is there zip functionality in Word?
A Word 2007 document (extension docx) is essentially a zip file. That is, if
you change the docx into zip, you can open the archive and find a bundle of
mostly xml files in it. As you can insert an object/file inside a Word
document, Word has to have zip capabilities to store the file inside the
archive.
You can test this yourself by creating an empty Word document in which you
insert a large non compressed file (for example a doc file). Once saved, the
size of the docx file is most likely going to be smaller than the size of
the original doc file.
So yes Word contains zip/unzip functionality, but it is not like you can
access it.
Are you trying to achieve something specific?
