Unfortunately you can't fully recover your original file from one of these text files. These files are generally created when you lose access to a drive where your .doc file is saved. Word doesn't hold your full file in memory though, so it can't save all of it for recovery.

The file should contain some plain text that may help you recover some of your document edits manually. More detail can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224068

In particular Microsoft says:

"The file "Rescued Document .txt" is saved to the root of your hard disk. If you no longer have access to the network location, this file may be be useful as it may contain some or all of the contents of your document in a text only format. Items such as formatting, graphics, and fields will not be available in this version of the document because they are not supported in text files."
