Hi Xiwen,
Use bookmarks in Word to mark locations, then use MATLAB's "actxserver" to interact with Word and insert tables at those bookmarks.

Hi Xiwen,
You can interact with the Word document using MATLAB by leveraging the ActiveX server for Word. To insert a table/figure at specific locations, you can add bookmarks in your Word template to mark the specific locations where you want the table or figure to be inserted. Here's how you can do it:
- Open you Word document and insert a bookmark with unique name where you want to insert the table/figure.
- Use MATLAB's COM Interface to insert a table or a figure. Here's the MATLAB script to insert a table in Word document:
% Start Word and open document
wordApp = actxserver('Word.Application');
doc = wordApp.Documents.Open('C:\path\to\your\template.docx');
% Define table data
data = rand(5, 3);
tableData = array2table(data);
% Find the bookmark where the table should be inserted
bookmark = doc.Bookmarks.Item('bookmark_name');
range = bookmark.Range;
% Create a temporary text file to save the table
tempTableFile = [tempname '.txt'];
writetable(tableData, tempTableFile, 'Delimiter', '\t');
range.InsertFile(tempTableFile);
delete(tempTableFile);
% Save and close
doc.SaveAs2('C:\path\to\save\newDocument.docx');
doc.Close();
wordApp.Quit();
To insert a figure, use a similar approach. Here's how you can do it:
% Save figure
figure; plot(rand(5, 1));
saveas(gcf, 'C:\path\to\figure.png');
% Insert figure
figureBookmark = doc.Bookmarks.Item('FigureLocation1');
figureRange = figureBookmark.Range;
figureRange.InlineShapes.AddPicture('C:\path\to\figure.png');
Refer to the following documentation link for more information on "actxserver":
Hope this helps.
