Can I safely copy data files from an infected floppy to a clean computer's hard disk?

Assuming that the PC is not infected by any virus just before copying the files, there is no chance the virus would infect the system. However, care should be taken for some of the data files which are interpreted as executable by some other programs (such as MS Word macro). These files should be treated as malicious until the symptoms of the infection are known.
