WinZip & Templates

[Momentum]

I am new to BV. I have read all of the tutorials and downloaded everything (I think) ;-/ I am trying to choose a template, but when I go to the folder where I thought I saved it, nothing is there. Is this due to some WinZip issue? I downloaded WinZip, but have no idea how to use it accordingly when trying to access a template. Help, please!

Re: WinZip & Templates

You must Extract the content of the Zip file. Good idea to first create a Templates folder (to keep things organised), then Extract the Zip file there. The method to extract the file depends on your operating system, etc. Using Windows Explorer, right-click on the file and choose Extract to Here. Or else on the left of the window you will see a link "Extract All".

Once extracted you will be able to use the templates.

Ok Tom, your directions were very helpful! I was atleast able to find this and see the option for Extract to Here, but when I clicked on it, it brings up a message that says, Thank you for trying WinZip! Then it shows an open box for registration and a code. I downloaded WinZip, but do I have to purchase something? Thanks.

Hi,

I never installed a zip in my XP or Vista x64.

To zip a file or folder I just right click and send to Zip.

To open a zip file I just double click!
