Ah. Hmm, I'll have to ask my boss about that if we can do that.

That's probably going to be a lot more work for Ant.

If you just want to collect images in a document, just use TextEdit.

Isn't that same as using Word?

No, because unlike Word, TextEdit doesn't reduce the quality of images
pasted into documents.

Interesting. I assume Word kept the quality since its file sizes were 
huge and slow (scrolling). I know Word has a compress option when 
saving, but that loses quality.

Doesn't really matter when it happens. Don't use Word for this purpose.

OK, I tried the updated Mac OS X v10.10.5's TextEdit v1.10 (319). I 
screen captured, copied, and pasted into a new Rich Text document. 
Everything was fast and smooth in terms of scrolling. :)

However, my save options were limited with "Rich Text Document with 
Attachments" and "Web Archive Document" file formats. However, Word Mac 
2011 and Windows Word (2010) can't read them (e.g., *.rtfd) even on 
Macs. Am I missing something? :/

Thank you in advance. :)

Nope. If you want it to be portable to any platform, print/export it to
PDF, or better yet put it on a web page.

Bummer (yes, it needs to be portable on all platforms including edits)

One big thing you're missing is an answer to the question that's been
asked multiple times (not just by me) about what exactly you're trying
to accomplish. We can't help you find the easiest and most efficient
way of accomplishing it until you tell us who the audience is for your
photos (people who have Word but not web access? people who need a
printable document? etc.), and other details about this project.

I thought I did mention this in one of my replies earlier in this 
thread. Anyways, I need to screen capture projects' softwares in Mac OS 
X to collect and add to documents to share with others (Windows, Mac OS 
X, etc.) within the company.

What's wrong with opening TextEdit, pasting them there? TextEdit creates
RTF documents by default. All platforms can view RTF files.

True. I was assuming he wanted to collect them and add text or
something. You could do that in a simple email too.

And with Markup it is easy to make most needed edits in Mail. Of course,
Windows users have no such tool.

If you just want to share them online, why do they need to be in a 
document? Just use one of the many ways to upload and annotate images
on a web page.

Yes. And if you are really lazy, you don't even need to bother with an
HTML web page. You can simply toss the images into a directory on any
Apache web server to have them automatically show up in a list:

<http://jollyroger.kicks-ass.org/images/>

(The standard list looks much more generic, but with some HTML/CSS you
can customize the look of it as I did above.)

How about adding long texts for each image? I need that part.

Then put the images on a web page as I suggested. Why do they need to be
in a document?
