Sorry, I don't see it. Could you link to where you answer the question?
My final wild guess is there's some odd filename in there which zip is taking to be a commandline switch instead of a file.
Anyway, tar isn't compressing at all, but can if you ask it to:
One drawback of tar is that it can't "seek" the way zip can. It doesn't have a table of contents. Extracting one specific file, from a tarball of 2 gigabytes, means scanning through as much of that 2 gigabytes as it takes to find it. This has other advantages, like being able to extract from a stream in progress, which is the whole point of course - "tape archive".

There could be a filename with space in it. That could cause a mess.
Would you be so good as to either post the output (i.e. the echo in front of your command) or the output of ls -lid *.txt *.doc *.rtf *.html *.png *.pdf *.odt *.ods *.odg *.csv *.xls On_Resume*
The d flag might show us if you are trying to zip a directory, which might also cause an unexpected issue.
Thank you for the output. There are at least two I've spotted which may cause you problems - Yahoo Advanced Web Search.html and Good_ bible_ verses.odt
Can you show us what happens when you try your code?
Oddly, there are no files that start On_Resume* at all. Are you in the correct directory?
