You can create a new archive by selecting New Archive from the WinZip File pull-down menu or by clicking the New toolbar button. This activates the New Archive dialog box.
First, you type the name of the archive you want to create, not the names of the files you want to compress. This dialog box works similarly to standard Windows file dialog boxes, so you can choose the drive and folder where the archive will be created. The names of any existing archives on the selected drive and folder are listed to help you choose a name that is not already in use.
Normally after creating an archive you will want to add files to the archive, so verify that the Add dialog check box is checked to automatically activate the Add dialog box.
