I have the whole MS Word file itself saved into a byte array.A want to load it the way I would if it was on file system but with the minimal use of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word because it is very slow when it gets the the .Open(args[]) part.

What you want to do./.. You want to read the file .. or Write the file ???Aravind– Aravind2013-08-12 10:28:09 +00:00Commented Aug 12, 2013 at 10:28

Try this....
byte[] bte = File.ReadAllBytes("E:\\test.doc"); // Put the Reading file
File.WriteAllBytes(@"E:\\test1.doc", bte); // Same contents you will get in byte[] and that will be save here

It still uses filesystem I/O. I believe the author is looking for a solution that keeps the
byte[] in memory without writing the file to disk?There is no supported way to do it right off-the-bat using Interop.Word, as there are no methods supporting byte arrays.
As a viable workaround you can use a temporary file in the following way:
// byte[] fileBytes = getFileBytesFromDB();
var tmpFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
File.WriteAllBytes(tmpFile, fileBytes);
Application app = new word.Application();
Document doc = app.Documents.Open(filePath);
// .. do your stuff here ...
doc.Close();
app.Quit();
byte[] newFileBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(tmpFile);
File.Delete(tmpFile);
Fore additional info, read this post on my blog.

Can we Convert an Application object to byte[] array with saving a file ?
The method public static byte[] ReadAllBytes(
string path
) returns all the file information into a byte array. You dont have to worry about the stream, as the MSDN documentation says:
"Given a file path, this method opens the file, reads the contents of the file into a byte array, and then closes the file."
