Video in Word

[Meep]

Hi,

I want to embed a videofile into Word so that it is contained within
the docx-file. Preferably avi.

The problem with just "Insert->Object->Create from file" is that it
creates an OLE embedded object. I need to do this by editing the xml
code in the docx file manually and I have no idea how to create a OLE
embedded object from my avi file. I would really like to use mye avi
file as it is, put it into the package media folder inside the docx
file and link to it.

I've also tried using the Media Player plugin, but I can't make it
word with docx internal files.

Hope someone can help me!

Hello Meep

I can't help but wonder why people want to use Word as a wrapper for all
sorts of things. What's your goal by this?

I'm not sure this is easily possible. Your best bet is to try one of the
office developer newsgroups or forums. I see a similar discussion here:

Because customers want this feature... Thank you for your answer,
we've put this on ice for now.

customers want (and marketing sells) a great many silly things.
Sometimes you have to talk sense into them ... ;-)
