Read figure form word file into matlab

Hi,

I want to read figures form a specific word file into matlab and save those figure to another word file?

This is require to automate the report work.

This is not a question yet.

Using Matlab for a meta-processing of Word files seems like a strange idea. This sounds like a job for a VB macro. But if you reall have good reasons to use Matlab, much more details are required to help you: How can the figures be recognoized? Is it a doc or docx format? How do you define the location to save the copied figure to?

Thanks jan,

my idea is, I have a 2 word files (doc format) consists of various test results graphs in image format.

now I have a fixed report format word file, and i want to call above 2 word files at there respective section in report to automate work.

I hope this is useful information.

Hiding images in Word documents makes it really hard to access them automatically later on. If you install LaTeX, store the images as EPS and create PDFs dynamically, the access would be trivial, because all information are available as files.

It is still not clear, how the Moatlab code can identify the wanted images in the Word document.

Hi jan,

Thank for prompt reply, my idea is to select all the images available in the word file , But i dont know how to import image from word to matlab.

for text and Table its working fine in my case but not for images.

Thanks for alternative suggestion.
