Default Cannot open floopy disk in Word

I have Win98 SE, OE6 and IE6 and Word 2000

My wife has saved a document in Word on a floppy disk using the 'Save
As' heading as 'Jerusalem' and Files of Type as Word Document. It was
saved in Times New Roman -Normal.

Everything was fine until today when the document would not open.

The Open page displays Doc.1
Jerusalem
and the Files of type shows: Word Documents.

When I try to open 'Jerusalem' I get the reminder ' Do you want to
revert to the saved 'Jerusalem', yes or no, but whatever I choose it
does not open.

The .doc file and 'Jerusalem' shows in Windows Explorer and on 'My
Computer', where 245,760 bytes is indicated.

One thing I notice and which is very unusual to me: None of the 'Files
of type' have any extensions on them.

I have tested on a blank disk and everything works fine.

Can you help please?

Regards,
Emrys Davies.
