Hi,

How do I load MS Word document (.doc and .docx) to memory (variable) without doing this?:

wordApp.Documents.Open

I don't want to open MS Word, I just want that text inside.

You gave me answer for DOCX, but what about DOC? I want free and high performance solution - not to open 12.000 instances of Word to process all of them. :( Aspose is commercial product, and 900$ is a way too much for what I do.
