I saved a very important file to a floppy disk, then took the floppy out. Now, whenever I try to access data on the floppy, it gives me goofy errors like “Cannot format the floppy”. “Do you want to format the floppy” (Obviously, I said no).

With that said, I was using word when I saved my file to the floppy. Is there anyway to recover data written to a floppy from within word?
