MATLAB: How to publish code as a Word document on a Mac

docmacofficeoutput file formatpublish

I have Mac Office 2011 and R2012b, yet I haven't been able to publish .m code as a word document.

publish('my_fun.m','doc')

results in the following error:

"Error using mxdom2word (line 9) Publishing to Microsoft Word is only supported on the PC."

Really? This basic operation isn't supported? Is there a work-around?

Likely the communications with MS Word is handled via ActiveX, which is not present in OS-X.

The ability to add page numbers to published Word documents is not available in MATLAB.

As a workaround you can use the ability of MATLAB to control Microsoft Word with the ACTXSERVER function to add page numbers to the Word document after publishing. Please run the attachment for an example of adding a custom footer that insert the current date and page number fields.

I cannot try it currently by my own:

wdoc = word.Documents.Open([pwd '\' title], [], true);
% [EDITED] true instead of 'true'

Does something like this work? See: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/api/microsoft.office.interop.word.documents.open
