cannot re-open worksheet saved on floppy disk in excel.
Keeps saying may now be read-only etc. How can I make it
open again ? IT WAS SAVED PROPERLY TO THE DISK
 
If you saved the spreadsheet to floppy using File > Save
then you may have problems. When you create an Excel
spreadsheet it uses other temporary files in the
background and these cannot be saved. The correct
procedure should be to save to your PC first and then
using Windows Explorer copy the .XLS file to your floppy.
When opening again you should copy the .XLS file from the
floppy to your PC and then open it from Excel. The floppy
should only be used to 'transport' your file.

Apologies if you have done this and are still having
problems.
