Microsoft Binder (binder.exe) was discontinued and is only available in Microsoft Office 95, Microsoft Office
97, and Microsoft Office 2000, however, an unbind tool is available for Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft
Office 2003. Microsoft Unbind (unbind.exe) will extract any Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
PowerPoint, Microsoft Project, or Microsoft Visio document contained within and place the extracted documents
in a folder selected by the user. You can then continue using your original documents in any way you see fit.
If you wish to use Microsoft Binder to create Binder files, you will need to purchase and install Microsoft
Office 97 or Microsoft Office 2000.
Although Microsoft Office 95 does have Microsoft Binder, the Microsoft Office 97/2000/XP/2003 file format is
very different from Microsoft Office 95. In other words, you will not be able to open any Microsoft Office
97/2000/XP/2003 file in Microsoft Office 95 without converting it first. Either way, you will loose features
introduced in Microsoft Office 97 and later versions.

Before XP, Office had a Binder tool that was pretty helpful when working on a
project that used documents created by excel, word, publisher, etc.
I could just open the binder instead of each document individually in the
file.
Is there another way of doing this now that there is not Binder tool?
