Document corruption is a common problem when saving directly to removable media. Always copy to the hard drive to work on or print any Word file.
Whether the document is salvageable is difficult to say, but you can access its internal file structure if you open the file (if it is not too badly corrupted) with WinRar or WinZip.

It is a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has left, but the problem could have been avoided by using http://www.gmayor.com/SaveInTwoPlacesAddIn.htm
