I want to add the author's name and title of word document file using the matlab code. I get the error: 'Index exceeds matrix dimensions'.

I used following code:

filepath_target = 'C:\New_folder\temp.docx';

word = actxserver('Word.Application'); % start Word

word.Visible = 1; % make Word invisible (set to 1 to make Word visible)

document = word.Documents.Open(filepath_target); % open template

document.BuiltInDocumentProperties('Title').Value = 'set the title'; %Error

document.BuiltInDocumentProperties('Author').Value = 'set the Author name';   %Error

The error was same for both of these code: 'Index exceeds matrix dimensions'.

please share me the solution.

See Mathworks support article:

If that doesn't work, write back. And attach a Word document that it's not working for.
