When you no longer want a document or folder of
documents on Windows Live or you want to share them with others, you can
download them to your local drive on your computer. You can download
individual files one at a time in their native Office file format, such
as .docx, or an entire folder of documents as a zipped file. The .zip
file format compresses all the files in the folder into a single file.
You can open a zipped file on Microsoft Windows by double-clicking it
and then using an Extract button or by using the Winzip.exe software,
which you can download for free from the Web at one of many download
sites, such as www.download.com.
