Floppy and MS Word format problem

PLEASE HELP ME! My finals are next week and all my notes are saved on one floppy disk (stupid, I know). I have only used this disk in Microsoft Word 2000 on my PC. Somehow, it won't open now. I receive a message that somebody cannot find "converter WPFT532". It prompts me to install some damn thing, and asks for a CD I do not own called Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business. I inserted Disk 2, but it doesn't want that one. A friend told me I could download this software free from you guys so my disk would be formatted and I could study for my test. Next time, I'll back my work up! Respond soon (like, by tomorrow) or it'll be too late. Thanks!
You can e-mail me at aedwar12@student.aum.edu ... it's a real address, I swear--student account at school
PS I hate NetZero!

 

Back up your floppy to 2 different folders on your hard drive as well, each time you write to, or alter, the floppy drive. For example, to the My Documents file and create another called Schoolbackup or something easy for you to remember. Back up to another floppy as well. Label it each time with the latest backup date. Assuming a 1.44mb floppy (maximum), it won't take long. Bazza
