Word document saves blank

While working on a document my word crashed, however my word recovered my document. When I finished working, I wanted to save my document but I the document would save blank, also when saving opened an infinite saving loop (By which I mean that after saving, the saving window would pop-up again right away)

I already tried copy-pasting my work into a new file but same problem
 

I really need my work to be saved, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I am not sure what's going on there, but to "save" you work, or at least the text, try pasting it into Notepad.

 

Then, after restarting the computer, you could copy it from Notepad back into a Word document.

Hope this helps,
