And if you are still desperate, do this.
Hit Control A (marks whole text), and then Control C (copies it to the clipboard). Then try opening Wordpad (you should have it, but it might be hidden, do a search) and hit Control V to paste it in.
If Wordpad screws it up - look for a free text editor that handles big files - plenty of good ones out there.
Hopefully doing this, all the text will come across, all the line and carriage returns, but none of the other dross.
Then save, and then either reopen with Word (can be done) or copy and past yet again into a new blank document in Word.
