Yes, I know floppies are so 20th century. But I have a problem. I have a Word file on a Mac-formatted floppy that I need to get onto a PC where I work. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? When I put it in a PC floppy drive, I get the "Can't read" error message. I don't even need to open the files, just save them into the hard drive. Any info appreciated.

    MacOpener .

    I'll try MacOpener. I should have mentioned that my iMac at home is not online, so I can't email the files.



    Obviously, I should have just burned the files to a CD, but I didn't have one at home.

    Use HFV Explorer. It is free, and can open HFS floppies fine. It does not work for HFS+ though.
