Using cropping in Word

[inquirer300]

When using the Picture toolbar and the crop function in Word (Word 2002 SP3),
what is the most practical way to decrease the coarseness of the cropping of
an image?

Previously, I was using the freeware 20/20 image editing program to
rubberband an image with the mouse and could easily paste it into a Word or
PowerPoint file using Windows XP Professional 32-bit at my workplace. We've
gone to XP 64-bit and the 20/20 image editing program doesn't work. Does
someone know of a licensed image editor that is compatible with XP 64-bit if
no other method is practical through cropping or any other method? (The
company I work for is not comfortable with freeware and would rather use a
licensed alternative.)

I highly recommend Snagit (http://www.techsmith.com). There's a free
trial download, so you can confirm that it works in your environment
(I can confirm that it works perfectly in Windows 7 64-bit, but I
never had XP 64-bit).
