[comp.text.desktop] How good a word processor is Ventura Publisher?

psrc@cbnewsl.att.com (Paul S. R. Chisholm) (01/30/91)

We may have the opportunity (?) of getting a manual either in troff or
Ventura Publisher(R) form.  I know how good vi/emacs + troff is; how
about Ventura Publisher?  From what I've heard, it's a better word
processor than most page layout ("desktop publishing") programs . . .
but that may not be saying much.  No spelling checks?  How are the
search and replace facilities?  Anything else come to mind?

(Yes, Chris, I know we just had this conversation; but I'd like the
opinion of people who use more "mainstream" word processing software
than vi.-)

I'm not speaking for the company, I'm just speaking my mind.
Ventura Publisher is a registered trademark of Ventura Software, Inc.,
a Xerox company, or something like that.
