Default Can I access a "corrupted" document from a disk?

I attempted to open a document from my computer without the disk it was saved
to. When I realized this, and tried to open the same document from the disk,
it told me the document was "corrupted". It won't open from other computers
either. I need the document, is there a way for me to still access it? The
other documents on the same disk still open, just not the one I tried to open
without the disk. Please help soon!

Don't ever try to open a file directly from a floppy. Always copy it to the
HD first. Try this, and if you still have no success, try Open and Repair
(in Word 2002 or 2003) or the Recover Text from Any File setting for "File
type."
