Sending ZIP Files

If there are many text files, images files, and/or large images, you may need to zip them, instead of attaching them.

How to scan & zip pictures

As far as the process goes:
1. Scan all of the pictures in at 100 dpi
2. Open WinZip
3. Select "File" Toolbar, and under that choose "New Archive" (this New Archive will be the ***.zip file that will be sent, so it's important to remember where it is on the computer)
4. Name the New Archive (I think it automatically gets a .zip extension)
5. Click "OK"
6. A dialogue box will appear, asking you what files you want to add to the New Archive. Select each picture and then click "Add." As you select each picture and click "Add," you will go back to a listing of the contents of the New Archive, which includes a running total of the size of the New Archive. To add additional pictures, simply click on "Add" in this dialog box and you will go back to the dialogue box that appeared at the beginning of this Step 6.
(Note that, if you want to select multiple pictures and they're located in the same folder, you can do so by holding down the "Ctrl" key when you click on each individual picture name that appears in the dialog box. This avoids the need to continue to go through the cycle of adding pictures one-by-one)
7. When all pictures to be included in the New Archive have been added, choose the "File" toolbar and select "Close Archive." The New Archive has now been created and can be modified (pictures added or deleted) or sent.
8. To send the New Archive, there is a selection under "File" in WinZip that allows you to "Send Archive" -- however, I didn't necessarily have as much luck with that as I did closing completely out of WinZip and then simply going into my e-mail management software (for me it is Outlook Express), creating a new e-mail to you, and attaching the New Archive as an attachment to the e-mail, as you would any attachment.
