Manually a figure can be saved as svg file, but I cannot import it properly in word document. Is there other way around?
As Cirs Luengo says, you could copy (Edit -> Copy Figure) and paste the figure form MATLAB into Word, but to ensure the picture is saved as vector-graphics you have to check your settings in Preferences->Figure Copy Template->Copy Options.

I have a document with over 1000 images (set a), each of which are sitting on separate folder and I am loading them into my word document by entering the path in a "field". The images get uploaded to the word document and displayed.
I have another 1000 images (set b), all of which are named in the exact same way, except that they all end a different letter (b instead of a). I have tried to take my pre-existing and working word document that displayed the first 1000 images (set a), and edit the path in the field so that they all reference the set b images. This change is easy to make as I just need to find and replace everywhere that the text image_a.pngappears with image_b.png.
However, when I do this, the images don't actually refresh and are instead still displaying all of the images from set a. I have played around with a lot of stuff like saving the document as and opening it again, and for a separate issue I had to enter and exit print preview for my number sequence to update, and I tried that for this issue, but that still doesn't help. The only thing that I have found that works is if I go to each field individually, right click on it and select "edit field" and then select ok, and then the correct image will be displayed. However this is not a practical solution because I would have to do this over 1000 times. Does anyone know what is going on here and does anyone know a way to refresh/update all of the 1000 images at once?
Thanks!
Try Ctrl+A followed by the F9 key. You may need to press an Fn key with the F9.
If you need something more nuanced, I can provide a macro. For that, I would need the name of the field being used.

Is there a simple way to change / replace the automatically generated Template Miniature with a different image.
I have checked this out for Excel 2016 but the process is similar.
First, the thumbnail is generated and part of the file. There is no official process. A description for brave Office pros is shown below.
You can do this:
First, close Excel!
Get to the location of your template
Make a copy
Rename the file extension to .zip
Unzip the file into a new folder using the Windows Zip utility
Search the tree of files for a file called thumbnail.wmf
Open PowerPoint and create an empty presentation
Use the function "Insert an Image" and add the thumbnail.wmf to the slide
Remove everything else from the slide
Try to ungroup - it fails with a message asking to convert to a drawing object
From here you have two options. Either convert, ungroup, change and proceed or throw away and create a new image from scratch.
Work on image and group your image (the old or a new one), then
Right click on the grouped image and click "Save as picture"
Choose the filetype "wmf" and name it the same as before and overwrite the existing thumbnail.wmf
Go INTO the folder using Windows Explorer of unpacked files, hit Ctrl-A (Select All)
Right click and say "Send to" --> "Compressed (zipped) folder". Give it a new name.
Hit F2 to rename the file
Remove the file extension .zip
Now, open Excel!
Hit "New", "Personal" and you see your template with your custom image in full width and height. Repeat steps 10 to 16 until you're satisfied.
Drawbacks: Once you edit your file in excel and save as template with thumbnails option (advanced properties) switched on, Excel will overwrite your custom wmf-file. You have to repeat the steps "Unpack -> Replace File -> Pack" every time.
I'll post an update once I found a better solution.
Here is an automation of the process that might help with understanding the process described in the answer.
Python 3 code snippet
import zipfile
import shutil
exfilename = 'MYTEMPLATE.xltm'
a_path='C:\\TEMP'
th_path='mythumbnail.wmf'
with zipfile.ZipFile (exfilename, 'r') as zf:
#Extract to temporary folder
zf.extractall(a_path)
#replace the thumbnail
shutil.copyfile(th_path,a_path+'\\docProps\\thumbnail.wmf')
#remake the zip as a new file
shutil.make_archive('TEMP_ARCHIVE','zip',a_path)
#rename back to original, replacing original
shutil.move('TEMP_ARCHIVE.zip',exfilename)
#clean-up temporary files
shutil.rmtree(a_path)
I want to include an example of my model code within my project report. I have tried taking a screenshot of my code but it is just too long to be legible. I am therefore wondering if it is possible to output an image of my model code that has not been minimised or cut up into a word document for annotation?
(I assume the reason you don't just copy and paste is that you want to preserve the colors?)
Use “Save as Applet” on the File menu. From the resulting HTML file, cut out the applet part and just keep the code part.
Direct support for "Save as HTML" is coming in NetLogo 6.0; see https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/issues/645.
If Seth guessed wrong and you just need a monospace font, you can just copy (ctrl-A,ctrl-C) in the Code tab, paste into your Word document, and set the font to any monospace font (like Courier New).
If Seth guessed correctly and you want syntax highlighting, you can get the Vim syntax file, open your NetLogo file in Vim, select the code range, and then use Vim's TOhtml command. You can then read this HTML file into your Word document.
Note that using Word for reports involving code is a terrible idea: the code will immediately be out of sync, as soon as you make further changes. Instead, learn LaTeX use the listings package to read your code into your document.
I doing some formatting from copy/paste. When I copy a table from Word, and I want to insert it in my program, I need to edit the table formatting to show the info like I want.
When I copy from word I can view whats copy in clipboard magic:
Is there a way to get the formatting, or do I need to create a new table for scratch with the data listed in clipboard magic?
I Clipdiary the "copy" is read as HTML
This makes me wounder, is it possible to get the html code?
Yes, the HTML is present as CF_HTML. See reference on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767917(v=vs.85).aspx
If you just want to SEE it, ClipMate has a Binary display that will show you a binary dump of the data. It's available in the trial version. If you don't see the Binary tab in the display window, turn it on in the Tools | Options | Editor dialog.
I am trying to insert a table in an unalterable format into a Word 2010 file while retaining font size and sharpness.
So far, I have tried preparing the table as a pdf, then using Insert -> Object -> Adobe Acrobat File to get it into Word. Unfortunately, this inserts the table within margins automatically created on the Word page, and distorts lines and font size within the table.
Here are some things I've tried:
- Setting the margins of the page in the recipient Word file to 0" before importing the pdf.
- Printing the pdf on on a smaller page (7" x 9") then importing onto a page 8.5" x 11".
Neither worked; the imported pages were resized and the table printed badly.
The pdf I used was prepared from Word using PrimoPDF.
Please feel free to suggest formats other than pdf for the transfer if they can be more easily incorporated into the final Word document.
Your help will be appreciated.
First, prepare the table as a Word document. Go to the Review tab, and select Restrict Editing. Set Editing Restrictions to allow No changes (Read only). Press Yes, Start Enforcing Protection. Save file.
Next prepare the recipient document in Word. Go to the Insert tab, select Object, Create from File, and browse to find and insert the file.
The table will be inserted into the recipient Word file as a document within a document, and its 'Read Only' protection is maintained. All fonts and line styles remain as originally set.
