Hi All -

I'd like to add the folder Microsoft Office 2011 (containing Word, PP, Excel, & Outook) to my dock but can only add the individual apps.

Is there a way to add the folder?

Thanks!

Richard

Actually there is a way. Create a folder from your Finder and name it "MS Office". Now drag the folder to the right side of the Dock separator line and drop it there. Next step:

Open your Applications folder. Right click on Word and select "make alias". Now drag the alias into the folder you created and placed on the Dock. Do the same for Excel, and Powerpoint. Next step:

Go to the folder you created with the aliases, right click on it, select "Name", "Folder" and "Grid". Now when you click on the MS Office folder it will open with three icons showing: One for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. You can select any of the three to open its application.
