I suspect there's an obvious answer to this, but if I want to include function definitions in a Matlab Notebook (so the documentation is in Word) how do I do that? Perhaps someone can point me to the spot I've missed in the Matlab documents. Thanks.

You mean like the "Publish" functionality? In R2012b there is a "Publish" tab if you're in the editor window. Publish existed in earlier versions too - look it up in your help.

I don't think that's what I want, but I probably didn't ask clearly. I want to make up homework answers for my students. In the past, that would have been one or more Matlab functions with documentation written in. Instead, I'd like to "embed" the Matlab code in Word so that it's easier to write explanations of what I'm doing. The code often includes function definitions.

Hi Richard,
I don't believe it is possible to include a function definition in a notebook (though not positive).
What you could do as a workaround is have the function defined in MATLAB and then call
type foo
To have the contents of the function printed.
@IA, Here is some more info on Notebooks. I hadn't learned about them until recently either...
They're pretty cool actually; it's a way that you can evaluate code in Word and have the results printed right it your word doc.

your matlab "current directory" must include the function what you difined.
