How do I zip two files together, 1 audio 1 text
Sailor Mick 12/25/2008 11:31:00 AM
For my O.U.course, I need to send an audio file and a text file zipped
together to send as one file. I have followed instructions, ( ctrl-left click
on first one file, then left click on the other. then right click on one of
them and send to zipp folder) all I can get is one folder in the zipped mode,
if I do the same with the other it goes into a different zipped folder.
Getting on a bit for computers, but I will get the hang of it eventually,
Thanks in anticipation,

You (or the writer of the instructions) got the order of the clicks backwards.
Left-click the first file without the Ctrl key. Then Ctrl+left-click the second
file. Now both of them should be highlighted at the same time. Right-click
either of them and choose to send to a zipped folder.

.... Or put both files in a single folder & zip the folder :-)

That's probably what I would have done.
