on the lookout for outlook help

I'm having trouble embedding a link in a picture and emailing it from Outlook. Can anyone help me?
I've tried several html codes that I've found, but I can't seem to get any to work. I want to send a picture in the body of an email that links to specific Youtube video. I'd prefer to email the video, but that doesn't seem possible. Please advise.

Response by poster: I'm not sure if I understand. I just copied and pasted the picture into the body of an email, selected the picture, tried CTRL+K and nothing happened...

Best answer: The simplest thing would be:
1. Copy and paste the picture into the body of the e mail
2. left-click on it once.
3. right-click on it.
4. choose "Hyperlink"
5. paste address of the youtube video
6. click OK.
That should work. You can also d/l the video in Firefox and then send it, but that's less simple.
