Hi Mandy.

I tried to send you a message to you the other day concerning extracting files 
in WinZip, but for some reason my mails bounced back to me, so here is a copy 
of the message I sent.

Hi Mandy.

OK, in WinZip 14 as in all previous versions, there are two main ways of 
extracting the files.  If you simply click on a compressed file, it will open 
with WinZip and you'll be able to use the extract command to extract some or 
all of the files in to a folder of your choosing.  If you have a zip file in 
the My Documents folder and you wanted to extract a file from that archive, 
you'd need to use this method to select the file you wanted to extract.  If on 
the other hand you want to extract all files in a zip file, you can simply 
right click on the zip file and in the WinZip subfolder of the menu that 
appears, you can either extract the files to the current folder or extract them 
to a folder of the same name as the zip file.  To illustrate, you have a zip 
file called work.zip in the my document folder.  You choose Extract to my 
documents, the files will be placed in the same folder as the zip file.  You 
choose extract to work, the files will be put in a new folder called work in 
the my documents folder.  Finally, you select extract to, you will be presented 
with a screen where you can choose how and where to extract the files in the 
archive.

I hope this explanation serves to enlighten you and feel free to email me again 
if your still experiencing problems.

All the best, Ibrahim.
