I am creating a GUI which will display a matrix, and allow the user to edit the value of each element of the matrix.

I want to display it in a table on my figure and have the user edit it.

One example of this can be found on the MATLAB Central file exchange. This example uses FLEXGRID:

MATLAB: How to export a MATLAB matrix ‘A’ as a table in Microsoft Word

This functionality is currently not possible with the MATLAB publishing tools.

There are however, several user-submitted functions that can help you achieve this. These are available at the MATLAB Central File Exchange. One, called TABLE2WORD, uses ActiveX controls to take data from a MATLAB variable and put it in a table in a Word document. Another option is a function called WriteToWordFromMatlab. This contains a sample script demonstrating how you can use ActiveX controls to create a report with figures, tables, headers, and text. The files can be found at the following locations:

MATLAB: Do I get an “kCGErrorRangeCheck” error when trying to start MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1)

The "kCGErrorRangeCheck" error you are receiving seems to be caused by the window manager as opposed to MATLAB. It may be that you do not have the necessary permissions to remotely run a graphical application. Check with your system administrator about what permissions you have assigned to your account.

Users may still be able to use MATLAB's command line interface. This can be done by starting MATLAB with the following commands:

 matlab -nodesktop
 matlab -nojvm

However, it may not be possible to display MATLAB figures.
