A scanned copy is usually stored on a computers memory after scanning and can be reproduced as you wish by only taking one digital imprint of the original document. A color copy, however is only a simple imprint (copy) of the original document which is not stored on a computers memory.
One way to invoke an Excel macro from MATLAB is by launching Excel as a COM server from MATLAB using the 'actxserver' command. Suppose there is an Excel file 'myFile.xls' containing the macro called 'Macro1'. The following commands should first open the Excel file and then run the macro: % Create object.
I tried running the file from both the command window and directly from the m-file but neither works. The function and variable names are not conflicting. The same function works fine on my pc (with r2008a), but not on my laptop running matlab r2009a. Even a simple m-file to display a message won't run on my laptop now.
