Default insert video into document

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?
