Nope, I copied an mp3 to another PC in the workgroup, and it does not persist.
I have found a dll for this though:

The Dsofile.dll sample file is an in-process ActiveX component for programmers that use Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or the Microsoft .NET Framework. You can use this in your custom applications to read and to edit the OLE document properties that are associated with Microsoft Office files, such as the following:
"Microsoft Excel workbooks
"Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
"Microsoft Word documents
"Microsoft Project projects
"Microsoft Visio drawings
"Other files without those Office products installed
