Photomerge Panorama in Elements 14

I use PE 14 and when I try to create a panorama using photomerge in Guided edit mode, I keep getting the message "Documents must be saved before they can be merged"  Save where?  I open the photos I want to merge, they show up in the photo bin, I select them (CTRL + Enter), but when I hit the "create panorama" button, I just get the same message above and won't let me go any further.  Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?..

    This was a known issue in PSE14. The message appeared when an image in portrait mode was recorded as if it had been taken in usual landscape mode: pixels lines along the long edge and the orientation of the picture just indicated by an exif tag.

    The workaround was to resave the image to a new file so that the pixels lines were along the short edge.

    That bug has been corrected in newer PSE versions. There were other bugs for panoramas in PSE14...

      Can anyone tell me exactly what this means? "The workaround was to resave the image to a new file so that the pixels lines were along the short edge. "

      Thanks,

      Jay
