.jpg, etc... doesn't seem to be good format for "word" to publish. How to export or print the figures in good, better scale-able, format?
Thanks.

What sort of figure is it? If it is just lines, things should scale well with .svg or similar. If you have an image then using a vector format is maybe not a good idea. Then I would just increase the resolution of the exported figure so it looks better.

After looking everywhere for stuff to use to save my figure containing an imagesc plot, exportgraphics did exactly what I wanted too. I didn't have to do any addition things to keep the background color for the plot black! Thanks!

.bmp or bitmap shows better quality than png when imported into Word.
It is more obvious in Word than it is here but try it out and see for yourself! (.bmp at top .png at bottom)

It's not obvious to me. Tell us what to look at specifically. They look identical except that the BMP one is a little narrower horizontally. Also, attach the files if you can with the paper clip icon.
