Linking and embedding video

WordPerfect lets you link or embed a video clip as an OLE object. When you link the file, you can update the video clip when the source file changes. When you embed the file, you insert a copy of it in a document. For information about updating a linked object, see “Updating links and editing OLE objects.”

The type of video formats available depends on what is registered in the Windows Registry as being OLE-compliant. Formats include Video for Windows (.avi files) and may also include QuickTime Movie and Active Movie types. For more information, see the documentation for Windows and the video application.
