Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
Indeed, replacing ReporteRs functionality was the topic of this thread. I
know... it can be a bit much to read an entire thread, but reading is needed if
you want to avoid non-sequitur, especially when the thread was not on topic for
this mailing list to begin with.

Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
However, the Reporters github page clearly says that the package has
been removed from CRAN and it has been replaced by the officer
package.
Note that ReporteRs has been removed from CRAN the 16th of July 2018
and is not maintained anymore. please migrate to officer.

Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
Many thanks ! Bert Gunter's answer is of course correct. The maintainer
suggests Stackoverflow or commercial advice - which is worrying as I have
some further questions concerning lists in [officer} - but first I'll do
some more research !

Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
Rmarkdown is my first choice as well... but the options available there for
controlling PDF output via LaTeX macros are incredibly powerful, while the
options available for controlling Word output from Rmarkdown are extremely
limited by comparison. ReporteRs and officeR provide considerably more
fine-grained control over Word formatting and layout than Rmarkdown supports,
so for meshing R output into an existing Word-based workflow without lots of
manual tweaking there is no comparison.

Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
The OP clearly hasn't followed the excellent documentation... this is not a
maintainer problem. It is the act of printing the completed object that puts a
file on disk.
However, the package author recommends in the README that help be requested
from stackoverflow, as the mailing list Posting Guidelines do warn that
contributed packages are not technically on topic in R-help. (Simply from a
practicality standpoint... there are thousands of them, each with potentially
voluminous details to distract from the R language itself.)

Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
But the OP explicitly notes that the read_docx package does *not* write
files and asks whether there are *other* packages or functions that provide
that functionality. It still seems to me that the ReporteR maintainer might
be the best place to go for that info, although there is certainly no
assurance that he can provide it.

Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
But before hassling the maintainer the OP should read the package vignettes and
run some examples... read_docx does not write to any files, so complaining that
it doesn't will be fruitless.

Re: [R] R create .docx file ?
This sounds like the sort of specialized question that should be directed
to the maintainer (?maintainer) rather than to a general Help list such as
this.

[R] R create .docx file ?
Dear All,
Mac Catalina - R 3.6.3 - all up-to-date packages.
I would like to re-create the functionality which was found in the package
{ReporteRs} by creating a .docx file in a folder on my computer from within
R - which can subsequently be used by the {officer} function read_docx.
The function read_docx on my system does NOT create a new document, and
neither does the following code:
new.word.doc=function(){ report = read_docx(path ..name.. ".docx"))
return(report) }
doc=new.word.doc()
I can use {base} file.create to create a file with an extension .docx - but
apparently this is not a .docx file - and read_docx can't read it.
Is there another R package or function which I can use in order to create
(and then close the link to R so that it can be used by another package) a
.docx file ?
Many thanks in advance.
