title: How to write to an Excel file through Matlab using OpenOffice?
body: <p>I would like to write a module in Matlab  for writing to an excel file. I am using Openoffice in Windows Vista.</p>
  
  <p>I have a module which would work with Microsoft excel, since I donot have Microsoft office, it would throw an exception.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the Matlab code segment which I would like to change to work for openoffice</p>
  
  <pre><code>Excel = actxserver ('Excel.Application');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code segment is throwing an exception. Any idea how to change the code to work for open office? </p>
  
  <p>I am not familiar with the Matlab API's that I need to use to read/write excel files</p>
