Select "Help Multimedia" from the Insert menu. You can stick a
multimedia file anywhere in your help project, just like graphic files.
Wait. After rereading what you asked, I'm not sure if I answered the
question -- insert the .AVI file "in" the help topic... hmm...do you
mean so that when the user selects a topic, the .AVI file is activated?
In that case you probably do need a macro (I have no idea which one
tho'). I bet you could insert it by clicking on the Advanced button in
the Edit Topic dialog box.
