RE: Importing Ventura files

Hello Lutz, If you have one of the latest Corel Ventura versions, preferably 10.0, then you can write a script using CorelSCRIPT to export all content to MIF. This is not a trivial task, but it can be done. CorelSCRIPT is a rather complete scripting language that resemble the BASIC language.

Re: Importing Ventura files

What version of Ventura are you trying to import from? Do you have a copy of Ventura so that you can export the files to other formats? I don't know if Corel changed the model, but Ventura 3 used source files that were in the formats of various other applications, such as Word or Wordstar.

Hi Deirdre, Please correct me, if I'm wrong. Your markers appear in front of the chapter titles but not in the TOC, don't they? When a TOC has hyperlinks to headings, hyperlink markers are created only in the TOC. Therefore the markers in front of the chapter titles must be something different.
