if you have a bunch of figures open in matlab you can make a
script that loops through all of the figures and changes
something. if you "publish" this script matlab will make a
word document with all of your figures.

save the below code as a script:
%% make available figures active
h=findobj('type','figure');
for ind=1:length(h)
figure(h(ind))
grid on
end

run this from the commandline:
publish('your script name goes here','doc')
winopen(ans)

Probably the function save2word is what you are looking for:

Hi,

I would like to have a way where MATLAB figures are
automatically pasted to a Word document. Anyone know how to
go about this?

Thanks,

One way would be to publish the script that created the
figures, see the help for options.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid I don't exactly
follow what you mean. Could you clarify a bit more please?
