A method and system for storing data in a file is provided. The present invention provides for data to be organized within a compound document as a file bundle. A file bundle is a file system file that contains sub-files, which may be organized hierarchically.

The program that generates the data can open the file bundle created by another program and directly access the data within the file bundle file.
