How to attach a file in word document

When you send a video file as an attachment in a secure network like a company environment it will be blocked by the Email server as it might harm the computer. But some time when we need to send a video in the secured Email server and it is possible using a small trick.

Attach the video files in a word document and then attach the word document in Email and send the document. Many of the servers will not read the attached embedded file.

In Microsoft word there is an option to include any files as an object in the word document. Open a word document in which you want to attach the video files. You can attach multiple files in a document.
Once the word document is opened select Insert tab and you can see the Object button. Check the below image
