How to convert an Interop.Word.Document object to a stream or byte array?

I'm trying to upload a word document I have created in memory to Sharepoint 2010 and it looks like the only way to do this is to convert 开发者_运维百科it to a byte array or a stream. Is there anyway I can do this without saving it to disk first?

suggests that the correct way is to either

• copy the document to the clipboard, then stream the data off the clipboard, or...
• read the document Range's XML.

Cast the document to the IPersistFile interface, and then simply perform the "Save(path,false)" method:

var iPersistFile = (IPersistFile)this.Application.ActiveDocument;
iPersistFile.Save("[path]",false);
