To create a list of files to add to the user's computer during installation, choose Add, select the file that you want to add to the list, and choose Add again. To change the destination path of a file, select the file in the Add custom files list and choose Modify. To remove a file from the list, select the file and choose Remove. You can use the SHIFT and CTRL keys to select multiple files at the same time.

When you add files to an Office installation, note the following:

Files are copied into the Setup customization file when you save the customization file and exit the OCT. Large files increase the size of the customization file and the time that is required to create the file.

If you revise a file that is currently included in the customization file, you must open the customization file by using the OCT, remove the file from the Add files list, add the revised version, and save the customization file.

If the user removes, repairs, or reinstalls Office, the custom files are removed or reinstalled together with Office. Setup does not reinstall a custom file if the file has changed since installation.
