ZIP FILES

Don D

Can somebody tell me how to use Winzip. I've paid for it and installed it because my isp would not send photos over a certain size (just a normal photo). So, I have the photos and I have winzip. But, how do I get the thing to function? Thanks.

I think it's time to call your service technician located in Taiwan. He can confuse you to the point that you loose interest in sending your pics. Viola, problem solved.

When my IT person gets in, I'll ask. Later.

Since you've already spent the cash, it is a bit late to say you could have gotten it for free from download.com... (You can use it in the unregistered format indefinitely...)

As for using it, I'm assuming you want to send a zipped file, since receiving one is as simple as double clicking on it within an email.

Once you have it installed, the easiest way I have found to add files into a zipped package is to go to windows explorer and navigate to the photos you want to zip up. Right click on the photo file and you should see a drop down menu that includes "add to zip." (If you don't see this, winzip has not installed correctly.) Choose that option and it will open up your winzip program. You should immediately name your winzip file and choose where you want it saved. After that, you can import files (photos) into your zip archive just like you open a document in word (same menu hierarchy)...

Hope that helps.

If that does not work for you, Goggle "winzip" and you'll get lots of info.

It's easy. You just have to be smarter than the machine.

Whatever

Wow. I have been wanting to say this to you for weeks "Don, Zip it!!!!" x:D

I don't have Windows Explorer on my desktop nor do I find it when I go to start and search all programs. Although I have multiple Windows applications. I have Internet Explorer on my desktop and that's the way I get on the internet. But, I've printed out the seven page web link instruction you included and will try it that way. Thanks again. It does baffle me that going from a dial up to a high speed capability actually results in a step backwards in this regard.

This whole thing is funny, b/c I have a free "trial" version of WinZip which I downloaded for a college class and use it frequently enough (for pictures that are really big files) - and didn't pay a dime. It is also very easy to use, b/c it coaches you through what you need to do. Anyways - I do not have the Paid for version, but thought I'd share my 2 cents.

OK Tiff, you making fun of me?

safety

Don, if she said to keep 'things' out of the way when you zip up then she would be making fun.:oo

System

Don, when you open WinZip, look for a button that says "Wizard," which claims that it will take you through the process step by step. x:-/
