And before you join the others who have critisised me for working in such an old system, I like WS6, I've never seen or used a wordprocessor that will maintain my files as I like them, and no dammed mouse either, fingers only, fonts, line spacing and other commands, on the page where you can see them, not in some scratty little box at the top, which you hope is the same font you started with.
There are 100's of us all over the world who still use WS6 or WS7.

What sort of optical media is there in that computer ? Get the file on a floppy and then run a conversion program such as the ones found here
WordStar for DOS - Downloads ABit.
As for word processing have you ever tried LaTeX ? That gives you proffessional type setting with only a very moderate learning curve.
