Stamp Page Design Software

apastuszak ... I like your layout although I agree with a previous poster about keeping the text block the same width dimension as the stamp block. Maybe move everything up a tad. We're it mine, I think I would have subtext under USofA reading something like "Stamps of 2012."

Still tinkering. I appreciate all the feedback. The hive mind will make a nice looking page when it's all done.

My 2¢.

I like the caption slightly wider than the frame. Makes the layout look less blocky.

Without knowing anything about the 2012 issues... is there another with a vertical layout similar to the Bonsai? Two of those would look nice on a page together, and would remove the biggest obstacle to that page.

They would, but then the stamps wouldn't be in order of issue on the pages. I can see why album makers don't do order of issue in their layouts.

I agree with you on the description being wider. I think it looks better wider or narrower than the stamp picture.

Looking at White Ace's pages, when a stamp is taller than it is wide, they put the description on the SIDE of the stamp box instead of under it. I might give that a try and see how it looks.

Sounds like another option for version 2.0.

And Microsoft Pulisher is giving me grief with embedding fonts in pdf files.

Wow Postmaster! I use Publisher - how can I test your great program?

apastuszak,

I've fought that fight before. What process are you using save the pages to PDF? I eventually stumbled onto a solution, but I don't recall the exact fix off the top of my head.

BeeSee,

Do you have Access 2010 and Publisher 2010?

I do Postmaster! I do some Access VBA programing also.

32-bit or 64-bit?

apastuszak discovered that it doesn't work with 64-bit. It's fixable, but I'm without computer access for a few months.

I am 32 bit at home.

32-bit is better. Microsoft Consulting came into our company to help set up our new Windows 7 image. They recommended Windows 7 64-bit with 32-bit Office 2010 because of the amount of compatibility issues. Most Office 3rd party Office addons won't work in 64-bit Office.

I have some v. 1.1 features to request! :-)

Shoot 'em to me. Even though I'm without my personal computer for a few months, I'm holding out hope that when I get to my new job next week my work computer will have Access/Publisher.

Relative paths for image locations, so I can use this off a thumb drive between different computers. I guess you could embed the image inside of access as a binary blob, but then the file would grow really big really fast.
