Save them as .jpeg, or .png ang export to word.

Read Saveas.

Thank you very much KSSV for your prompt response. Yes, I usually do like that. But can we export that by a matlab program just like we can export data to an excel file using xlswrite() command?

Works great for pasting into word, thanks.

Unfortunately I am still getting low quality images from imread compared to manually pasting into word, is there any way around this? Am using .png format, maybe a different one is better?

EDIT: Used the 2nd paste option (the Word.Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture() method) and that fixed my image quality, thanks again

The easiest way is to create a live script, create figures inside it, and export it as a word document from the save menu. However, this approach gives less control over how the figures will appear in the word document.

One of the proper approaches is to use MATLAB report generator and add images to the MS word document. Following links shows some example,

Another approach might be to use the ActiveX server, but it will only work on MS Windows: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/94937-how-can-i-automatically-export-an-image-to-a-microsoft-word-file-without-using-the-publish-function

I agree; this is a bit more complicated as compared to writing to excel file. I guess the live script approach is a bit easy, but I agree, exporting to images and pasting them is word file seems to be a good approach.
