How to Embed YouTube Into a Word Document

1. Open Microsoft PowerPoint. Create two blank slides that do not have boxes within them. To create two new blank slides, under the Home tab, click 'New Slide' and then select the blank slide twice. Open your web browser to go to YouTube. Search for your desired video and then click on it. Copy its URL. Click the 'Developer' tab on the top of your screen in PowerPoint. If you don't see the tab, click the 'Office' button at the upper left side of your screen. A window will appear. At the lower right side of the window, click 'PowerPoint Options.' Under the 'Popular' tab, click the 'Show Developer Tab In the Ribbon' and then click 'OK.'
2. Click 'More Controls' under the Developer tab. Click the 'Shockwave Flash Object' and click 'OK.' Once you're done, click the second slide to draw the 'Shockwave Flash Object' inside the blank slide by holding down your mouse from the top edge of the slide and dragging it across the slide until you see a dotted outline of a box covering the whole slide (see Resources). A big X should appear in the slide. Once that is done, click 'Properties' under the Developer tab. A box will appear.
3. Scroll down until you see Movies and paste the YouTube video's URL in the space provided on the right side of Movies. Once you paste the URL, you will need to change its URL format. To change the URL, delete the 'watch?' within the URL and then change the '=' sign to a '/'. Close Properties.
4. Take a screen shot of the video by selecting the second slide with the big X in the middle and, then at the bottom right of your screen, click the little icon to run the video in the slide. The icon looks like a slide presentation stand. Once you see a image of the video, click 'Esc.' The video's image will appear on the slide. Right click the slide to save a copy of the video image under Pictures as a screen shot.
5. Select the first slide and then click the 'Insert' tab to insert the picture screen shot. Click the 'Animation' tab to deselect the box for One Mouse Click and then click the box for 'Automatically After' with zero as the seconds. Save your PowerPoint presentation by clicking the 'Office' button at the upper left side of your screen and then close the application.
6. Launch Microsoft Word. Click the 'Insert' tab and then click 'Object.' Under Object, click 'Create From File' and then click the 'Browse' button. Select the document you just created in PowerPoint and then click 'Insert' and then 'OK.' Resize PowerPoint as desired. If you want the document to flow better with the video, under the Page Layout tab, click the 'Text Wrapping' drop-down tool to change text wrapping. To play the video, double-click the inserted presentation. Save the document.
