Adding a movie to a document

You can import, insert, or paste a movie into any document type (except
communications) and into a multimedia field in a database document. See
“Importing and exporting documents” on page 2-15 for more information.

Movies appear in the document as a picture with a control badge in the
lower-left corner.

Note

In a word processing document, the QuickTime movie control bar is

not available when the movie has been inserted or pasted as an inline object
in text. To play a movie inserted this way, double-click the movie frame. To
stop the movie, single-click the movie frame. To make the movie control bar
available in a word processing document, insert the movie as an object
(select the arrow pointer, and choose Insert from the File menu).

Playing a movie

QuickTime and AVI movies behave differently. When you click a badge on
a QuickTime movie, you see a control bar with standard VCR controls.
When you click a badge on an AVI movie, the movie plays.

A movie control bar appears on QuickTime movies.
