Default insert video into document

I use this method to send DVD material to my daughter, who does not have
broadband ... yet. Four days by post to send it half way round the world is
probably quicker than she could download it - and is certainly cheaper as I
have to pay for the stamp and disc

You really don't want to be sending video clips by e-mail!

Use Messenger to transfer video material - the file sizes can be
huge! You can insert a link to a video clip in a document as an object -
and the file can be as large as you like - eg a full DVD video - but
you would have to send the source file also and that would jam the
recipeints e-mail system forever.
I can just imagine someone trying to download such a file on a dial
up system

Word is not a video player, so clicking the link icon will open the
default player for the file type (if present on the recipients PC)
after a rash of security warnings.

I urge you to think again!

If you need to exchange video material on a regular basis, you might
think about using some specialised software - such as TribalWeb

I know a little about WORD 2002. I have learned how to insert a
picture into document and send to a recipient.

My current question:

Is it possible to do the same with inserting video from Clip
Organizer into document just like i did with picture? In this case,
what is the maximum for the video clip?
