I usually use ActiveX if I want "live" communication with Microsoft Office products. You can search this forum for ActiveX and you'll get lots of hits.
Otherwise pass stuff around via text files, Excel workbooks, or whatever file type you want to use.

you can use
system('file.doc') % to launch a word document
You can also link Matlab with certain applications like Excell.
