Ah, well, if you can't open it from a diskette, either (a) Word is
protecting you from yourself or (b) the document is already corrupt. You
should never save a Word document directly to any form of removable media or
open one directly therefrom, as this is one of the top three causes of
document corruption. Always save to the HD and Copy or Send to the disk.
Reversing the process, Copy to the HD, then open from there.
