After opening a floppy disk which was written with an old (Wordstar) word processing program, I can no longer open any file in Word 2000. I simply get the hour glass symbol. I tried to reinstall but can't locate my code which is required for reinstallation. Any suggestions for either problem would be appreciated. How can I get around the problem or get a code for reinstallation (I do have a long code which contains OEM which is displayed when I try to open Word 2000).
 
Did you try running an antivirus scan (make sure your AV software is
updated)? If you don't have AV software, get some ASAP - but you can first
try http://housecall.antivirus.com for an online scan.

To see what your Office/Word cd-key is, if you don't have it on the jewel
case that came with your computer, go to www.magicaljellybean.com and
download keyfinder.
 
Stick the floppy with the file back in the floppy drive and don't open
files on a floppy from inside Word any more.
