I saved a word document file to a 3.5 floppy, now when I try to open the file
word opens a blank window and stall. The communicaton line at the bottom of
the window reads, "scanning disk for viruses". after several minutes a
dialogue box opens; can't open file check to see if write protected or try
text recover.
When I click ok and try open and repair the process starts over. The
document has an excel worksheet embedded in it. The only macro is the TODAY()
fucnton in one of the cells. Any ideas?
 
Working with Word documents directly on a floppy is an almost certain way to
corrupt them. Sadly, you have probably killed your document.

Try copying the file from the floppy to your hard disk using Windows
Explorer, then try opening it.
