Configuring Notebook

After you install Notebook, but before you begin using it, you must configure it. (Notebook is installed as part of the MATLAB^® installation process on Microsoft^®Windows^® platforms. For more information, see the MATLAB installation documentation for your platform.)

Before configuring Notebook, specify that Word can use the Notebook macros.

• In Word 2002, and 2003 do either of the following:

  • Set the macro security level to medium: in Word, select Tools > Macros > Security, and in the resulting dialog box, choose Medium.

  • After starting Notebook, when Word first opens, a security warning dialog box appears. In the dialog box, select Always trust macros from this source. This allows you to use Notebook, but still maintain a high security level for other macros you use in Word.

• In Word 2007, follow the Word help instructions in the topic entitled "Enable or disable macros in Office documents."

To configure Notebook, type the following in the MATLAB Command Window:

notebook ('-setup')

MATLAB accesses the MicrosoftWindows system registry to locate Microsoft Word and the Word templates directory, and to identify the version of Word. MATLAB then copies Notebook's m-book.dot template to the Word templates directory. MATLAB Notebook supports Word versions 2002, 2003, and 2007.

When Notebook setup successfully finishes, MATLAB displays the message
