where is DATA1.MSI to allow reading *.wps files in WORD?

I have MS Office 2000, with three service packs installed. I tried to open
a *.wps file and WORD told me it could not, but did I want to install
DATA1.MSI so that it could. WORD wanted SR-1, which I don't have on disk
because it was an automatically installed download. I did find DATA1.MSI on
the original Office disk 1, which the program took. WORD now opens the
*.wps file, but it is junk.

How can I install what ever is missing without messing up the current level
of updates?

Are you sure you aren't confusing 'SR-1' and 'SP-1' or 'SP-3?" SR-1 is the
installation disk, whereas SP-1 etc. are 'Service Packs' that you could have
downloaded automatically.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, you are correct SR-1 vs Sp-1. However, I did
use the installation disk to respond to the question. DATA1.MSI was found
and "installed", but the *.wps file opens with squares and junk instead of
readable text. It occurred to me that perhaps one of the service packs
updated that file and/or how it reads *.wps files. It certainly is not
working. So, the difference now is that instead of getting a missing file
error message, my *.wps file is opened with unreadable junk instead of text.
I don't know where to go next.
