[MWForum]GB: compressed files on the www

[Jeff Knope]

Hi Mike,

I at first didn't understand where to look to find this option.  After you 
click "Save As..." you get a panel that shows all your projects' names in 
alphabetical order, with an input window near the bottom for typing a name 
for the file you want to save. It is below that input window there is 
another long narrow window that says, "Project Files."  That's the window 
that is actually a two-item drop-down list, the second item being "Project 
Files Compressed."

Do you find that?

Jeff
