No, .doc, .ppt, etc are wrapped file of files, although not using a ZIP container format. I also believe Visual Pinball uses the same container format as Microsoft Word. 7-Zip just calls this format "Compound", although there are other names for it, such as "DocFile" and "POIFS". I just tried now such a file, and I got the following listing from 7-Zip:

     Date      Time    Attr         Size   Compressed  Name
  ------------------- ----- ------------ ------------  ------------------------
                      .....        35842        36352  WordDocument
                      .....          106          128  [1]CompObj
                      .....         4096         4096  1Table
                      .....         4096         4096  Data

                                   52332        52864  6 files, 1 folders
