The disc is corrupt!

Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are
the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption.

Always copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there.

This is equally relevant to other removable media such as CDRW.

You *may* be able to recover some of the content of the floppy using file
recovery software.
