.doc file and zip file - now my file is corrupted I think

Hi, I have been working with a 300+ MS file this morning. After I saved it
(or whateve the right term) to a zip file, I cannot open the file. I cannot
open the .doc or the .zip file - I get the "document path is not valid" error
message.

Has anyone had this problem, I'm desparate.

I would never edit a document in a zip folder. Word can't save a document as
a zip file. Try opening the zip file from Windows and copying the enclosed
document to a separate folder. Can you open that?

It sounds like you've (accidentally?) moved it. Find the file with Windows
Explorer and try to open it.
