Can somebody tell me if it is possible to embed a special XML file or<br />
for that matter, any file into a Word 2007 Docx zip file structure? &nbsp;I<br />
would like to be able to store some data elements in the Word docx<br />
file, that is not viewable when the document is opened in Word but can<br />
be read by a java program at a later time. &nbsp;I have tried adding files<br />
of various types in the structure but Word always chocks on it when I<br />
try to open the file.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Embedding data in a Word 2007 Docx file

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
