Default vids:mjpg decompressor in word

I am trying to insert a video clip (.avi file) into word. when I 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

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.

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?

I am trying to work in Word - will a work around for Power Point work for a
Word project? I am creating a cd of short travel videos to distribute to my
fellow travelers and all have Word but not all have Power Point. I can't tell
from the website if the fixes will work for a Word project. Thank you. Ellen

I don't think Word would be at all suited to this. What you need is a tool
to make videos that will play from CD/DVD Unless you want to buy some
specialised software, Windows Movie Maker would be a good start. There are
lots of groups concerned with the creation of video material that would be
of more help than this one.
