer need to be created as stand-alone .EXE files, but as ActiveX Components, which are automatically downloaded and installed on first use. This satisfies all interested parties:

• End-Users are presented with a familiar Windows interface.

• System Administrators do not have to spend any time maintaining the software on the client PC.
