Zipping Files Together ~ Sorry, I'm thick

I'm doing an OU course and the first assignment is a slide show and a document. These are required to be zipped together in order to submit.

I've followed their instructions, but can't complete it, I've googled and tried to drag and drop into a new folder together, but that won't submit either, as it then wants me to choose one of the files within the folder.

I know it's a stupid question, but I just can't do it.
I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    right click, new, compressed zip folder
    copy and paste two files into folder
    attach the folder (it's not really a folder, it's a .zip file) to email

    or download and use 7zip

    Another way:

    Select the documents you want to zip up, then right click and go to Send to > compressed (zipped) folder.
    What will your verse be?

    Use zipping software such as WinZip, and follow the software instructions for generating the zip file.

    Thanks. Turns out I had managed it, but then couldn't find it!

    Such a dimbo.

    Thanks so much, this techy malarky is as hard as the actual study.
