 * I’m entering the short code in the HTML editor and have disabled RTE. The text
   as I typed it appears in the preview page.
 * Do I need to download a plug in?
 * THANK YOU!

 * If you’re entering shortcode, you’ll need a plugin.
 * Vimeo should cleanly embed by just pasting the URL (without shortcode) as detailed
   in this article: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds](http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds)

 * Thank you James! I ended up upgrading to the latest version and using the viper
   videotags plug in and it worked perfectly. thanks again for your help.
