I print figures to Word in a different way. First print the figure to a temporary file using something like
temp_fname = [tempname '.png'];%Create a temporary name
print(['-f' sprintf('%d',figure_number)], '-dpng', temp_fname);
where figure_number is the number of the figure you're working with.
Then insert the picture using something like
Word_COM.Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(temp_fname);
where Word_COM is the COM object for Word.
Lastly, delete the temporary file and set the size of the picture using
delete(temp_fname);
set(Pic, 'ScaleHeight', scale, 'ScaleWidth', scale);
where scale is some user-defined value. You can adjust the scale until you get something you like.
Good luck,
Eric
