There is no function in Word to create zipped documents on the fly. I regret
I know nothing about Vista, but if it automatically creates compressed
files, then there should be a way of turning it off from Vista. Ask in a
Vista forum.
Are the files compressed if you merely save them to the hard drive? If not,
open an e-mail message - preferably in Outlook - and add the document to the
message as an attachment.
