You could try and recover the files on the floppy using a utility for that
purpose, e.g. Norton Utilities. But it may not be entirely recoverable.

Never edit a document on a floppy. It's a hard lesson to learn!

You should not open a Word document directly from removable media

removable media.

Which brings you back to the OP's problem: if he/she cannot access the
disk, it is impossible to "copy the Word file to your hard drive, edit
the file there, and then copy the modified file back to the removable
media."


Blessed be, for sure...
