  sep = FALSE,
  w = 16838/1440,
  h = 11906/1440
)

Arguments

an rdocx object

widths

space

space in inches between columns.

Section breaks occupy a line

Ending a section is materialized in the document by an empty paragraph mark holding the section properties; this is how the OOXML format represents a section break, there is no other way, and Word does the same when a section break is inserted manually. As any paragraph mark, it occupies one line whose height depends on the default paragraph style. The same applies to run_columnbreak() when it has to be placed after a table: a table cannot host the break, so it must live in a paragraph that also takes one line. If that residual line matters for your layout, define a dedicated paragraph style with a very small font size (e.g. 1pt) and no spacing in your Word template, and use it for the paragraph hosting the break: fpar(run_columnbreak(), fp_p = fp_par(word_style = "MyTinyStyle")).
