Default unformat a closed script on cd

Don't try to open the document from the CD directly in Word. Instead, in
Windows Explorer, copy the file from the CD to your hard drive. You'll need
to right-click on the file on the HD, choose Properties, and clear the
read-only flag; then open it in Word.

I'm writing a manuscript in Microsoft Word. It is burnt on a cd, the
computer
closed the cd on me and I can't seem to retrieve the script of 6,429
kilobytes. It keeps giving me the message you need the import converter to
open the cd because the feature is currently not available in your
program. I
had two, one opened after lot of
playing around but the second and the biggest one is troublesome. I need
to
retrieve
the Word file and copy it to the hard drive.
