Hello,

I'm new into using Word-Matlab activex controls. I have a very simple equation and I want its result to be written into a Word Document using activex control. Here's my code:

x1=1;
x2=2;
result=x1+x2;
word = actxserver('Word.Application');
word.Visible = 1;
newdoc = word.Documents.Add;
Con=get(newdoc,'Content');
set(Con,'Text',result)

When I run the above code, MATLAB gives me an error: "??? Parameter must be a string."

Any solution to that?

Thanks

% Try:

set(Con,'Text',num2str(result)); % note the conversion to a string
