Creating a text matrix

Just wanted to know whether Matlab can create a matrix which consists of text for example:

Matrix A =

[Text 1a Text 1b; Text 2a Text 2b; Text 3a Text 3b] etc.

I just need to know as I want to be able to manipulate the matrix in a way that will let me rearrange the text inside the matrix. Any help will be appreciated.

Matthew - yes, MATLAB can create a matrix (or a multidimensional cell array) of text strings. See cell arrays of strings for details.
