Word to XML with C#

[ChainsawDude]

I aim to convert word docs to XML using C# and office automation. The .doc
files are stored in a database.

Please say if it is possible to open a dotnet Stream object in word or must
I always save to a temporary file?

Thanks

Word has no provision to open a .NET Stream object, only files. Word 2003 is
slightly different, in that you can "feed it" WordML. But if you're using C#
to convert Word docs to XML you're probably not using Word 2003...
