You can work with the Word Object Model in MATLAB to add an image to a Word file. For example, suppose you have an image 'test_img.png'. The following script will look for this image in the current working directory and export the image to a word file, 'mydoc.doc' in the current working directory:
imgName =[pwd, '\test_img.png'];
fileName = [pwd, '\mydoc.doc'];
wordApplication=actxserver('Word.Application');
% Define constants.
wdFormatDocument = 0;
%set(wordApplication,'Visible',1); % Great for debugging.
documents = wordApplication.Documents;
% Create a new document.
documents.Add;
doc = documents.Item(documents.Count);
selection = wordApplication.Selection;
% add picture
selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(imgName); % absolute path to the image
selection.TypeParagraph;
selection.TypeParagraph;
% save and close
doc.SaveAs(fileName,wdFormatDocument);
doc.Close(0);
wordApplication.Quit

Note that the above script requires Microsoft Word installed on the system.
