RibbonX and .zip File Issue?

Hey All,

I am currently receiving the following error after editing files using
WinZip:

Excel found unreadable content in [filename]. Do you want to recover
the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook,
click Yes.

I am currently using WinZip 12.0 Pro (8252).

I have even taken files which currently open with Excel, opening in WinZip,
removing the _rels and the CustomUI folders, re-adding them and then attempt
to re-open and it will fail.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,

TC

Have you tried extracting the files from WinZip first? Winzip does not
like updating files that exist in an archive, but if you unzip them
first it will make things a lot easier!

Yes. I actually extracted working folders from a file that works and
dragged & dropped these to another .zip file and renamed the office file as
expected. It does not work.

In that case, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. You
say that you extracted the folders from a file (I assume to be a .zip),
then dragged them to another .zip. I'm still wondering if you actually
did work on the file(s) WHILE they were extracted to disk and not in an
archive, or if you opened it/them FROM Winzip and then tried to change
and save back to the .zip... In other words, if you modify the file(s)
without actually making a copy to a regular disk file, that might be the
problem. I use Vista, and had similar problems until I realized that you
can view and use .zip archives as if they were in a normal folder, but
they are still zipped and sometimes it gave me a hard time until I just
extracted the one(s) I needed, then did the work on them, THEN put them
back into the archive. I hope that makes a little sense!
