Can you put a video in a word document without converting it to a PDF?
You can put a video into a Word document but there is no way to get it play unless you get technical. I only embed a video into a word document to eventually convert it to PDF. This way you just have to open the PDF file and press on the play button. That's how simple it is. The other option is to see How to embed a Youtube video into a PowerPoint Presentation or Embed Youtube video into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation CD. They are both different articles because the first allows you to watch the Youtube video only if you have an internet connection and the second allows you to do it without.
Why would you want to put a video into a Word document?
There are so many reasons why you would want to put a video into a Word document, and the main one is because your participating in an IT course that requires you to do so. Although it might require you to embed a video into a PowerPoint presentation, knowing how to do in in Word can also be an advantage. My sole purpose of putting video into a word document is to then finally convert the document to a PDF E-book. |
How to embed a video into a Word 2007 document? In Word 2007, if you go to embed a video into a document this message will appear below. So therefore you must save the document before proceeding.
If you have a video on your computer then you can use this. However if you do not have a video on your computer you can download something from Youtube. See Download and convert Youtube videos to your computer to save. Obviously you can also use your video camera to record any video footage and download that to your computer to use also.
If you have both Microsoft word 2007 and Acrobat reader professional installed they will automatically integrate.
The menu above will appear. Choose Save As.
Then choose Adobe PDF.
Obviously the PDF file will be a lot bigger if you add a video to it. For a quick example, I had a 4mb PDF E-book and added one small, under 10 minute video to it. The Pdf file ended up being 21.3MB. That's only adding one video. Of course there is a time and place to add video to a pdf file. If you want to email a video it would be better if it was not package into a PDF, but standalone, and compressed to a smaller video format.
To see the size of your PDF file simply go to the folder where it is stored and put your mouse over it. The details will appear in a box.
