Sudbury, Mass. (August 31, 1999) -- Sophist Solutions has shipped ActiveLedIt! 2.3, a shareware word processor ActiveX control. ActiveLedIt! 2.3 is based on the Led text editor building class library ( http://www.sophists.com/Led/LedClassLib/). ActiveLedIt! 2.3 takes full advantage of the modern user interface features of Windows 95/98/2000. It supports such features as Drag and Drop, OLE Automation, as well as Internet support.

Since ActiveLedIt! is an ActiveX control, it can be used to provide powerful word processing capabilities in a number of programming environments which support ActiveX controls. These include Web Pages, Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, Delphi, and Java.

New in this release of ActiveLedIt!:

• Vastly improved OLE Automation support, including callback 'Events'
• Digitally signed, and compressed CAB file distribution
  
• More powerful configuration options (which scrollbars to show, word-wrapping strategy, etc)
• Per paragraph user settable justifications (other 'ruler' settings only available through imported RTF text in this release - no actual ruler shown)
• Numerous problems fixed with embedding in particular ActiveX container applications.

Sophist Solutions has also released an update of their Led Class Library, LedLineIt! shareware, high capacity text editor (http://www.sophists.com/Led/LedLineIt/) and LedIt! word processor application ( http://www.sophists.com/Led/LedIt/ ).
