I seem to have a problem combining 2 contiguous pictures in the Timeline or
Storybook. Does anyone have the secret to doing this? I used help, but help
gave directions I followed but I could not get the combine feature to
highlight.

=================================
The freeware Irfanview can combine the two
into one (horizontally or vertically)...and then
you can import the new combined version into
moviemaker.

Download IrfanView
http://www.tucows.com/preview/194967.html
(get the plug-ins too)

Open IrfanView and go to...Image / Create
Panorama Image...you will see a screen that
allows you to choose the pictures. When you
have you panorama created...just go to....File /
Save As and you can save the file as a new
picture (be sure to give it a new name so it
doesn't overwrite anything.)

If these are a series of overlapping images...
MS Digital Image Suite has a Panorama
tool that will stitch them together as a
continuous single image.

Microsoft Digital Image Starter Edition 2006
is a downloadable 60 day trial version with
much of the functionality of MS Digital Image
Suite 2006.

Once your 60 day trial period has ended, the
program will de-feature to minimal functionality.

Unlike the retail version...the trial does not
have the ability to create VCDs and does
not support RAW files.

Be aware that it's a 109 MB download....
