I am unable to download a Presspack
To download a Press Pack you will need to have a piece of software called 'WinZip'.
to download your copy of 'WinZip'. Press Packs are compressed to ensure that they take less
time to download to your machine. WinZip is used to expand these files back to their original
size thereby enabling you to view all high resolution images, documents etc. If you would not
like to install this software, you can also open and all items individually and save them to
your computer.
