read and import a docx file as an R object representing the document. When no file is specified, it uses a default empty file.
Use then this object to add content to it and create Word files from R.
Usage
read_docx(path = NULL)
# S3 method for class 'rdocx'
print(x, target = NULL, ...)
styles
read_docx()
uses a Word file as the initial document.
This is the original Word document from which the document
layout, paragraph styles, or table styles come.
You will be able to add formatted text, change the paragraph style with the R api but also use the styles from the original document.
See body_add_*
functions to add content.
Examples
library(officer)
pinst <- plot_instr({
z <- c(rnorm(100), rnorm(50, mean = 5))
plot(density(z))
})
doc_1 <- read_docx()
doc_1 <- body_add_par(doc_1, "This is a table", style = "heading 2")
doc_1 <- body_add_table(doc_1, value = mtcars, style = "table_template")
doc_1 <- body_add_par(doc_1, "This is a plot", style = "heading 2")
doc_1 <- body_add_plot(doc_1, pinst)
docx_file_1 <- print(doc_1, target = tempfile(fileext = ".docx"))
template <- system.file(package = "officer",
"doc_examples", "landscape.docx")
doc_2 <- read_docx(path = template)
doc_2 <- body_add_par(doc_2, "This is a table", style = "heading 2")
doc_2 <- body_add_table(doc_2, value = mtcars)
doc_2 <- body_add_par(doc_2, "This is a plot", style = "heading 2")
doc_2 <- body_add_plot(doc_2, pinst)
docx_file_2 <- print(doc_2, target = tempfile(fileext = ".docx"))
