Take a look at the vast number of options at Exporting graphs page and choose the one that suits your need. The simplest approach would be to do File -> SaveAs.

I prefer inserting Matlab figures as EPS into MS-Word. This looks ugly on the screen, because only the pixel-preview is shown. But when printed or written to a PDF the diagrams are inserted as vector graphics and the appearence is excellent.

I saved the figure as .eps, but it is not opening.

@bsd: What does this mean? I would not try to open it (by a double-click?!), but to include it as graphics object in MS-Word. BTW. I'm using GhostView to open EPS files...

oh sorry, I don't have ghostscript installed on my computer.
