How to Apply Numbering to Heading Titles in Word through actxserver

I am creating a MS word document through actxserver, i have created so Heading in the word using the following code.

word = actxserver('Word.Application');      % Start Word
document        = word.Documents.Add;       % Create new Document
selection       = word.Selection;           % Set Cursor
selection.Style = word.ActiveDocument.Styles.Item('Heading 1');
selection.Font.Bold = 1;
selection.Font.Size = 16;
selection.TypeText('Heading 1');
selection.TypeParagraph;

selection.Style = word.ActiveDocument.Styles.Item('Heading 2');
selection.Font.Bold = 1;
selection.Font.Size = 14;    
selection.TypeText(GroupName);
selection.TypeParagraph;

In the word documetn it will appear as -

Heading 1
Heading 2

Now i want to add numbering to the Heading in the Word Document through List Format -

selection.Range.ListFormat.ApplyNumberDefault(1);

But i unable to acheive the desired format as -

1. Heading 1
  1.1 Heading 2

when i look up the excel sheet objects -

where as in the MATLAB prompt -

So i want to achieve the following List Format -

1. ListLevelNumber controlled through MATLAB code
2. ListString controlled through MATLAB code

I have tried many ways using the -

  word.ActiveDocument.ListTemplates

Is there any way to get this Headings along with number MATLAB code.

I think your question is more about word API than matlab, so you're probably better off on a Word/Office forum. Once you know which word method to use, it's trivial to call it from matlab.

Guillaume is correct...this (and all the other similar Q? posed wrt to "How do I do X in Word/Excel/...?") is a MS Office syntax issue, not a MATLAB question.

@Guillaume, @dpb i understand your concern regarding the question. I have gone through various questions and implemented in both Stackflow and MS Office API documents. I have tried nearly 2 days in some many ways to implement this. But the problems is, we cannot implement exactly all the API's in the same way as in MATLAB.

I need to know the workaround problems required for this, or am i missing something in implementing this.

Something like this -

There are two parts to your question:

1) Knowing which Word functions/properties to use to do what you want. This is a question better asked on an Office/Word forum. I don't kniow the Word API well enough to help you there.

2) Coding that into matlab, we can certainly help there once you've got step 1 answered.

If you have VBA (or other language) code that does what you need, then we can translate that.
