The above code gets notepad into focus and then I can send hotkeys and other commands to it.
How can I get microsoft word or excel into focus in order to the same thing to it?

If you want to open an external file outside MATLAB, use the exclamation mark operator. In your case:
!notepad.exe
All you have to do is search on the internet how to open those applications from the command line.
