ActiveX control of Word. Select text and images

This is what I have done so far:

word = actxserver('Word.Application');

document = word.documents.Open('C:\Documents and Settings\kz7213\Desktop\Test.docx');

selection = word.Selection;

selection.TypeText('Big Finale'); 
selection.Style='Heading 1'; 
selection.TypeParagraph;

FIG1 = figure('Visible','off'); plot([1 2 3 4 5],[4 1 3 5 7]);

print -dmeta

selection.Paste; 

selection.Style='Heading 1';

selection.InsertCaption('Figure','Test figure 1'); %Not working
selection.Style='CaptionStyle';

selection.TypeParagraph;

How can I select previous entered text such as "Big Finale" to edit it, or select the figure I pasted with the selection. Paste command in order to make a caption for the image?

Possible solution in VBA for MS Word:

'to find a text
    Selection.Find.Execute FindText:="Big Finale", Wrap:=wdWrapAlways

'to select inline shape
    ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).Select

Alternative solution to find a inlineshape(s) is to use .Find.Execute method with the following settings:

Selection.Find.Execute FindText:="/", Wrap:=wdWrapAlways, MatchWildcards:=True
