Editor's Note: This file was a File Exchange Pick of the Week

This function saves Matlab figure windows or Simulink models to a Powerpoint file in metafile format using the ActiveX interface. The figure or model is first copied to the Windows clipboard, Powerpoint is started, a new blank slide is added, the figure/model is pasted, the file is saved, and Powerpoint is closed. If the Powerpoint file does not exist, a new one is created. An optional input argument allows you to add a unique title to the PowerPoint slide when it is created. This routine is handy when a large number of graphics must be inserted into Powerpoint, such as within a FOR loop. It is also a good example of how to use ActiveX to move Matlab graphics to other Windows programs.
Version 2.2 allows figures to be saved quietly in the background without PPT being visible.
