Re: Converting Ventura files. Re: Intranets

[Katav <katav -at- YAHOO -dot- COM>]

The Ventura on my machine converts its coded files to html VERY nicely
- including graphics - but there IS one /minor/ problem. Ventura
converts frame-by-frame and then gives each converted frame a
generated [number].htm filename. If you are /frameless/ (save for
graphics), it should do a grand job ... even did a nice job on a
simple two-column table. (I was impressed, as you may surmise.)

I have FrameMaker 5.5 on order and I hope it does as well converting
files to html.

As far as Adobe Acrobat *.PDF; Corel sets up Ventura to generate a
pre-Distiller *.PRN file. How well that works with Acrobat I don't
know.

BTW, Lisa, Ventura HAS changed a lot since it was VP.
