Cannot open Word file

I cannot open my word file(Office 2007) from my thumb drive. When I open the document it says -Word was unable to read this document.  It may be corrupt.  Try one or more of the following : *Open and Repair the file - *Open the file with the Text Recovery converter.........

Tried installing Office2007 SP3, tried to open in word 2010 but still the same problem.  Is there any solution to solve this problem? Thanks.

You cannot open word doc on a thumb drive. Copy it to your hard drive and it will open. Word needs hard disk space for all the background chores Word does when you open or edit a doc file.
