Microsoft Binder was a companion application with Office 95, 97, and 2000 which allowed multiple objects into a single file.[1][2]

Office XP and 2003 also supported the format, but only through an UNBIND.EXE application to save out the individual objects/components.[3]

[edit] File Information

OBD files are in the OLE2 Microsoft Compound File format. OBT are template files.

All Binder files have a file "Binder" within the container, but in Office 97 and 2000, an additional "HdrFtr" file was added.

OBZ files are template files but with included macros.
