When using the correct file type, my old LWP files from a floppy only show as a blank page.
For enabling help please provide detailed information of your steps and the result of each step.
Consider also that the information on your floppy disc could have gone lost.
See if you can copy the file to your HD first.
1 Convert the .lwp files to .odt at zamzar.com
2 Buy a copy of Lotus WordPro for pennies on eBay and copy the content to LO. My 22 year-old Windows 95 version of Lotus Smartsuite runs happily under Windows 7.
