"I would like to compile several images in the editor before sending them to Word or email. My goal is to re-arrange the images, which are not always taken in the correct order, and manipulate them." Combining images in Snagit will solve Martin's issue and it's incredibly easy to do. After capturing the images you need and editing them to your liking, you can open a new blank canvas in the Snagit Editor, then simply drag-and-drop your images onto that new canvas. From there, you can position and resize images however you'd like. Then save your new Snagit project and send it straight to Word, your email, or print it on the spot.
