how do you save something on to a floppy disk?

NEVER directly from Word! Save the file to your hard drive (usually in My
Documents) first. Close Word, put a floppy in the "A" drive, open Windows
Explorer ("Flying Window" key + "E"). Click on the My Documents icon to the
top left to see your file to the right, click and drag the file to the "A"
drive to the left.
Keep in mind that the floppy drive holds about 1.4 MB of information. If
you want to see how large your file is, click the "View" menu with Windows
Explorer open and click "Details". The file size, modified date, name, and
file type will appear to the right.

Never save directly to (or read directly from) a floppy drive from within MS
Word. It is one of the easiest ways there is to trash a document.
