SYMPTOMS
When you try to play a movie in a converted Word 5.x or 6.x document in
Microsoft Word 98, you may receive the following error message:
Word Cannot Edit the Microsoft Movie.
CAUSE
You do not have the MS Movie Plug In Module (PIM) installed.
RESOLUTION
To play a movie in Word 98 from a converted Word 5.x or 6.x document, you
must have the MS Movie PIM installed. The MS Movie PIM is included in the
Value Pack and can be installed by running the Value Pack Installer. When
you install Microsoft Movie, the file "Microsoft Movie" is added to the
Microsoft Office 98:Shared Applications folder.
MORE INFORMATION
Word 98 has true built-in QuickTime movie playing capabilities, which is
different from earlier versions of Word. Earlier versions used a MS
Movie Plug In Module (PIM) to play movies.
