Ventura Publisher was a desktop publication software package original built on the GEM VDI Metafile system by Digital Research. Distributed by Xerox until bought by Corel in 1993.
File Identification
Ventura Publisher versions 3-5 save its documents to the .CHP (Chapters) format, but also uses the following components:
| Document File | Extension |
|---|---|
| Captions | CAP |
| Chapters | CHP |
| Chapter information | CIF |
| Frame tags file | FRM |
| Generated text | GEN |
| Graphics | VGR |
| HPGL converter settings | PRF |
| OLE object file | VPO |
| Publications | PUB |
| Style sheets | STY |
| Width tables | WID |
Versions 7-10 use .VP 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.[1]
