Hi Philipp,
You can add a line of code to save the document after the property change is made. You can use the following syntax:
hdlDoc.Save();
This will save the changes made to the document. You can also add a line of code to close the document after it has been saved:
hdlDoc.Close();
With these modifications, your updated script should look like this:
%% Initiallize Word Connection
hdlWord = actxserver('Word.Application');
hdlWord.Visible = true;
%% File and Location
fullLocation = 'C:\Users\Name\Documents\MATLAB\PropTest.docx';
hdlDoc = hdlWord.Documents.Open(fullLocation);
%% Property Change
hdlProp = get(hdlDoc.CustomDocumentProperties, 'Item', 'Property1');
get(hdlProp,'Value');
set(hdlProp,'Value','nice'); % saved as "jealous" before running the script
%% Save Doc
hdlDoc.Save();
hdlDoc.Close();
hdlWord.Quit();
By adding these lines of code, your script should now be able to save the changes made to the Word document and close it automatically. If you continue to experience issues, you may want to check that you have appropriate permissions to save files in that directory or consider using a different file location. Hope this will help resolve your problem. Please let me know if you have further questions.
