ZIP Documents

Large documents are often "zipped" or compressed to reduce the time required to download them. Although ZIP files can be downloaded with no additional software, you must have the appropriate software to decompress the files and make them accessible to their native software. If you do not have ZIP software, you can learn about compression software and download a free trial version of WINZIP.
