How do I import a matlab figure into MS Word/OpenOffice?

The export from matlab figures is desirably a vektor format because there is no easy way to set the resolution of exported bitmaps. Unfortunately the *.emf export in Matlab is broken and looks corrupted so that only *.eps remains.

Two possibilities:

  1. Use the eps file and accept the ugly preview.
  2. Import the eps file in CorelDraw using the "PS,PRN,EPS - PostScript Interpreted" import filter. Now ou can even edit your plot! Mark your plot, copy it (CTRL-c), switch to your office application and paste it with "Edit->Paste Special (Picture Windows Metafile)".
