I used the following code to generate an Enhanced Metafile (EMF)
figure ('renderer','painters') z = peaks; mesh(z); colormap([0 0 0]); print -dmeta peaks1.emf
I then place the "peaks1.emf" in a Microsoft Word document as follows:
Go to "Insert" menu in MS Word, and choose "Picture -> From File". Locate the "peaks1.emf" in the "Insert Picture" dialog box that opens, and click "Insert".
Unlike other metafiles, when I place "peaks1.emf" file in a Microsoft Word document, I am unable to edit this metafile by double-clicking on it (i.e., the file is treated as a bitmap rather than a vector-based graphic file).
I observe the same behavior if I insert the figure into MS Word using the Windows clipboard rather than explicitly exporting to a metafile. I follows these steps:
In the MATLAB figure window, I go to "Edit" menu and choose "Copy Figure". I then open a new MS Word document and insert the copied figure by choosing "Paste" from the "Edit" menu in MS Word. Although the figure is inserted, I am unable to edit its contents.
