You can easily view any of the files stored in a WinZip file by double clicking the file in the main WinZip window. WinZip will open the file in its associated application. For example, a Word (.docx) file may be displayed in Word, and a text (.txt) file may be displayed in Notepad. When you double click on a program file (.exe), it is run.

Alternatively, you can right-click the file in the main WinZip window and choose:

Open opens the file in the same way as double-clicking
Open With displays a list of associated applications; click any one to open the file with that application

With a WinZip Pro or Enterprise registration, many files will display a preview that can be exanded for quick viewing (pictures, documents, etc).
