How to publish code as a Word document on a Mac?

I have Mac Office 2011 and R2012b, yet I haven't been able to publish .m code as a word document.
publish('my_fun.m','doc')
results in the following error:
"Error using mxdom2word (line 9) Publishing to Microsoft Word is only supported on the PC."
Really? This basic operation isn't supported? Is there a work-around?

Likely the communications with MS Word is handled via ActiveX, which is not present in OS-X.

Walter is right, publishing to Microsoft Word is performed with Active-X, a technology specific to Windows.
As an alternative, would publishing to HTML or PDF (supported on Macs) be workable for you?

A workaround is to publish to HTML, open the HTML up in Word, and then save as Word.

This does work, thanks!
I was hoping for a more direct way to get into Word, but the ActiveX issue seems to preclude that.
This has other drawbacks. For example, Line breaks appear not to be preserved. Seems like a bug in Word 2011.
Great idea! May not be perfect,but better than trying to convert pdf to word - at least as far as I know!
