Yes, the avi files play just fine in media player. What I am trying to do is
to insert the avi files into a word doc so I can distribute them in a
viewable form on a cd to my fellow travelers on a recent trip. That is when I
get the decompressor missing message. Any hints for that project?

Can you play this avi file in Media Player? If not, you need to install the
correct codec for the format of the AVI file.

insert it (using "object") I get the message on the box that says:
"Vido not available, cannot find "vids.mjpg decompressor"
What is it that I am missing and where do I find it so I can put
video clips in a word document?
Thank you. Ellen
