With what commands can I compress only certain file extensions with 7zip? e.g. *.txt and *.doc and *.docx (across subdirectories, so 'recursively')
I read Compress only specific files from a folder while preserving folder structure and from there I can see that 7z a archive.7z -ir!.\*.txt would compress all txt files in the current directory, but what if I want to specify multiple extensions e.g. *.txt, *.doc and *.docx?

You can repeat the -ir switch several times, like
7z a archive.7z -ir!.\*.txt -ir!.\*.doc(sometimes, just trying things out is the fastest way to get an answer ;-)
