I used the organizer briefly. Actually I think you work from the organizer-select your items and then there should be a pull down menu or right click for an option to open them in the editor. I haven't used the organizer with version 5. In PSE 4 my scrapbooking collection was so large the organizer got slower and slower on performance so I didn'tcarry it over to version 5. Basically you use the organizer for search purposes once you have tagged the different items. I usually just use the windows folders view and navigate to the folder I want, make my selctions and drag them into the editor.
