Save as Zip
SJ 25.09.2006 16:26:02
Hi!

According to this description below it will be possible to see the folder
structure of a docx document just by adding the zip extension to the file
name but I will not be able to do that with the Beta version.

"Create a temporary folder in which to store the file and its parts.
Save a Word document (containing text, pictures, and so forth) as a .docx
file.
Add a .zip extension to the end of the file name.
Double-click the file. It will open in the ZIP utility. You can see the
document parts that are included in the file.
Extract the parts to the folder that you created earlier."

I do the following:

-I got WinZip installed.
-I create a word document
-I save it as word xml
- I right click on the file chose Rename and add the .zip extension.
- I try to double click to open (then word asks for a template) so I will
break
- I try to open the file in winzip but it will not work.

Why can I not open the file with the zip extension?
Thanks
//SJ

When you do the following:

[Quoted Text]
> -I save it as word xml

are you actually changing the "Save as type" to "Word XML Document (*.xml) ?

If you are, then you are actually saving in the old Word 2003 xml format,
which is not zipped like the new one is.

To save in the new XML format, leave the "save as type" as "Word Document
(*.docx)
