Configuring Notebook  

After you install Notebook but before you begin using it, you must configure it. (Notebook is installed as part of the MATLAB installation process on Windows platforms. For more information, see the MATLAB installation documentation for your platform.)

Before configuring Notebook, you must specify that Word can use the Notebook macros. Do either of the following:

• Set the macro security level to medium. In Word, select Tools -> Macros -> Security, and in the resulting dialog box, choose Medium.
• After starting Notebook, when Word first opens, a security warning dialog box appears. In the dialog box, select Always trust macros from this source. This allows you to use Notebook, but still maintain a high security level for other macros you use in Word.

This is not required for Microsoft Word 97.

To configure Notebook,

1. In the MATLAB Command Window, type

• notebook -setup
  

1. Notebook prompts you to specify which version of Microsoft Word you are using.

   • Welcome to the utility for setting up the MATLAB Notebook for 
     interfacing MATLAB to Microsoft Word
     
     Choose your version of Microsoft Word:
     [1] Microsoft Word 97 (will not be supported in future releases)
     [2] Microsoft Word 2000
     [3] Microsoft Word 2002 (XP)
     [4] Microsoft Word 2003 (XP)
     [5] Exit, making no changes
     
     Microsoft Word Version: 
     

2. Type the number that corresponds to your version. For example, type 3 if you have Microsoft Word 2002 XP.

1. Notebook performs the setup. If Notebook cannot find all of the necessary files, it will prompt you to specify the locations of the files, including the Microsoft Word executable (winword.exe) and the template file (normal.dot).

   When setup is complete, the following message appears:

   • Notebook setup is complete.
