Do you get some sort of message when you try to open the documents? If so,
what is it? Are you able to create new documents? What version of Word? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Are you trying to open these documents from the floppy? If so, don't. Copy
them to the HD first. -- Suzanne S.

You bought a new hard disk just because of a virus?

I have heard that some people are actually buying new computers because
their old ones are infected with viruses. sigh -- Suzanne S.

That's okay if you were going to do it anyway because their systems are as
old as mine but if they are doing it just because of the virus, then I want to know where they were when I made a living selling computers! (Truth is, I had customers like that and I advised them to try an anti-virus first.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
