James Newton-King , creator of TextGlow

At Intergen we are always looking forward to see

how we can use new technology to help customers.

In todays increasingly virtual world it is

becoming more and more important that

companies have the ability to share documents

across multiple platforms.

With the incredible growth of Office documents

being shared on SharePoint and other

websites, one pain point we identified

is the process of having to download

and open the file locally to view

its contents.

Using the new Office Open

file formats (which open the

door to reading, writing and

modifying all types of

documents) and Microsofts

new Silverlight platform for

creating rich applications on

the web, we saw an

opportunity to solve thisproblem, not just

for our customers, but for all and sundry. And thats where TextGlow comes in.

TextGlow allows you to quickly view a Word document on a web page without

having Word installed on the local computer, without having to download any

files or open any slow applications. You can preview documents with ease as you

browse the website.

Were really excited about the huge potential that TextGlow offers. And we believeapplications of this type are just the beginning We cant wait to see what other

great opportunities these technologies will bring!James Newton-King

Microsoft is delighted to see independent

software vendors such as Intergen taking

full advantage of Open XML. TextGlow is a

great example of how customers can use the

rich functionality Open XML offers irrespective

of platform or the productivity application

on their desktop.Jean Paoli, General

Manager for Interoperability and XML

Architecture, Microsoft Corporation

A world first developed right here in NZ by us!

TextGlow has received great attention following

its international launch in early March, and helps

pave the way for the future of online collaboration

and documentation.

Silverlight 2.0 + OOXML = TextGlow
