Motherboard of my computer has crashed. Have recovered asd document from the hard drive but cannot open it. Have tried changing extension to .docx and this does not work. Tried using openoffice.org open source software but it does not recover the narrative in tables. Would appreciate any help.

Check the properties to make sure there are any bytes in the file. When Windows shuts down, .asd files are supposed to be deleted.

I hope someone else jumps in on this because the only thing I can think of is that Word might have to be on the external drive, but that shouldn't be necessary.

The only other thought I have is broken links. I assume this file contains links to other files.

Although the Open Office solution should have worked for you, take a look at this:
