I copied a cd from a floppy and the file shows on word & my docs, but i
can't open it I get error messg-recover text,open & repair,, file permission
 
Copy the file to your hard drive. Remove the read only attribute in Windows
Explorer then open the file in Word. If the document was saved directkly to
floppy chances are it is corrupt anyway. Never ever read from, write to, or
print from floppy with Word. These are the most certain methods of ensuring
document corruption.

Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there.

This is equally relevant to other removable media such as CDRW.
