How to split&export .wma files

I split a .wma file into several smaller portions. I then clicked export multiple and stuff and a pop-up read '0 files exported'. How do I split and then export .wma files, using Audacity 1.2.6 with Windows 7?

Thanks for the help.

1) Don't use Audacity 1.2.6 with Windows 7. Use Audacity 1.3.13 http://audacityteam.org/download/
2) Audacity 1.2.6 does not support WMA format.
3) For WMA format support in Audacity 1.3.x you need to also install FFMpeg http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.ph ... tallffmpeg
4) Audacity does not work directly on audio files. Audacity works with "Audacity Projects". To work on an audio file you must "Import" the file into Audacity. After you have done whatever editing you want, you can the "Export" it as a new audio file. See here regarding Audacity Projects http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects
5) See here for how to use Export Multiple: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Export_Multiple
