SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to play a movie file inserted in a Microsoft Publisher Web publication, the movie file may not be played and you may be prompted to save the movie file to your hard disk.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Publisher creates a hyperlink HTML tag instead of an embedding tag to reference movie files in Web pages.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft Technical Support does not resolve problems produced by editing the HTML that Publisher generates. This HTML code sample is provided as a convenience for authors seeking to extend the capabilities of Publisher.
