This is a Compact Disk that gives you the ability to create a gorgeous 291-page album in which you can mount your stamps from FRENCH POLYNESIA. The album's pages are designed to house all of the major stamps issued by French Polynesia from 1892 to the present, including virtually all of the minor varieties listed by Scott. Album pages are also included for stamps issued under the name of Tahiti from 1882 to 1915.

We provide continuing support for the album by sending all corrections and some upgrades free of charge via email.

This album package gives you TOTAL FLEXIBILITY to design your own album. Best of all, you don't have to learn how to use a new software package. If you own and know how to use Microsoft Word, you have everything you need.

And you don't have to guess about the size of the stamps you don't own! The stamp sizes in this album are based either on precise measurements from the actual stamps or from careful research.

The CD includes the pages in two formats. For collectors who want to modify and design new pages, the pages are provided as Microsoft Word documents. For collectors who don't care to design new pages and/or don't own Microsoft Word, the pages are provided in PDF format.

The sizes of the spaces set aside for each stamp and souvenir sheet have been designed to accommodate standard-size mounts (Showgard, etc.). Consequently, you can use the box sizes to select the proper size mount for the stamp or sheet.

In the interest of economy, the computer files provided are designed to create beautiful albums using off-the-shelf materials for binders and pages. The CD contains the pages in PDF format that can be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper. In addition to the pages, the album includes an attractive cover and spine that can be used for a standard three-ring binder with clear plastic covers. The "Specialist Collector's How-to Guide for Stamp Album Design" supplied on the CD even tells you how to recycle the stamp mounts from your current album.

The Microsoft Word files use straightforward features that require a minimal knowledge of the word processor's commands. A carefully documented how-to guide is provided for the specialist interested in creating new pages and/or modifying the existing pages. Working with the Microsoft Word files, all of the text can be easily modified, stamp sizes can be modified and you can add catalogue numbers from Scott or any other stamp numbering system.

This is one of a series of albums we are designing to cover all of the Pacific islands that comprise Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia.
