How can I set the MoveDown method to move down Paragraphs/Headings?

Hi, I'm using actxserver('Word.Application') to copy data from Matlab to a Word template. And I'm having problems with the navigation in the document.

%Initialization

word=actxserver('Word.Application');
document=word.Documents.Open([pwd '\Report_Generation\name_of_report.docx']);
word.Visible=1;
selection=word.Selection;

If I write

selection.MoveDown

or

invoke(selection,'MoveDown');

Then it's working, the selection moves down a line in the Word doc.

But if I would like the selection to move down paragraphs (or headings), not lines, and I set the arguments to wdParagraph I get an error. (even if i set the unit to wdLine, which is the default value).

>> selection.MoveDown(wdParagraph)
Undefined function or variable 'wdParagraph'.

>> selection.MoveDown(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdUnits.wdParagraph, 1, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdMovementType.wdMove)
Undefined variable "Microsoft" or function "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdUnits.wdParagraph".

>> invoke(selection,'MoveDown',wdParagraph);
Undefined function or variable 'wdParagraph'.

Do You know how to set properly the arguments of these methods?

Also if I use NET.addAssembly it is working, but i have to stay with actxserver.

NET.addAssembly('microsoft.office.interop.word');
word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass;
document = word.Documents.Open([pwd '\Report_Generation\name_of_report.docx']);
word.Visible = true;
selection = word.Selection;

selection.MoveDown(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdUnits.wdParagraph, 1, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdMovementType.wdMove);

Matlab is hopeless with COM enumerations, they don't get imported. As a result instead of using the enumaration names, you have to use the values.

Unfortunately, as well, MSDN is not very forthcoming on these values. I had to use Visual Studio object browser to get them. They are:

 WdUnits.
    wdCell = 12  
    wdCharacter = 1
    wdCharacterFormatting = 13
    wdColumn = 9
    wdItem = 16
    wdLine = 5
    wdParagraph = 4
    wdParagraphFormatting = 14
    wdRow = 10
    wdScreen = 7
    wdSection = 8
    wdSentence = 3
    wdStory = 6
    wdTable = 15
    wdWindow = 11
    wdWord = 2

 WdMovementType.
    wdExtend = 1
    wWdMove = 0

Thus:

selection.MoveDown(4, 1, 0);

Thank You it's working this way :)
