I have information on on a floppy that was downloaded from an ami pro pgrogram but no longer have ami pro on my computer. I have microsoft word; how do I convert ami pro so word can open the floppy?
Download the Office Resource Kit - it has an Ami Pro to Word Converter with it. Here is a link to Office 2000 Resource Kit... but should be ok on other versions of office.

When you download the Setup disks, the download contains only one large program file. When you run the downloaded file, it extracts the files. You receive the following message:
This program creates the Setup boot disks for Windows XP. To create these disks, you need to provide 6 blank, formatted, high-density disks.
Please specify the floppy drive to copy the images to:
Type the drive letter for the floppy disk drive (this is typically drive A). After you type the floppy disk drive letter, you receive the following message:
Insert one of these disks into drive drive letter:. This disk will become the Windows XP Setup Boot Disk.
Press any key when you are ready.
When you press a key, the downloaded file starts to extract and copy the files. Continue to insert the blank disks as you are prompted to do this until all six disks are created. If the process is interrupted, you must run the downloaded program file again to create all six disks.
Make sure that you label each disk appropriately with the number that is specified by the program. You must use the disks in the correct order during the Setup process.
Step 3: Start your computer by using the first Setup disk to begin a new Windows XP installation
After you create all six disks, insert the first disk in the floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer. The computer must be configured to start from the floppy disk drive. You may have to modify the BIOS settings on your computer to do this.
The Setup process starts. Insert the other floppy disks when you are prompted. You must use the Windows XP CD-ROM to finish the Setup process.
hope it helps

Ami Pro? Wow is that a throw back in time or what? :) I'd completely forgotten about that program until you asked your question. Do you have any idea what version of Ami Pro was used to originally create the document? What version of Microsoft Word are you running? The first thing I would advise you to do is to copy the file from the floppy and onto your hard drive. Floppy discs are notorious for going bad just when you need them. Microsoft has a converter on their website but it "appears" as though it is only capable of converting files from Ami Pro 3.0 /3.01 to Word 2000. If you don't know the version of Ami Pro used to create the original document, all is not lost, but it will be a hit and miss trying to find the correct converter. I'll help as much as I can.
