I wrote a document in word 03 and saved it to my usb. It saved as a word doc
but when i took my usb to open it on another computer to print it opens as a
bunch of symbols. I went back to the same computer i saved it from and it
still will not open as readable text. What can i do to recover it and is
there any way to recover it

You've just learnt a tough lesson. NEVER work in Word directly with any type
of removable media: it is the number 1 method of corrupting documents.
