Microsoft Office shared tools

Microsoft Binder was an application originally included with Microsoft Office 95, 97 and 2000 that allowed users to include different types of OLE 2.0 objects (e.g., documents, spreadsheets and presentations) in one file. Originally a test host for OLE 2.0, it was not widely used and was discontinued after Office 2000.

The filename extension for Microsoft Binder files was .OBD; the Office Binder template format was .OBT. A Microsoft Office Binder Wizard used the extension .OBZ.

Binder files could be opened in Office versions until 2003, with the Unbind add-in installable through the Add and Remove programs menu. Office 97 Unbind is available for download from the Microsoft website.
