Cannot open a word document because file name too long

I have a word document in 2010 that cannot open because it's file name is too long.

I used to open it before,  wonder why it can't now?

How can I recover the document?

I can't copy, move, open, or rename.

Hello,

As per the description provided, having trouble opening one of the Word document in the Computer.

 

This issue occurs because of a 259-character limitation on creating and saving files in the Office products.

 

As specified in the post you are unable to rename or move the file, check if you can rename one or more folders that contain the file so that they have shorter names.
