Resize figure window to reduce whitespace?

I have a script that automatically generates reports using wordreport, which includes copying figures to the Windows clipboard (print -dmeta) then pasting them into a Word document. Sometimes there is excess white space around the axis of my plots. For example, if normally there are 4 subplots in a figure generated with subplot(4,1,1) but in a particular instance I only generate the first 2 subplots, I would like to copy the figure to the clipboard without the excess whitespace.

Is there a straightforward way to do so? This is a "nice to have" not "need to have" item, so feel free to answer "no".

A file linked to those, tightfig, was just what I was looking for. Thanks!
