How to make mlx export to use word's default template?

When I use 'export' on a Live Script mlx file to docx, the output is created without the word template.

However, when use 'publish' on an m file, the output doc file uses the default word template.

How can I make mlx's 'export' function use the default word's template?

Hi @Sasha Brodski,

By default, the export function for MLX files converts them into PDF format. To export an MLX file to a DOCX format, you need to specify the 'Format' name-value argument. Additionally, you can customize options such as page size.

Here's an example of how to use the export function:

>> export("yourMLXfile.mlx", Format="docx", PageSize="Letter", OpenExportedFile=true)

Please refer to the documentation section here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/export.html#namevaluepairs

I hope this helps.

Hi Abhishek, thanks for the answer but that wasn't where I had trouble. I was able to export to a .docx file (and other types as as well), but as I wrote in my original quention the issue I had that my original .docx template (i.e. my custom heading and footing which I defined in Word) is being overwritten when using Live Script's 'export' feature.
