VIDEO: How to ZIP files using WINZIP

4 December, 2011 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

This 5 minute video was created to answer this question from an Effective Church Communication Member:

  "I’m having no luck creating a zip file so that I can e-mail projects-in-progress, such as flyer designs, around to other committee members for their input. I”ve tried the free 30-day trials of Stuff-It and WinZip and am just lost. Any chance you might put together a how-to video that cuts through the jargon on their Help files?"

Her question caused me to remember when I first got WINZIP. As with many programs today, it seems the companies attempt to flood a person with all kinds of options and special features and ways to do things I have no need to do--but all I wanted was to ZIP and send files. After quite a bit of experiementation I found a very simple way to ZIP files and that's all. I made a 5 minute video that shows exactly what I do, in fact, I had a set of files I wanted to ZIP and will be sending this week. I'm sure WINZIP is a fantastic program that can do all kinds of things--but all I care about, and I imagine many church communicators are the same, is that it does the one important thing I need it to do.

NOTE: after I did this, I got another question about file compression--to see that article and to suggestion options, please CLICK HERE.

Check out the video below to see what I do to create ZIP Files:

I use WinZIP almost every week because it is the program I use to create the files that Effective Communication Members can download and that contain a variety of files: editable MS Word & MS Publisher, ready-to-print PDFs, image files, videos any and all kinds of files.

There are many files available for Effective Church Communication Members that will save you many hours of time and provide a starting point and inspiration for many projects.
