Hi! I am currently working on a school project about digital wireless communication.

We're having some problems with read in a word document with text into matlab,
what we want to do is to translate the words in the worddocument to binary code, we have no problems converting to the binary code , but we simply don't know how to import the word document in matlab.

Please help!
:)

Use the OfficeDoc utility - it can read Word documents and return the text within the document (it can also write to Word, and also works with Excel & PowerPoint if you need): http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/15192-officedoc-readwriteformat-ms-office-docs-xlsdocppt
