Can't get it into Word, you say? I will make the following recommendations:
1. Most simply, right click the file and choose "Open With...", then find Word or WINWORD.EXE or the like.
2. If it won't open, then either the file's corrupted or the floppy is stupid. Or both. Either way, I recommend emailing the file to yourself if Word won't open the file.
If you don't want to do the second one, could you tell me the extension of the file? If you can't see it, then click Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Deselect "Hide extensions." Then you'll be able to see the extension.
