Sandy,
I want to make sure we are on the same page. When you find the zipped
document in the My Documents folder, are you pressing enter and getting the
error message? Or, are you going into the file menu and choosing another
option? If you are pressing enter on the filename and receiving an error, it
could be that you don't have a program to unzip the files, or that the file
is truly corrupt and unusable. If however, you are accessing the file menu,
can you specify which option you are selecting from the file menu?

Hi Scott:
I've got the zipped file in my documents. However, When I try to open it
with a sub-menu, it tells me that the file is invalid or corrupt. What do I
do now? Am I using the wrong open sub-menu in the file menu?

Hi Sandy,
Try the following:
1. Open the message which contains the attachment.
2. Press alt f to open the file menu.
3. Arrow down to "Save attachments" and hit enter.
4. Your screen reader will read the name of the file. Be sure you know at
least part of the filename as this will make finding it much easier later.
5. Tab once. You will be in an edit box which will show the location where
the file will be saved. It should be My Documents. Even if this is not where
you want the file to be saved, I recommend saving it here first. It's easy
enough to move it later.
6. Tab until you reach the save button and press enter.
7. Now, go to the My Documents folder, assuming that is where you saved the
file.
8. Find the file and press enter. You will now be in a subfolder, or in this
case, a zipped folder, containing the file or files that were zipped. 9.
Press alt f to open the file menu. 10. The first option in the menu will be
unzip. 11. Press enter and follow the steps to unzip the files.

Hello:
I am a novice when I compare my knowledge with the rest of you. I admit that
I don't know everything about working with computers.
I have received a zipped file as an attachment that I need to unzip. Can
anyone offer the commands for unzipping it? I have saved it as a Microsoft
Word document.
Thank you!
Sandy
