 Desktop Publishing for the More Advanced   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Ventura Publisher has been around for a long time, more than 10 years, and has had several owners.  Through its long life, it has developed and maintained a faithful following of users who have stayed with the program through thick and thin.
Ventura Publisher doesn’t try to be as ambitious and is targeted toward an environment where one person at any given time works on the entire document.

 Ventura or PageMaker?
Ventura paid little attention to the set-up and has always balked when Setup specifies portrait printing and the Page Setup dialog box specifies landscape printing.
Ventura Publisher has one distinct advantage, however, that overcomes all the disadvantages: While PageMaker combines all the data necessary to generate a document into a single file, Ventura Publisher maintains all of its files separate from one another.
In my experiment wit formating books, I saved time in Ventura Publisher by making a master disk with copies of all the style sheet and chapter files and then using a different text file for each booklet.

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.

 PC Pro: Analysis: Real World Computing: A brief history of DTP
In 1987, PageMaker faced competition on the Mac itself from Tim Gill's QuarkXPress, and by the late 1980s all three of the pioneering DTP giants were fighting for dominance.
Unfortunately, Ventura Publisher was too far ahead of its time - nowadays, XML and CSS fully exploit the benefit of separating style from content, but back then many people found it more trouble than it was worth, making file housekeeping and formatting unnecessarily complex.
The real problem, though, was Ventura's reliance on GEM, which Xerox recognised when it took over development in 1990 and rewrote version 3 for Windows, Mac and OS/2.
