I was in the Apple store when i bought my new Macbook Pro 13.3 yesterday and saw how they had Microsoft Office icons all in a black folder on the dock and it sat on the right hand side.

How do i get my icons to appear in a folder like that? I saw previous posts that say right click and display folder...right click what? New to Mac here.

You can right-click on a folder icon on the Dock and select Display as > Folder.

I'm pretty sure that if you go to your applications folder and find the black Office folder, you can just drag it to the dock. I personally don't have office so I can't test this theory, but that's how you get other apps into the dock.
