This is an old floppy with important data. I want to open it but error
messages are appearing such as"no id address found" or "check administrator"
or "A// not available, the disk media not recognized"
I am using Microsoft XP Word to open it.
 
Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are
the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption.

Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there.
