 Top Notch Desktop Publishing January 7, 2008

Ventura 10 continues to be the desktop publishing application of choice for desktop publishing professionals who have a choice. We find it far easier to use than the competition -- and that its features for long document publications are far more advanced than even the newest versions of the competition. One of Ventura 10's strongest points is its savvy use of style tags for characters, paragraphs, pages, and tables -- giving us incredible control over formatting and great ease in changing formatting. Frankly, Ventura 10 is one of the few applications in which I really enjoy working -- as evidenced by all the books of ours that Amazon.com sells. Ventura is one of the great productivity-enhancing applications of all time!
 Not suitable for business in the 21st century. September 2, 2007

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. It is more stable than Quark 4.0, I will give it that - but Quark last put that out in 1999. Even a modern version of MS Word can create a business report that is equal to Ventura's capabilities.
Like Corel's other offerings, many commonly used features are buried within menus. The more useful panels, which control the frames and tables, are buried in the menus, and cover a good section of the screen - and the portions of the work you are adjusting. If you need to adjust another part of the page - close the panel, and open it up again. All very tedious and time-consuming compared to other programs.
Another annoyance is the "Tags" - in every other program, style sheets. If you need to bold one word, using the standard "click the B icon" the entire tag for paragraphs gets change to reflect that one minor change. So you have to create a new paragraph or character style sheet EVERY time you want to make a minor variation to text - even to see if it "works". The other text handling features are rudimentary at best.
It really deserves one star - but since I have worked with MS Publisher (which is far worse) I have to give it two.
