zip not working in xp

[cheryl]

Zipped a file but the zipped file wasn't much smaller than orginal file. eg.
16.7 mb
zipped was 16.2mb. How do I make it zip smaller. xp home with office 2003.

Not an Office issue - suggest you post more details to a group for your operating system or for the zip utility.
