Stacking Microsoft Office icons

I've recently installed Microsoft Office for Mac, however all the icons (Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc) have now appeared on the dock.

How do I create a stack for them? Do I need to create a folder first?

When I tried stacking the first time, the icons were just being duplicated into the stack but they were still there on the dock.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

You would need to create a folder somewhere, put aliases to the Office apps in it, and add that folder to the Dock. You can create aliases easily by selecting all the Office apps, then drag them to the desired folder while holding down the command and option keys. The resulting icons should have a little curved arrow at the bottom left corner, indicating that they are aliases.
