Help! Change WinRAR to .zip

Hi everyone, i have coursework for school and i accidently saved my work in a rar file rather than a .zip file. Would someone please be kind enough and send me the documents that are in my compressed. What i will do is forward the document with the attached rar. By the way, it is a microsoft word 2003 document.
Thanks.
Daniel

    Er what?

    Do you want to save the documents as a Zip file?

    Just unzip them to a folder or just re zip using https://www.winzip.com
  • Sent the document back, hope thats what you wanted.

    The documnet was only 76kb so there was actually no need to zip it anyway.

    You must already have winrar on your PC to be able to rar documents. Unrar them using winrar, then download winzip (if you don't already have it) and zip them.
    Unless the document isn't yours...
