Like many others I looked at In Design but it is really overkill.  I
use Pagemaker for producing Stamp Albums for my collection and I have
a workaround for now.  I have an older computer with WindowsXP so I
installed Pagemaker there and I use it by remote communication from my
Vista computer. It works great but I have to fool with printer
connections etc.  I also have Virtual PC installed on my Vista
Computer with Pagemaker running in Windows 2000.  Problem here is that
I cannot get my virtual PC to communicate with the Printer.  I think
it was a crappy move by Adobe to abandon an application just because
it was older and especially since it doesn't work in the latest
greatest from Microsoft.
