Whenever I type a "Word" document, I save it to a 3 1/2" Floppy. However, when I try to retrieve it on the dis(on the same computer), I get the message "Windows cannot find winword.exe". What do I need to do??

There is a posibility that your floppy is bad what you can do is right click the floppy click on properties this will give you the option to either run scandisk and fix errors run scandisk without fixing the bad sectors you should always have a backup copy of the your work on both the floppy and the hard drive.
