I use the nice program wordreport to generate Word reports in Matlab. Typically I write a script and process 100+ datafiles, making plots and tables from each datafile that are then inserted into the Word document. However the formatting options in wordreport are limited, for example you can’t specify that a table is 3″ wide and that the first row and column are in bold font. If I was a whiz with ActiveX I could revise wordreport for more formatting options, but I haven’t understood enough about ActiveX to succeed. Alternatively, Matlab sells a toolbox for generating reports. If you use the toolbox, what’s your experience been – Worth the money? Can you make a lot of formatting choices, and generate reports from within scripts/functions rather than with a GUI?
