Huge white space around the plot after saving

Hi all,

Unfortunately, after save my figure and paste it in the Microsoft office word I see there is a huge white space around it. I want to make this white space as minimal as possible. I also read the page for saving figures with minimal white space but since I need to save it as -SVG It doesn't help me.

Here is my code:

CC_1 = rand(17, 8);
yvalues = {'Jan.','Feb.','Mar.','Apr.','May','Jun.','Jul.','Aug.','Sep.','Oct.','Nov.','Dec.','Winter','Spring',...
    'Summer','Autumn','Annual'};
xvalues = {'model1','model2','model3','model4','model5','model6','model7','model8'};
h = heatmap(xvalues,yvalues,CC_1);

% Temporarily change axis units 
% (from https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/481666-heatmap-chart-depict-squares-rather-than-rectangles#answer_393143)
originalUnits = h.Units;  % save original units (probaly normalized)
h.Units = 'centimeters';  % any unit that will result in squares
% Get number of rows & columns
sz = size(h.ColorData); 
% Change axis size & position;
originalPos = h.Position; 
% make axes square (not the table cells, just the axes)
h.Position(3:4) = min(h.Position(3:4))*[1,1]; 
if sz(1)>sz(2)
    % make the axis size more narrow and re-center
    h.Position(3) = h.Position(3)*(sz(2)/sz(1)); 
    h.Position(1) = (originalPos(1)+originalPos(3)/2)-(h.Position(3)/2);
else
    % make the axis size shorter and re-center
    h.Position(4) = h.Position(4)*(sz(1)/sz(2));
    h.Position(2) = (originalPos(2)+originalPos(4)/2)-(h.Position(4)/2);
end
% Return axis to original units
h.Units = originalUnits; 

% save figure
set(gcf,'PaperOrientation','landscape');
set(gcf,'PaperUnits','normalized')
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0, 0, .4, .6]);
print(gcf,'CC_ALL','-dsvg');

And here is the figure

Please let me know if there is any way to eliminate white space around my figure since I have more than 60 figures.

Thank you so much

Try exportgraphics() instead of print().

Thank you, unfortunately I got this error:

Error using exportgraphics
File format 'svg' is not valid for export.

After using:

ax = gca;
exportgraphics(ax,'C_ALL.svg')

Then try export_fig().
