Is it possible to export a Word document to a string of HTML without saving as file to disk?

// Loads an existing Word document.
WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument(filePath);
// Creates new MemoryStream to save Word document.
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
// Saves and closes the WordDocument instance.
wordDocument.Save(stream, FormatType.Html);
wordDocument.Close();stream.Position = 0;
// Converts stream to string
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
string htmlString = reader.ReadToEnd();
stream.Dispose();
reader.Dispose();
// Displays the resultant HTML string in MessageBox.
MessageBox.Show(htmlString);

' Loads an existing Word document.
Dim wordDocument As WordDocument = New WordDocument(filePath)
' Creates New MemoryStream to save Word document.
Dim stream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
' Saves And closes the WordDocument instance.
wordDocument.Save(stream, FormatType.Html)
wordDocument.Close()
stream.Position = 0
' Convert stream to string
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(stream)
Dim HtmlString As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
stream.Dispose()
reader.Dispose()
' Displays the resultant HTML string in MessageBox.
MessageBox.Show(htmlString)
