Multiple screenshots on a single A4 sheet?

Solved

Hello everyone,

I have quite a few screenshots from my computer (already cropped to only keep the document in the center) to print
(18 in total)

- I wonder if by any chance it is possible to create documents on which I could place, for example, 4 or 6 of my screenshots, on a single A4 sheet,

to limit paper usage?

I don't know how to place multiple items on a .doc document
so I was considering creating a montage with PhotoFiltre, but since it would be a .jpg format, I don't know if the things will be readable?

If you have a tip for either of these things, I would be grateful
:-)

Thank you all

    And why don't you explain to us what prevents you from putting multiple screenshots on one sheet? What happens when you try to do it? But first, how do you go about it?

      Hello Raymond,

      Well, I made it, somehow!
      First, I inserted my images without a table (the boxes made it even more complicated).

      The only difficulty I encountered in my Word document was the inability to arrange the images in the order I wanted. It was impossible, for example, to swap two images with each other, and even though I had the cursor at a certain spot on the page, I couldn't move it to place an image there (despite pressing space, enter, or the up and right arrow keys).

      But maybe it's just not possible.

      Anyway, in the end, I still have 2 documents with 6 images each, and I will do the same for my 3rd one. The images aren't in the desired order, but at least I'm making a huge paper saving.

      Thank you :-)

      Send your file specifying the order you want for the photos. 
       1) Go to https://www.cjoint.com/ 
       2) Click on [Browse] to select your file (15 MB max)
       3) Scroll down to click on the blue button [Create the Cjoint link] 
       4) After a few seconds, the second page appears, showing the link in bold; right-click on it and choose "Copy link"
       5) Return to your discussion on CCM, and in your message, click "Paste".

      However, I have two small questions:

      One point worries me a little, I thought this service was strictly confidential.
      It's about the distribution.
      Can I be sure that if I click "private" nothing from my document will be published?

      And can the new document be saved on my computer?

      I tested it
      And I received the new file at my email address

      But at no point could I choose an order for my images
      So I received images placed in the same order as the original document,
      but worse (there are spaces between the images, which gives 2 pages instead of 1 for my original document)

      But it’s really not a big deal
      My documents are fine as they are
      It’s not a problem if the dates are not respected
      If I can’t find a solution, my documents will be printed out of order

    In any word processing program, you create a table with 4 or 6 cells and paste your images inside.
    Where is the difficulty?

      Thank you for your response

      The difficulty is that I have 18 computer screenshots to place, and 9 mobile phone screenshots

      With the cell solution, small cells would be needed so as not to have too many pages, and I don't know if the writings will be readable
