Hi Khairul,

You can achieve this using “actxserver” function in MATLAB. Here is an example code of how you might read the text from a Word document:

 
wordApp = actxserver('Word.Application');
  
filePath = 'C:\path\to\your\document.docx';  % path to your GAN_1901.txt file
  
document = wordApp.Documents.Open(filePath);
  
content = document.Content.Text; %reads the text from file.
  
disp(content); 
  
document.Close;
  
wordApp.Quit;

Feel free to refer to the “actxserver” documentation here:
