Editorial Review:This version of Corel's heavyweight desktop publishing program boosts its usefulness as a Web tool and further improves large-document handling. Corel describes Ventura 10 as "intelligent publishing for business," and for once the catch phrase is close to the truth. Ventura has been with Corel for five years, and during this time the company has molded the program into one of the key members of its professional graphics lineup. Ventura has always been an excellent vehicle for designing large documents. If you have a book or lengthy report to produce, there's little that can compare with the document management provided by this program. More recently, though, Corel has added several ease-of-use features and improved graphics support by borrowing elements from CorelDRAW and Corel Photo-Paint. It has become an excellent general-purpose DTP program, aimed at business users. Ventura 10 adds three key new features: XML import, table tags, and the ability to publish directly to PDF files. XML is rapidly becoming a de facto standard for text documents and this enhancement makes Ventura even more useful for creating pages intended for the Web. Table tags work similarly to Ventura's paragraph tags, the program's way of handling styles. The new feature enables you to save the style of an entire table and apply it directly to other tables in the same or other documents. This can save a lot of time and help maintain a unified corporate style. Ventura 10's ability to directly create Acrobat PDF files improves its ability to produce Internet documents quickly and easily. Among other new features and enhancements are 100 new effects you can apply directly to bitmap images, without using separate photo-enhancement software. There's a brand-new preflight engine, too, to reveal any problems with a document before it reaches printed proofs. A new wizard to help prepare for printing at a professional print shop works well with the preflight engine to prevent unexpected surprises. The program is designed for Windows 2000 and XP only and comes with Database Publisher, the screen-capture utility Corel Capture, and a bar code tool. Over 1,500 TrueType and Type 1 fonts are bundled into the package. --Simon Williams, Amazon.co.uk
Corel Ventura 10 turns lengthy or complex files, including XML files, into highly formatted and visually rich documents. Enhanced stability and compatibility keep your workflow smooth, while powerful formatting tools help ensure polished documents. Update multiple tables quickly with new table tags. Enjoy more flexibility with support for XML import, and improved PDF and printing options. Work with documents from virtually any source, including WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW. Distribute documents with complete visual integrity via print, the Web, or mobile devices with small file sizes and fast rendering times. Save valuable time by formatting and updating multiple tables at once. Enhanced color management helps you find all your essential color management options in one dialog box. In addition, the new preflight engine sends you preflight warnings that advise you of potential errors. Corel Ventura 10 is an ideal application for combining and transforming your organization's information and data into highly manageable, structured documents.

- Not suitable for a 21st century business

Once a worthy page layout program, it was abandoned by its makers in 2002 and support for it is negligible at best. I have yet to find a third-party support book for Version 10. I would emphasize right HERE that this program is NOT for novices nor BUSINESSES!

True, all of the 'features' may have cost $10,000 extra for Quark Express - in 1998 - but today these features (and many, many others) are standard in both Quark Express and InDesign, which are both widely used and supported. ... Read More

- Stable Desktop Publishing Powerhouse
Ventura has always offered more features per dollar than its rival desktop publishing programs (some experts who use them all estimate it would cost $10,000 in add-ins for Quark Express to have all the features included with Ventura). I've tried some of the others, but none really can match the ease of use and power of Ventura 8, and now Ventura 10. Ventura is simply the best for publishing books, newsletters, magazines, brochures, flyers, and catalogs.New to Version 10 is a great "Publish to ... Read More
