embedded media files

[David Emerling]

I have created a document that has media clips (.avi files) embedded in it.

I assumed that when I saved the document that the media files would be
merged within the document. That was not the case. The separate .avi files
apparently must remain separate and available to the document in order to
function.

Is there anyway I can save this as a .doc file and have all those .avi files
"inside" the document?

If not, do I have to include all those individual video clips with the main
document when sending this to somebody?

Thanks!
