I assume you want to access the header/footer in a Word document through Matlab m-script.

You can find these info in the Word help document, Microsoft Word Visual Basic Reference.

Here is the text regarding the Herder/Footer object:

Using the HeaderFooter Object Use Headers(index) or Footers(index), where index is one of the WdHeaderFooterIndex constants (wdHeaderFooterEvenPages, wdHeaderFooterFirstPage, or wdHeaderFooterPrimary), to return a single HeaderFooter object. The following example changes the text of both the primary header and the primary footer in the first section of the active document.

With ActiveDocument.Sections(1) .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = "Header text" .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = "Footer text" End With

MATLAB: How to start Header from a later page

Hi John,

For a PDF Page layout, you can define upto 3 types of page headers: one for first page, one for even pages, and one for odd pages. See https://www.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/mlreportgen.dom.pdfpagelayout-class.html#bu6wf3m-1-PageHeaders

PDFPageHeader class has a PageType property which defines the type of pages that header appears on.

Thanks,

Rahul

MATLAB: How to add a Header or a Footer to an EXCEL worksheet using MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

The ability to programmatically add the Header and Footer to an Excel worksheet can be implemented in MATLAB using the COM interface.

The ACTXSERVER command can be used to create a COM server running Microsoft Excel. You can then add the Header and Footer using the different methods for the workbook and then call XLSWRITE to write the data to the Excel worksheet as follows:

a = actxserver('Excel.Application');
a.Visible =1;
a.Workbooks.Add;
a.activeWorkbook.activesheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = 'MyFooter';
a.activeWorkbook.activesheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = 'MyHeader';
a.activeWorkbook.SaveAs('test.xlsx');
a.activeWorkbook.Close;
xlswrite('test.xlsx',[1 2 3]);

The following options can also be modified in a similar way:

a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader 
a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.RightHeader 
a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter 
a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.RightFooter
