I suspect you are right. I am using WinZip 8.0 (really old version). I am looking into just using XP native zip support. Has anyone tried that? Does it work?

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Using a broken zip utility from the look of it. I've just tried using unzip v5.52 / zip v2.31 on linux. Steps were: * mkdir expanded * cd expanded * unzip ../Original.xlsx * zip -r ../Repacked.xlsx . * scp ../Repacked.xlsx to a nearby windows box * open Repacked.xlsx in excel 2007 without issue I'd try using a zip utility that does what you ask it to, without any magic or wizardry - I suspect your gui one is doing something unhelpful and not telling you.
