MAC document converted to PC document...

A customer emailed me with this problem...

I have some floppy disks with data saved from a MAC. This was done 10 years ago. It is a book a cousin of mine authored and we would like to update and republish the data, but no one I know has a MAC. I have talked to several people at work where we have MACs in the Creative Services department. They said converting the data to a Word doc is no problem, but none of their MACs have a floppy disk drive.

is there ANY way to read these floppies from a PC and convert them to a MS word document?

I'm betting the floppies will be formatted w/ hfs so you may be able to use this:
