In many situations, plain raster graphic versions of the plots, inserted in documents produced with the publish command, limits a potential curious reader from digging deeper into the fine details of the data.

Even though it is always possible to provide of as many aspects of the data as needed, it will always result impractical, and maybe impossible to predict what our readers would need or want to see in detail.

pbl.doc() automates the process of converting every figure opened in current session into the Matlab's *.fig format, so they can be appended at the end of the published Word document, making this tedious task a very simple process.

The implementation makes use of MSOffice's activeX API to manipulate the published document.
