The document I want to copy to a floppy is a simple letter, maybe 3 or 4 Kbytes. I used the word
"send" rather than copy to replicate the command I am offered when I right-click on the
file name as it is listed in My Documents. When I right-click, one of the options given me is to
"Send To" four or five possible places. The one I choose is the D drive where my floppy
is waiting. It works fine for any Word file or Spreadsheet file, but it will not accept the text
file that I prepared with OpenOffice 3. Are you able to copy your text files to a floppy? If so,
what commands do you use?

How big are the documents you want to put onto the floppy. Floppies can only
take about 1.4 MB.
Why do you use the word "send"? What are you actually doing, in
detail?

I haven't used a floppy disk in maybe 5 years (my laptop doesn't have
one) but, if I did, I would double click it in Windows to open it like a
normal folder and then drag & drop the document from where it is to the
floppy. I have never used Send To so I don't even know what it is for.
It seems that Send To should work but I'm afraid I don't know why it
isn't. Perhaps someone else here can help. **Please**
