You have to copy it back to the HD, then open it from there. Note that it
will be read-only because it's been on a CD. You'll need to remove the
read-only property in Windows Explorer.

Saving to a floppy has very likely corrupted it.

You learn never to save a file to a floppy again. Then you start recreating
the document (or recover it from a backup).

Ah! Try using File Open and select the Open and Repair option. If that
fails, then you could try opening it in WordPad or a basic text editor which
should allow you to at least save some of your data.

Hello yes i did try open and repair but this didnt work! How else could i fix it? How can i convert it if it wont open? What do i do if i dont have a backup?

If none of the other options work, then its beyond all recall. A hex editor
may find something, but I wouldn't bother - it will be far quicker to
reproduce it from scratch.
