Add Corel Ventura to Suite

I had to reword this question a little bit. We all would love to see more stuff added to the suite. But with that there is an additional cost to Corel. So they would no doubt charge more if Ventura was included.

For those who don't know Ventura, it is a fantastic publishing tool. Some would compare it to Quark and InDesign, but I don't think that is a good comparison as they aren't publishing tools. Ventura can do page layout, but its strength is laying out longer documents. As an example, I use it to create all of the handouts for my Boot Camps and the CorelDRAW X3 Unleashed book. It does the things some users ask for in CorelDRAW. It has linked style sheets. It numbers pages. It indexes. It creates tables of contents. It links to external images and text. In short, a great product that Corel doesn't develop or at least hasn't developed in over five years. They don't feel there is enough of a marketplace.

I do feel the same as you Dave, I have Ventura 8, but never really got into it. Draw is enough for what I do now which is 32 pages at the most. Linked styles and better support for pagination in facing view + more stable linking of images, would fullfill my needs largely.
If I got into longer docs I suppose Ventura would be my choice, but for graphics intensive page-for-page layout, I feel Draw does what I need, and rather easily too.

I'm not too well informed on Ventura either, but... isn't Ventura more like FrameMaker than InDesign and Quark? That is, for really long documents, like books.

So, whats the reason that Corel ignores it? Must be from some economical point of view. Yet if they promoted it, it would generate some cashflow, wouldn't it?
Or doesn't Corel have any expertise in the application any longer?

Lars,

Corel refuses to even discuss Ventura so none of us truly know why they ignore it. I'm sure they don't feel the sales justify the cost of development. Yet all of the users are well aware that Corel's marketing efforts have been very poor at best. They never knew how to promote the product. They never truly tried to push it to the CorelDRAW market base. This proposal was put forth over five years ago. Once again, Corel ignored it.
