I need to update an MS Word document with new Matlab Figures and tables. The document does have text within it. Is there a way to open the MS Word document and replace the applicable Figures and tables?

Thanks.

With the MATLAB Report Generator DOM API in releases >= R2014b this is easily doable.

Hello, this doesn't seem to match what I am after. Again, I need to update documents that already have Matlab figures and tables. For lack of terms, I need to "find and replace" the existing figures and tables. Does this make sense? Thanks.

Best regards,

You would need to delete them from the word document and then have MATLAB repopulate them. But this is very doable with the report generator granted you'll delete them manually once.
