How do I add WordArt to an MS Word document using ActiveX in MATLAB ?

In Word there is an option to insert WordArt (for curved or rotated text etc). How can I add this to a document using ActiveX from MATLAB, and preferably set font colours and rotation of text. Many thanks!

Are you sure it is a good idea to create MS Word documents remotely controlled from Matlab? I'm sure it will work, but a macro inside word might be much easier, instead of the indirection over Matlab.

Well, ultimately I wish to create reports that will generate from Matlab - adding figures to the report that have been created in matlab. Also, I'd like to learn more about ActiveX commands, but I'm struggling to find certain specific commands (such as adding WordArt in this case).
