Close PowerPoint with actxserver

Hello,

I am using the actxserver() method to make PowerPoint presentations from Matlab. Is it possible to close the presentation at the end? I am using the following code (a method within a class):

I am looking for a quit method. The Quit-method does not work. Whereas when using an actxserver('Excel.Application'), the Quit-method does work and Excel get closed.

actXserver = actxserver('PowerPoint.Application'); %Create an ActiveX object
obj.actserverPP_1 = actXserver;
actXinterface = actXserver.Presentation.Open( fullfile(obj.templatePath_1, obj.templateName_1) ); %Open an existing presentation by supplying the fullpath to the file
obj.presentationInterface_1 = actXinterface; 

%Other code
% ...
% ...

%   Here I want to close the presentation:
%   something like
%   obj.actserverPP_1.Quit -> The quit method does not work

clear actXserver actXinterface
obj.actserverPP_1 = []; %Clear activeserver
obj.presentationInterface_1 = []; %Clear interface

I think something like this should do it.

h = actxserver('PowerPoint.Application')
h.Quit

If not, you could try this.

invoke(h,'Quit')

invoke(h, 'Quit') works perfectly. Thanks a lot
