Create a Hyperlink in Word using Matlab activeX

Currently I am trying to write some Text to Word using ActiveX and Matlab. This file: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/9112-writetowordfrommatlab helped me a lot. But I can't figure out how to insert an Hyperlink to Word.

e.g. I want to add the the word "test" connected with "www.test.de".

I've tried this:

ActXWord = actxserver('Word.Application');
ActXWord.Visible = true;
trace(ActXWord.Visible);  

word_handle = invoke(ActXWord.Documents,'Add');

ActXWord.ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add('test','www.test.de');

and also some other combinations with the 

ActXWord.ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add

method. But Matlab doesn't know the .Add method. I found some Excel examples which are working like this, but for Word it doesn't work. Somebody has an idea whats the problem could be?

Your issue is not really related to MATLAB. You are not calling the Add method of the ActiveX component correctly.

This should work:

link = 'www.test.de';
ActXWord.ActiveDocument.Content.InsertAfter(link);
ActXWord.ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add(word_handle.Range(0, length(link)), link);

Anyway, this is not related to MATLAB; for more information you should refer to MS Word VBA reference.
