Quick Start Information
There are several ways to get to know WinZip® quickly
and easily; each tailored to a different style of learning. Choose one or more
of the following approaches
- If you haven't installed WinZip yet, see WinZip Installation for brief installation
instructions.
- Take a look at the Quick Start
Guide, which introduces file compression terminology, describes the
installation process, and takes a first look at basic WinZip operations. (If
you haven't installed WinZip yet, you'll have an opportunity during installation
to print a nicely formatted version of the Guide.)
- Some users just like to dive right in! If you have experience with
archives and Windows, you might want to do just that. Context-sensitive
help is available at any time by pressing the F1 key.
- You can get an overview of the primary operations of WinZip from the
Brief Tutorial.
- If you like to learn by doing, try the WinZip Tutor,
which takes you step-by-step through the process of zipping and unzipping.
- The WinZip Wizard leads you through the
process of zipping or unzipping
using a series of panels or pages in a special window, commonly known as a
"wizard." This convenient alternative interface for WinZip can help to
simplify zipping, unzipping and installing software.
