TX Text Control ActiveX Server Feature Overview
TX Text Control ActiveX Server is a word processing engine for ASP. Unlike the other versions of TX Text Control, it is not an editor with dialog boxes and menus into which an end-user types.
Build word processing applications you can count on with TX Text Control .NET.
