azinoh, I haven't thought about stamp collecting for 50 years, but I'm sure you too remember a little about it. Collectors generally placed their stamps in locations representing the stamps in printed books/binders. I had never heard of Linns either although when young I actually subscribed to a similar weekly newsletter. Anyway it looks like in the modern world, one could print their own 'stamp album' perhaps updating the needed pages yearly or perhaps specifically labeling the acquired stamps only in a notated binder(losing the depressed feeling of having mostly empty or sparsely filled pages). Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't know why one couldn't use microsoft units, but obviously it would be nice to be able to use free programs as well.

Hi Snidely. In fact, other apps open with no problem. It did no come to my mind, that this indicates OS is not rather the cause. Today ,still searching for an answer I found, right- clicking ' Mswkscal.wcd ' that the files is open with Internet Explorer,what astonished me, as the file extension 'wcd' opens with Microsoft Works by default.. accordingly I am trying to change file association with right program. I keep selecting Microsoft Works with no awaited result. It can be change to any program but Microsoft Works. I know,I got obsessive. Must stop it. thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Regards. Hala.

It is now being referred to as Libre office, this article touches on both the xmarks closing and the open office revolt Xmarks Sync Shuts Down, OpenOffice Revolt I am hoping that xmarks does release their code for open source(they are considering it) so that someone out there can jump in and create another great option based on their code.

Try installing LibreOffice instead. It's similar to MS Office 2003 with drop-down menus and toolbars you can customize. Seems that the developers of OpenOffice moved over to Libre as OpenOffice was no longer updating their software. I and many others like the fact we can open MS documents, work on them and save them in MS format. Also a cinch to save in PDF format. Try it. Think you'll like it and it's free.
