| | JEP: Desktop Publishing Software |
 | | Ventura files are accepted by some service bureaus, but because it's a highly technical program, not all service bureaus have the ability to output its files. | | | It was ahead of its time when initially released in the mid-1980's; it contained many features, such as drop caps and stylesheets, that were overwhelming and confusing for early desktop publishers who at that time were still honing their basic computer skills, and were not ready for advanced features that today are commonplace. | | | Ventura can import spreadsheets or word-processing files with tables, maintaining the table structure in both cases. |

| | Ventura Publisher was the first popular desktop publishing package for IBM PC compatible computers running DOS. | | | Ventura Software Inc., an affiliated company of Xerox, was formed and version 3.0 Gold was published in 1990. | | | The application was rewritten for the Win32 platform and was released in 1996, labelled Corel Ventura 7 (instead of 6) so that it would match the version number of CorelDraw. |

| | Ventura 7 files can be rendered to HTML (the Internet's hypertext markup language) or to Java (using Corel Barista). | | | Ventura has had previous support for generating tables of contents, indexes and cross-references (something Quark still won't do) and these features have been updated as well as adding HTML links. | | | Few of the application's strengths were buttressed and a number of its faults (odd font handling and memory requirements that caused huge problems with many systems) were left uncorrected. |

| | Ventura should support the multiple document interface (MDI), enabling several files to be opened simultaneously, like Excel or WinWord; or there should be support for multiple instances. | | | Ventura Publisher for Windows is a solid, fully developed product with few remaining flaws. | | | The advanced features of Ventura 3.0 for GEM, including the professional extension (albeit with different hyphenation system), and network server are included in the Windows version. |

| | Corel Ventura 8 |
| | Xerox tried a couple of attempts to convert Ventura to the Windows environment and each new attempt seemed to alienate what had become a respectable user base. | | | Ventura was first developed by Xerox at its Palto Alto Research Centre (PARC). | | | Well, Ventura 8 allows you to create new graphics, re-colour bitmaps, convert vector drawings to bitmaps, re-edit vector drawings (either in CorelDraw or in place) and, if you're working in a group, it might be nice to be able to share the results. |

| | DTP - Four Low-priced Programs - Review - The Web Developer's Journal |
| | Ventura is not an easy program to learn and master, unless you're a CorelDraw user. | | | Ventura and Paint & Publish feature several professionally designed templates in which all you do is replace existing text and graphics with your own. | | | Historically, DTP software falls into one of two categories: Professional packages such as QuarkXPress, PageMaker, FrameMaker and Ventura, which are used by many book and magazine publishers and professional designers; and low-end programs, which are for those who create occasional publications, such as company brochures, simple fliers, and so on. |

| | Vol 10 no 12 Ventura 7:Corel Starts All Over Again |
| | Ventura was the first— and remains one of the few— desktop publishing programs with built-in support for display math equations. | | | Ventura’s drawing tools were upgraded to include those in Corel Draw 3, including polygons and Bézier curves, allowing more complex frame shapes to be drawn directly from within the program. | | | In Ventura 7, the default method of working is to paste everything into one file, discarding the notion of referencing files. |

| | Ventura Publisher must be run from the command prompt rather than MS-DOS 5.0/5.0a Shell because it requires more memory than is available when the Shell is running. | | | Ventura Publisher version 3.0 Professional Extension requires 560 kilobytes (K) of free conventional memory to run. | | | Loading MS-DOS 5.0/5.0a into the HMA with Ventura Publisher running causes erratic behavior; for example, your machine may stop responding (hang) or you may have problems printing. |

| | Corel Acquires Ventura Publisher |
| | Ventura had published other software products in its history, but it was mainly known as the first desktop publishing package for the IBM Personal Computer. | | | While Aldus's PageMaker focused on the page layout model of desktop publishing, Ventura Publisher focused on layout automation, a nod in the direction of earlier technical publishing products such as Interleaf (and later ones like Frame). | | | In a move that will clearly position Corel directly against Aldus in the marketplace, Corel has acquired the assets (but not the company, thus avoiding the debt and any legal problems) of Ventura, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox Corporation. |
