    Compression
In summary, when creating a compressed zip folder or a Microsoft Word document, it's important to avoid using certain characters in file names, such as /\:*?"<>|. These characters can cause errors or issues with file accessibility on various operating systems. Using appropriate naming conventions ensures compatibility and prevents potential problems when sharing or storing files.

Thanks.
And sorry if I got your name wrong; I'm now thinking BoB is an abbreviation for something :)
Nope. just BoB with two big 'B's. One is just not enough.

BoB
