I have about 20 Word documents on my wife's pc that have 30 second video clips embedded in the document. When she goes to play them, I have no problems. They play inside of the document with no problem. However, when I put these documents onto her SD card and she opens them on her HP Ipaq 5455, the document (and it's text) is there, but the video icon is not there to play.

In order to play the video, she has to load the video separate from the document and then my wife has to read the abstract of the article, then close the document, then open the video separtely from a different folder. The videos are .wmv and .avi. She plays them using Windows Media Player 9 or TCPMP.

Is there a way for her to play the video from inside of the Word document on her handheld, like on her regular pc?

Thanks!

I don't think so. To the best of my knowledge, Pocket Word does not support "embedded objects"; certainly Pocket Word in Pocket PC 2002/2003 does not.

You can try an alternative word processor, like TextMaker, but I don't think it'll work either. WM5's Word Mobile is significantly better, but I doubt it has video support either (although I'd be happy to be wrong).
