[edit] File Identification
Ventura Publisher versions 1-5 save its documents to the .CHP (Chapters) format, but also uses the following components[1][2]:
| Document File | Extension | PRONOM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Captions | CAP | ||
| Chapters | CHP | Points to Text and Graphics | |
| Chapter information | CIF | ||
| Frame tags file | FRM | ||
| Generated text | GEN | x-fmt/156 | |
| Graphics | VGR | Created when graphics are created within Ventura | |
| HPGL converter settings | PRF | ||
| OLE object file | VPO | ||
| Publications | PUB | Groups Chapter files into Publication | |
| Style sheets | STY | ||
| Width tables | WID | ||
| GEM Line-art | GEM | fmt/542 | Generated when other formats are imported[3] |
| GEM Image | IMG | x-fmt/159 | Generated when other formats are imported |
Version 5 was redeveloped for Windows and included OLE support. Therefore .CHP, .STY, and .PUB formats changed to OLE containers.[4]
Versions 7-10 use a single .VP file to store the full publication including stylesheets and chapters. .VP is based on the Microsoft Compound File format.
Corel VENTURA versions 3 to 5 save stylesheets externally with the filename extension STY. Versions later than version 5 save the stylesheet as part of the publication file. If you are importing tags from version 3 to version 5 publications, open the stylesheet file. If you are importing tags from a version later than version 5, open the publication file. Frame tags in versions 4 and 5 publications are stored in a chapter file with the filename extension CHP.[5]
