FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Los Angeles, CA- July 24 , 2000- Mac users who don't have Microsoft® Word installed on their computers share a common frustration: They occasionally need to open '.doc' files created in MS Word. icWord, Israel-based Panergy Ltd.'s new Microsoft® Word viewer for the Mac, solves this problem. This new utility enables Mac users to open, view, and print Microsoft® Word files- with the original formatting preserved- and without using a Microsoft® product!

Cross-platform file incompatibility is a familiar irritation to desktop publishers and graphic designers, who tend to be Mac enthusiasts working in a PC world. They are being joined by the increasing number of home Mac users, who receive '.doc' email attachments or download MS Word files from the Internet. Until now, viewing Word files on a Mac meant purchasing expensive software, or hoping that Word documents were saved in a format that one's installed Mac software could recognize. Converted Word files often lost their formatting, creating extra work to reformat the original text. icWord eliminates this extra work, along with the frustration and expense previously associated with working with Microsoft® Word files on a Mac.

"icWord is a simple solution to a common problem," according to Mickey Sonnenschein, Panergy's Director of Marketing. "We're excited that we can offer the worldwide Mac community a utility that is both inexpensive and so useful."

Pricing and Availability: icWord is distributed exclusively at the Web site http://www.icword.com. Single licenses are $19.95. Free 30-day trials may be downloaded at http://www.icword.com.

A propos de Panergy: Panergy is an Israel-based publisher that has been developing software for the Macintosh market since 1992. Panergy products are widely utilized throughout the desktop publishing industry in Israel. icWord introduces Panergy's technology to the worldwide market.
