How can I further compress a zipped Excel file that is 148MB?
Basically you can't zip a zip file and get any meaningful reduction in size.
That said, programs like PKZip (now called SecureZip) usually allow you to change the compression settings, offering a balance between file size and time to unzip. The smaller the zipped file size (more compression), the longer it takes to unzip. The reverse also holds true. The larger the zip file (less compression), the faster it is to unzip. Make sure that you are using the method that minimizes file size. In SecureZip version 11, the setting is on the Compression page of the Options dialog, accessible from the Tools menu. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "Mi Mi" <Mi wrote in message ... |
