My previous post involved OOo 3.3 under Mac 10.4.11. Now I find I
can't even insert a QT mov file in a Write doc under 10.5.8 (just get
a question mark frame), much less embed it. However NeoOffice 3.1.2
does insert QT mov files into Writer under 10.5.8 but like OOo
doesn't embed and keep mov files. Looks like I'll have to retrogress
to a much earlier OOo to do the job it once did.

I'm trying to embed a QuickTime movie file into a Write document,

menu to reach Link and break the link there doesn't work because
Link is not active. Saving the file only results in a small-sized
document with a "?" in place of the video file in the document. So
how can I "break" a link to a QT mov file that I just inserted so
it'll stay embedded (portable self-contained) when the Link menu
item isn't highlighted for me to do such?
Thanks for any hints!
I find this true on my MacBook running Leopard. It leaves a question
marked shaded screen when you attempt to paste a video file in. It
also happens when you load an old doc with a video insert which was
created and played perfectly well in Tiger and Panther. Even MS Office
eats it up. This is definitely a OOO 3.0 bug. Bummer multimedia.
For Mac users, SOUND and MOVIE Help states that these formats aren't
available on some operating systems. All these features work under XP
and Vista and 7 and Linux, but MacOS always lacked support for
self-contained multimedia documents. Hope this helps.
