Dear All,

I have an old IBM Thinkpad laptop which only has a floppy drive and with Windows 
95 on it. I recently formatted a floppy disk on this and saved an MS Word document 
(Version 7.1) on it. I have tried to open the floppy disk on another PC with Windows 
98 that uses MS Word 97 which will not allow me to do this. Instead it asks me if 
I want to format the disk. If I do this I am scared I will lose my saved word document 
which is formatted in a different version. I hope I have provided enough info. Is 
there any way around this predicament please.

Many thanks
Ben
