Work with Microsoft Word Documents Using .NET

This example for Microsoft^® .NET Framework uses classes from the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass class. For information about the class and using the interface with different versions of Microsoft Word, refer to documentation on the Microsoft website.

The following code creates a Word document:

dotnetenv("framework")
NET.addAssembly('microsoft.office.interop.word');
wordApp = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass;
wordDoc = wordApp.Documents;
newDoc = Add(wordDoc);

If you want to type directly into the document, type the MATLAB^® command:

wordApp.Visible = true;

Put the cursor into the document window and enter text.

To name the document myDocument.docx and save it in the My Documents folder, type:

SaveAs(newDoc,'myDocument.docx');

When you are finished, to close the document and application, type:

Save(newDoc);
Close(newDoc);
Quit(wordApp);
