Embed a Zip File in Word?

[Amy B]

Is it possible to embed a Zip file in MS Word 2002

I know how to embed just one doc, but I'd like to include multiple docs under one icon
Doesn't have to be a Zip file, it could also be a folder hierarchy

Thanks

Hi, Amy,

Yes, you can embed a zip file in a Word document. Just drag the file's
icon from Explorer and drop it in the document.

You can't embed a folder and all its contents -- all you get is an
error message. You *can* create a hyperlink to a folder by
right-clicking the file in Explorer and dragging/dropping, then
selecting "Create hyperlink" from the popup menu. If you send this to
another PC, though, it won't be able to resolve the hyperlink.
