You shouldn't *open* the file from the floppy. You should display the
floppy in Windows Explorer (My Computer) and drag the file to My
Documents.

If you saved the file directly to the floppy (not copied from your hard
drive), it's possible you corrupted the file. Never save to removable
media.
Always save to your local drive then copy the file over in Windows
Explorer.
