Transfer files Word and Excel for Windows 98 to Windows07

I have an old computer with excel and word files running on Windows 98. I recently got a new printer that does not work with Windows 98. So, I tried to transfer these files on my laptop that runs on Windows07 using floppy disks and external floppy drive. The laptop cannot load old files. I checked the floppy drive by downloading and uploading then laptop Excel and Word files without any problem.  When I try to download an old file I get a message asking me to format the drive, which then clears the file. After formatting the drive and by downloading the file again, I get a message saying that the file may be damaged.

Someone had a similar problem that could help me please.

Thanks and greetings

Phil Richardson

If my suggestion fails...

You can also try:

Connect the floppydrive to your old PC

Move ALL of the files on the diskette to the old PC

Unplug the the old PC floppydrive

Plug it into the new PC

When it ask to format, then do it - you erase anything on the floppydrive, because the files are safe on the old PC...

After formatting, disconnect the new PC floppydrive

Connect it to the old PC...

  • I need to Word and Excel

    I bought a new computer running Windows 7.  Problem is that it includes all of the office programs.  I would really like Word and Excel, but cannot afford to buy.  When I look for download, many other programs developed.  I don't want to download inappropriate programs.  Does anyone know how to download Word and Excel for free alternative or little good programs.  I just need to write letters and sometimes to make a spreadsheet that sort.

    Thank you

  • all my word and Excel documents all appear in the files my images. If I delete the document of MY photos it is deleted in Word/Excel too, how to undo it?

    Word and Excel files are saved in Word and Excel and in my images.  If I delete the document of my images, it is also deleted in Word / Excel.  I checked and all Word/Excel documents are in my pictures including documents several years ago.

    Can someone tell me why this is happening so Ican break & he has not reproduce? Is this related to the theScan function?  My husband scanned something recently

    You have them saved to this location for some reason any. If you don't like that you have to move them to the correct location and stop then save in the wrong location.

    Whenever you save something you must check if you save it in the correct location, of course.

    Do not delete them. You can use UNDO and trash to get back those you've accidentally deleted recently.

  • during the conversion of several Word and Excel docs in a combined PDF file random pages have blue background in the final PDF file.

    I have a user using Acrobat 10. It has been installed two weeks ago and had no problems at the start. Today, she said that when she tried to convert several word and excel docs by selecting and right-click on it to select convert/combine PDF format, pages randomly in the finished PDF file have a blue background. I did some research online and you can't find any information on this problem. Can anyone here shed some light on this subject and maybe point me in the direction of a solution? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi Gilad,

    So something I didn't consider was that it could be a setting in office documents. The reason why I do not consider this was cause we tested several docs and had similar results each time. I returned and examined this possibility and found a setting in word that was causing this problem. Although the word doc showed no color page when opened in word, if I went to the "Page Layout"-> 'Color of Page', a shade of blue was chosen. By selecting "no color", then convert / combining documentation in PDF format, we have achieved the desired result. Thanks again for your response!
