Hi Kelly; Below are some steps that I've typed up for using 7Zip. To unzip files:
1. Highlight the file or files you want to unzip. They can be both, .ZIP or .RAR files or, just 1 or the other. This program has the ability to unzip both types at the same time. 2. Press the applications / context menu key. 3. Press, the #7 on the number row above the main keyboard or, arrow down to 7Zip & press enter. The first time you use the program you might want to arrow down the list to see what options the program has to offer. 4. I arrow down to, extract here, & press enter all the time. I do this because I have a certain folder that all my downloads go into, & I extract all the files into the same folder. To compress files: 1. Highlight the file you would like to compress / archive / zip up. 2. Press the applications / context menu key. 3. Press the #7 on the number row above the main keyboard. 4. Arrow down to, Add to "Name of File7z", & press enter. Another way to compress: 1. Highlight the file you would like to compress / archive / zip up. 2. Press the applications / context menu key. 3. Press the #7 on the number row above the main keyboard. 4. Press enter on, Add to archive... 5. Tab to Archive format, arrow up or down to select your choice of compression method. 6. Tab to, compression level, arrow up or down to choose your compression level. 7. Tab to, compression method, arrow up or down to choose your compression method. 8. Keep tabbing through to check out the many other options you have in this program. When you are through, press spacebar or enter on okay to start the / zipping compression process. Hope this has helped. Take care. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: kim kelly To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 8:10 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Win Rar How does 7zip work?
