Hugh - since this is your homework, we can only give hints. To prompt the user for a string (in your case, a word) use input. Then to display this word on an axes, use text. You will need to define some sort of path (given your example image, it seems that the text will move in a straight line (at some angle) until it hits the edge and then bounce in a new direction) which will update the position of this text object.

can you describe me in more detail how can i make things moving on graphs in matlab, please? i did couple of researches and they told me to use the loop to make the change in positions of the word to create movement, but i need more detail and examples, can you give me any, please? thank you.

Hugh - again, since this is homework, all we can give out are hints. How are you defining your path for the text? How do you choose its direction and speed so that you can get the (x,y) coordinates of the text object?
