I use open office.  That said, before you replace it, is re-installing MS office an option.  It's better than all the free alternatives, its just not better enough to justify the price tag.

Open Office and its fork Libre Office both have a reputation for being able to open and repair MS-Word created files that Word itself created but cannot handle.  Reputedly once opened and resaved the "damaged" files can then be used by Word once more.  So they are worth a try.

You still use floppies?  I developed an intense hatred of floppies after I lost three hours worth of progress on a term paper because I had saved it on a floppy and failed to back up my progress with other sources.  Floppies are unreliable, and will fail you at the worst possible times.  USB flash drives have been known to survive being dropped in coffee.  Use them.
