I used to have one to resize to a specific size - would be easy to modify to
make it a percentage.

Easily resized via Preview|Tools.

Is there a way to resize in memory without saving as files? Like always 
set 50% of the screen captures I take? I usually screen capture and then 
paste directly into Word 2011 documents.

Nope. You'll have to take a screen shot to a file and resize it. Again,
this can easily be automated with tools built into OS X. 

BTW, I'm not sure what your reasoning is behind pasting graphics into
Word documents; but you should know you may very well be making life
harder than need be for whoever you happen to be sending these Word
files to. Word screws up images pasted into Word documents such that it
is often impossible to get anything but a low-resolution copy of the
image out of the document, which can be especially bad if there is text
or other fine details in the image that someone needs to be able to read
easily. I hope you aren't using Word needlessly for this purpose.

Good point. For some of my classes I have students send me screenshots...
and some INSIST on doing it in a Word document no matter how much I tell
them not to.

Interesting. What's the best way to collect screen shots in a document 
file to share with others (Windows and Mac users)? Basically, I screen 
capture into a document with texts for each image online. :)

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.

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.

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) 
and thanks. :(

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.
