Did you try the Open and Repair feature in Word?

If so, what result did you get?  Is your copy of word updated to the latest version?  Sometimes a patch can help. 

Another possibility for recovery is to right-click on the file in Windows Explorer and choose Properties>Previous versions and see if there are any shadow copies available.

You can also try openoffice- it has been known to be able to open corrupt word files.  There are also many paid offerings to do this if this file is that important- they aren't cheap, and I have no experience with them.

Without knowing other information, it's hard to troubleshoot such.
