Thanks for your help! Very appreciated.

Thus you confirmed me to use

selection.Style = 'Heading 1'

Therefore, this limit my search on e.g.  the name of 'heading 1' on japanese ms word or using it with

Invoke()

So far this command didn't work on my machine.

Thanks,

 Hi,

 I am writing for asking an advice on Windows Package. I am using it so far

    
with

    

      satisfaction but I did not find yet the way to insert a title (e.g.
 ?Heading 1?) in Microsoft Word? even if this seems a basic argument.

    
Common

    

      Matlab? like commands are not working for this.
 Could you recommend me a solution for this.

 I thank you really much in advance.

 Best regards,
 Pierluigi

    

You can use the activex control:

pkg load windows
actxWord = actxserver("Word.Application")
wordHandle = invoke(actxWord.Documents,'Add');
selection = actxWord.Selection
selection.InsertAfter('A heading')
selection.Style = 'Heading 1'
actxWord.visible=true

Please post at the bottom of the messages

'Heading 1' is a default expected style in the english/US MS word, so probably needs to be whatever the corresponding style is on your computer.

Hi,

I am able to confirm that 

Selection.Style='Name of the style' 

works. In my case I had to make new styles named in roman letters because we cannot use kanji in octave isn't it. 

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Pierluigi
