[Natasha]

I have saved a file to a floppy disk from aother computer, but when i have
brought it home and tried to open the file, i get an error msg saying the
file is not available. Can anyone help??

If you saved the file directly to the floppy (not copied from your hard
drive), it's possible you corrupted the file. Never save to removable media.
Always save to your local drive then copy the file over in Windows Explorer.

You shouldn't *open* the file from the floppy. You should display the floppy
in Windows Explorer (My Computer) and drag the file to My Documents.

I suspect that file is already corrupt and may not be completely
salvageable.
