Ventura Publisher Publication Format | Corel | Layout Files |
The VP file extension is associated with Ventura Publisher software created by Corel Corporation, now a part of the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite family of software. The files of this type are created in and are used for the purposes of page layout. Ventura Publisher is an Desktop Publishing software application and was specifically developed for companies that needed to produce large volumes of printed materials quickly and accurately.
Characteristics
The primary characteristic of VP files is that they enable a user to maintain total control over the design and placement of all elements related to the page layout. Because Ventura Publisher provides the ability to choose fonts, sizes, styles, spacing and relative location of objects with remarkable accuracy, documents can be printed without having to modify them in a less precise graphics program.
Extension Name
The official name for VP files is Ventura Publisher Files. Also known as Ventura Document Files, they may also include Macro Instructions related to page layout or text formatting along with data related to the project being worked on. Regenerative capabilities allow VP files to span more than one document page; it also permits a single VP-formatted file to store multiple document formats simultaneously.
Similar file extensions include VPA, VPG, FPM, CGM, and others.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
