I use Corel Ventura 10, which has special features that make it good for 
producing larger documents like manuals and books. I have had access over 
the years to several desktop publishing and word processors, but Ventura is 
my favorite. Does TOC and Index and Cross Referencing. Has excellent control 
over style sheets and the like. They also have a database publisher program 
that converts raw database info into a Ventura file for publication.
