Do the contact sheet and then under Printer select Microsoft Print to PDF.

Bring in the contact sheet pdf into photoshop elements and it should have a transparent background.

 

Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to draw a selection around one of the images, press the Ctrl key and move the image to align with another. Use the Arrow keys to Nudge. Repeat for each image till they are lined up.

 

The selection you make around each image doesn't have fit exactly since when you press the Ctrl key and move, the selection will shrink around the image.

If your using photoshop elements on the Windows side, Contact Sheets are made from within the photoshop elements Organizer.
